Joao Cancelo names one Man City player as ‘the best he’s ever played with ‘ in one category
Following a 2-0 defeat to PSG in September, the Premier League champions returned to winning ways in Europe at the Jay Breydel Stadium.
In Bruges, Pep Guardiola’s team was at their best, with Phil Foden running the show as the youngster operated in a deeper midfield role alongside Rodri on matchday three of the Champions League campaign.
The 21-year-old, who has 33 goals in 132 first-team appearances across all competitions, has been in excellent form since returning from a foot injury that kept him out at the start of the season.
According to The Independent, City star Joao Cancelo discussed Foden’s performance and potential after the Sky Blues’ 5-1 thrashing of Club Brugge in Tuesday’s Champions League clash.
“It was a great pass from Phil,” the Portugal international said of Foden’s sublime assist that allowed the 27-year-old to open the scoring in Belgium (Foden).
“He (Foden) is a fantastic player, and I am not surprised by this pass. He is the best young player I have ever played with. He has a great talent, a lot of skills.
“I am sure he (Foden) will give Manchester City plenty of happy times in the future, and if he developing like this, he will be one of the best players in the world.”
Cancelo’s comments about Foden’s seemingly limitless potential are shared by many City fans, who believe the 21-year-old has the potential to one day be regarded as one of the best footballers on the planet.
The current PFA Young Player of the Year, who starred for England in their recent 5-0 win over Hungary, has been directly involved in five goals in eight appearances since returning to full fitness this season.
