Pep Guardiola refused to back down from his assertion that Southampton's James Ward-Prowse is the world's best free-kick taker.
But the Manchester City boss joked that his own star Kevin De Bruyne, who perfectly placed the ball on the head of Aymeric Laporte to earn the Blues a point against Ward-Prowse's Southampton, is second best!
Guardiola has a habit of talking up opposition players in the build-up to games, and he was quick to praise Ward-Prowse, who is second only to Lionel Messi in terms of scoring direct from free kicks in European football in the last five years.
