Owen Hargreaves has explained why Phil Foden is the "most unique footballer" in the world following his instrumental display during Manchester City's hard-fought 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid.
The 21-year-old was summoned by Pep Guardiola in the 68th minute as part of a triple change from the Citizens boss, with the game still goalless and Diego Simeone 's side in a typically stern mood. But Foden need just two minutes to make an impact, threading Kevin De Bruyne through to break the deadlock. The super sub was then hailed Hargreaves, who laid out what makes him so special post-match.
"He's able to do this as a false nine, as a right winger, as a No.10, as a deeper midfielder, he can play off the left. It's hard enough to play at this level, he can play at a world-class level in four or five different positions," the former Manchester United ace, who also played for City, began on BT Sport.
