Ilkay Gundogan identifies two Man City players who have been crucial in the club’s success this season.
Ilkay Gundogan articulated profoundly of Manchester City’s youngest and oldest squad members as the Germany star spoke ahead of the club’s first Champions League Final.
Phil Foden and Fernandino have both been crucial to Manchester City’s progress this summer, with the former having made 49 appearances and having scored in each of the Blues’ last two games.
Foden has become a fundamental part of Manchester City’s overwhelming attack, and Ilkay Gundogan states that the youngster, who is anticipated to be added in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the European Championships, is “doing incredibly well.”
Glorifying his teammate in Monday’s Champions League Final pre-match press conference, the German international said,
“Phil has became one of our main players, he’s doing incredibly well, he’s improved so many details of his game.
“Mainly taking right decisions at crucial times. It’s impressive at such a young age. I wouldn’t recommend him changing anything from the last few games.”

Ilkay Gundogan who has scored 17 goals for Manchester City this term went on to say that Phil Foden is “a game-changer for us and can be on Saturday.”
Club captain Fernandinho’s position within the squad has also been highlighted lately, as the Manchester City midfielder said that he “can’t express how important he is to us as a group. He’s immense, obviously didn’t get as much game time as others this season but he exactly know his role and responsibilities and what he has to say in the right times.”
“This is what a leader is. A leader doesn’t always score the goals or plays the minutes. It’s someone who’s not scared to say the truth in the bad moments. He has empathy inside himself to understand his personal role. Even if that’s not from a sporting perspective not easy, he handled it this season.”
Ilkay Gundogan went on the add that Fernandinho is “a big part of our success this season. If you want a lot of characters, you want players like Fernandinho. He has the right mindset and is so important for us, I can’t describe it.”
