By characterizing Phil Foden’s injury as merely a “knock,” Pep Guardiola assuaged concerns that the Manchester City player had sustained a catastrophic injury during the Champions League tie with Real Madrid.
The first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal, which finished 3-3 at the Bernabeu, appeared to have an issue late on for Foden.
The England international had previously finished an incredible season with a goal, but his late exit raised some concerns. However, Guardiola then stated that it was not important.
The Manchester City manager said to TNT Sports, “It was a knock.” The fact that I made the substitution made him grumpy with me.
Within the opening fifteen minutes, Real Madrid reversed the early lead that Bernardo Silva had given the visitors with two goals in quick succession.
Foden was happy to leave the Spanish city with a draw, explaining that he was struggling with a “bad dead leg.”
The 23-year-old told TNT Sports, “It must have been one of the best games you could have possibly watched for the fans, two great teams going head to head with possibly the best attackers in the world.” “With lots of goals, that’s what the fans want to see.”
You might score a little too early at times. They rallied with two goals in rapid succession, and we were forced to settle once more. We really got into the game, in my opinion, especially in the second half. I was thrilled to have seized one of my opportunities. Coming here and receiving a draw is an amazing outcome.
