Man City boss Guardiola hails Feyenoord fans: Dutch football will fight back

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Feyenoord's home fans after last night's Champions League win.

It was Guardiola's first competitive experience of the De Kuip and he was aware of the fans' tribute to their goalkeeper Brad Jones on the six-year anniversary of the passing of his son.

"Very nice what the supporters did for Brad Jones," said Guardiola, who attended the game against VVV which marked the anniversary. "I wish Feyenoord the very best for the future."

He continued: "For the first time in a long time, Feyenoord is back in the Champions League and that is not easy, but I am convinced that Feyenoord and the other Dutch clubs will come back.

"I have every confidence in Dutch football."
