Aguero urges Guardiola to play Foden more
Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has told Pep Guardiola to give Phil Foden more game time. The youngster changed the game when he came on as a substitute in the club’s 1-0 first leg Champions League quarter-final win over Atletico on Tuesday.
The No.47 provided the assist for Kevin de Bruyne’s goal and caused trouble in the opposition defence for the final 20 minutes. Aguero has urged Guardiola to play the England international “a little more.”

Jurgen Klopp says Man City are ‘best team in the world’
City face Liverpool in what many are calling a title-decider at the Etihad on Sunday. The two teams are separated by a single point with the winner set to exit the weekend as the league leaders and arguably favourites for the crown.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been speaking about Guardiola’s men ahead of the showdown in three days' time. He hailed City as the planet’s best team but waved away any talk of the game being decisive in the title race.
He said: "If we win against Man City, which is already difficult enough, I think no one would think: 'That's it, it is decided'. That is because of the quality of the opponent.
"We play now against the best team in the world, but we will give it a try anyway.”
