Manchester City secured a dominant 5-0 victory over Sparta Praha in their latest Champions League match at the Etihad Stadium, with Phil Foden scoring once again. Foden, alongside goals from Erling Haaland, John Stones, and Matheus Nunes, helped City claim the win and move up to third in the League Phase table. Foden’s goal, his second of the season, came after receiving the ball from Manuel Akanji and neatly slotting it into the far corner. The CFA graduate was named Player of the Match, showcasing his return to form after a slow start following his participation in Euro 2024.
Foden’s performance against Sparta Praha demonstrated his potential and quality on the field, as he took charge in the number 10 role with 78 touches, 54 passes completed at an impressive 92% rate, and 8 duels won. With 17 Champions League goals to his name, Foden has even surpassed David Beckham’s tally, highlighting his impact in the competition. City fans are hopeful that his strong showing against Sparta can be a stepping stone towards reaching peak form once again, especially with Kevin De Bruyne facing fitness concerns. Pep Guardiola has expressed confidence in Foden’s imminent return to his best, with supporters eagerly awaiting his continued success in the season ahead.
