Pep Guardiola said the opportunities that Rico Lewis has taken are there for any Manchester City youngster willing to be patient.
Lewis, 17, enjoyed a dream full debut as he scored the equalising goal in a 3-1 win over Sevilla with the young right-back lashing the ball into the net before enjoying a standing ovation from the home crowd when he was substituted late in the game. His progress is the latest success story in an academy that is producing plenty of talent for City's first team and for many other clubs.
Guardiola has been delighted with Lewis this season after being convinced to take a chance on him in pre-season. As promising as he is, the defender still had to earn his start this evening.
