"There's no person in this country, no one around the world, that doesn't know his quality and ability, said the manager. But England is so lucky to have a mountain of good players, so in this position, there are a lot, and that's why Phil has to push himself to be better and better and better. He has to say: OK, I'm going to show how good I am.'"
"This season, he's back, yeah, the Catalan said. When Phil is at that level, when playing between the lines, in the pockets, his first contact, his turn, [he is very good] and after his generosity, running and fighting. He's a special player, but we need his goals, definitely, and today he makes, hopefully, the first step to do it [consistently], and before the big, big match on Sunday."
Phil Foden scored twice as Manchester City beat Borussia Dortmund 4-1 in a Champions League group match, with goals on 22 and 57 minutes. Erling Haaland added a first-half finish and Rayan Cherki scored late; Waldemar Anton scored a consolation for Dortmund. City moved to 10 points from four matches and into fourth in the 36-team league phase. Foden was omitted from recent England squads for matches against Wales and Latvia and now faces competition for selection ahead of fixtures against Serbia and Albania in November. City prepare to face Liverpool at the Etihad on Sunday.
