A lots of Manchester City Fans have gone wild to seeing Phil Foden make the 30-man Ballon d’Or list after his mightily impressive 2020/2021 campaign.
The 21-year-old enjoyed his most stellar season to date under manager Pep Guardiola and was lauded by the Spaniard as a ‘dynamic’ and a player who ‘never hides’ (mancity.com).
The list, officially unveiled yesterday, includes an impressive five players from the European Champions with five Man City first-team stars nominated for the 2021 edition of the Ballon d’Or.
As per France Football’s announcement on Friday, Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling were named within the final 30 nominees for the 2021 Ballon d’Or award alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
After a season of major domestic success, in the form of a third Premier League title in four seasons and a fourth consecutive Carabao Cup title, it comes as no surprise to see several of Pep Guardiola’s squad nominated for high-profile awards.
The inclusion of Phil Foden, who is one of the greatest talents to have come off of City’s production line in recent years, has left many fans absolutely overjoyed for their star academy product.
Here is some of the best reaction on social media from Man City fans.
