Asked if he expected such a moment from Nico, Guardiola  said: ”No, I expect it more from the wingers and strikers but he deserves it.

“He has (had) an incredible season and what a goal.

“He has to believe in himself more that he can do more and not play to be safe.

“That is the mentality he has to play with as a holding midfielder. He is a young guy and can improve a lot."
