UCL: Guardiola Appreciates A Man City Athletic

Pep Guardiola

Rico Lewis is one of the best players Pep Guardiola has ever coached, according to the manager of Manchester City.

Lewis was a major contributor to City's 3-1 Champions League victory at RB Leipzig.

As the hosts kept up their winning start to their campaign on the continent, the 18-year-old put on a strong performance.

Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta are just a few of the players Guardiola has previously ccoached.

"I've been a manager for 14, 15 years and lucky to train one of the best players in the world in Barcelona.

"To find a player like him playing in the pockets, how he has to move as a holding midfielder, moving in the spaces, he is one of the best I've ever trained by far."
