It's extremely rare that Pep Guardiola makes such a bold statement about one of his talented young players. Or even one of his senior players.
"We had the privilege to almost announce that this guy will take a big decade, will be an absolutely incredible player for Manchester City in the next years," Guardiola boasted after Manchester City beat Liverpool, helped by an all-action performance from 18-year-old Lewis.
That's some praise for a player with only a handful of appearances to his name, and Guardiola is often keen to downplay expectations for his academy graduates. Maybe Lewis is different to those that have come before him, though.
