If Phil Foden posed all smiles with the man of the match trophy awarded by UEFA this Wednesday evening after Manchester City's victory against FC Bruges (4-1, 4th day of the Champions League), it is is another player who caught the eye of the English press. This player is João Cancelo. The Guardian, the Times, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph give it the best rating, between 7.5 and 8/10.

There is something. The Portuguese side, installed on the left Wednesday night, has indeed distilled three assists against the champions of Belgium: one for Phil Foden, one for Riyad Mahrez and one for Gabriel Jesus. An XXL performance more seen in C1 since October 2019 with the Parisian Angel Di Maria, against Bruges already (5-0). Pep Guardiola obviously praised him.
