How Manchester City’s homegrown Phil Foden became the “best player in the Premier League” – Champions League

Manchester – There aren’t many people left at Manchester City who have been with the club longer than Abu Dhabi’s oil and gas billions. Phil Foden isn’t one of them, but it’s damn close: he’s been playing for City since 2009, Sheikh Mansour joined him a year before. Today Foden is 23 years old, has long been a fixture in the Citizens’ game – and one of the keys to promotion in today’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid (9 p.m.). He scored brilliantly in the 3-3 draw in the first leg and was named “Man of the Match”.
