Man City boss Guardiola urges Foden to do talking on the pitch

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has hailed the form of Phil Foden.

Foden scored winning goals in both Champions League quarter-final legs against Borussia Dortmund and has kept his place in City's best XI for the biggest matches this month.

"It's not about what we believe in the past - it's what they show on the grass," Guardiola said. "Footballers have to show every day. In football it's the present, it doesn't matter what we've done.

"Today everyone is involved, talking on social media. The only way they can go is to do it on the grass. Everything we get is on the grass.

"Not any other situations. He'll carry on being there depending on his performance. Every game you have to win something to stay in this team."
