​Man City boss Guardiola heaps praise on Lyon duo Ndombele & Aouar

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola only had praise for Lyon duo Houssem Aouar and Tanguy Ndombele.

The youngsters, who are only 20 and 21, were impressive as City were kept to a 2-2 draw in France.

Ndombele showed why the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and City are interested in acquiring his signature.

"Houssem Aouar is a very good player, he is incredible," Guardiola told reporters after the game.

"We talk a lot about Ndombele, but Aouar is also excellent. He's always very calm with the ball at his feet, with an excellent technical quality.

"Lyon really has a very good team. There are young people full of quality and I think the team is in place tactically, I think we can congratulate them, we have had absences tonight, but we have to congratulate them!"
