Ruben Dias has had an excellent career at Manchester City. After signing for the club in 2020, he has gone on to win a series of trophies, including the treble in 2023.

When fit, Dias is seemingly the defender that Pep Guardiola trusts above all others, and his presence in the side is also appreciated by Manchester City supporters.

Although it isn't one of their most famous chants, the Blue Army do have a Ruben Dias chant that is most commonly heard in City away ends up and down the country.

For all the most important information on this Man City chant, including the lyrics and tune, we have you covered below.

Ruben Dias chant, lyrics and tune

The Ruben Dias chant is sung to a popular, catchy football song that is used by several sets of supporters. The lyrics are as follows

Ruben Dias, our number three,

He left Benfica to come to City,

He won the cup, he won the league,

He hates United and he loves City!

Ruben Dias chant background

The Ruben Dias chant was created by City fans relatively early on in his career at the Etihad Stadium. Specifically, fans started chanting it after his full season at the club.

The references to the Portuguese defender winning the cup and league are a nod to the fact that he won the Carabao Cup and the Premier League during his first season at Man City, playing a big part in both triumphs.

The dig at Man Utd at the end of the chant is borderline customary for all Man City chants at this point, and who can blame them after several decades of having their noses rubbed in all of their neighbours' success during the 1990s and 2000s.

FGG says: A City legend gets what he deserves

It could be argued that Ruben Dias' best season in a Man City shirt was his debut campaign, so it's no surprise that Man City fans took to him so quickly. Perhaps a modified version of the chant could be created now that he is a Champions League winner, in addition to being a league and cup champion.
