Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany admits they're facing a new era this season.
There is a younger generation that Pep Guardiola is counting on as well: Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne.
With Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta playing at West Ham, Kompany is the last of the 'Three Amigos' still entrusted with being a custodian of City's heritage.
"We're grown up. It is football, nothing lasts forever," he told the Daily Mail. "It is more a case of me trying to pass things on about the club and why players like Joe and Zaba were heroes.
"When I came to City there was a gap in the dressing room as regards passing on the baton, as you say. There was not a lot then — Dunny [Richard Dunne] was maybe the only one.
"It was the staff and people around who would tell you about Shaun Goater and Paul Dickov, what they did for the club. But it is more powerful when it comes from the current players. I like to go into the academy, meet people, see what's going on."
