Ilkay Gundogan has faced Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, as well as some of the best players to pass through the Premier League and Bundesliga or the international scene with Germany.
However, Gundogan has named an unlikely player as his toughest-ever opponent this week, pointing to an Everton defender rather than one of the more predictable world-class names he has lined up against.
Gundogan, 31, spoke to SportBILD where he expressed his desire to stay at City beyond his current contract that expires next summer, and he has also made headlines by naming Everton's Yerry Mina as his most difficult opponent.
