Rico Lewis has been regarded by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola as one of the best players he has ever worked with.
Lewis was a major contributor to City’s 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
The 18-year-old put up a strong performance as the hosts kept up their successful start to their campaign on the continent.
What a player!,” exclaimed Guardiola, who has previously worked with players like Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta. What a jerk!
“I’ve had the good fortune to coach one of the finest players in the world at Barcelona for 14, 15 years as a manager.
“He is one of the best players I’ve ever trained,” the coach said. “To find a player like him playing in the pockets, how he has to move as a holding midfielder, moving in the spaces.”
