Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola shared his thoughts on goalscorer Rayan Cherki after the match: “His shot from near the 18-yard box was exceptional. The goal was so impressive that even someone with vision impairment could appreciate it. You don’t need to be a journalist or a manager to recognize his talent.”
“I’ve witnessed similar goals from players like Phil [Foden] and Kevin [De Bruyne] in the past, so I’m pleased it helped us take control of the game.”
