Freddie Ljungberg praised Manchester City’s performance in their 3-1 win over Manchester United, extending their unbeaten streak to 19 games. Despite an early lead from Marcus Rashford, City fought back with a stunning brace from Phil Foden and a late goal from Erling Haaland. This victory kept the pressure on league leaders Liverpool.
Foden’s outstanding performance earned him praise from many, including Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg, who went as far as to compare Foden to Lionel Messi. Ljungberg highlighted Foden’s incredible left foot and versatility on the field, describing him as a top player.
At just 23 years old, Foden has already gained six years of first-team experience and continues to impress with each game. This season, he has surpassed his previous goal contribution tally and is becoming more integral to Guardiola’s tactics. While it’s hard to predict if anyone will ever reach Messi’s level, Foden’s determination to improve and succeed is clear.
Foden’s skill and potential have led to comparisons with Messi in the past, and his development suggests that he could continue to be likened to the Argentine legend in the future. With a successful track record and a bright future ahead, Foden’s growth as a player is something to watch closely as he aims to reach the pinnacle of the game.
