📢 Guardiola on De Bruyne: "...it’s good, really good. I cannot say [if he will be available for #UCL first leg on February 24, before #DGW26].

"What’s important is, day by day, he is feeling very good."

📢 Guardiola on Phil Foden: "For me, no [it’s not a challenge], it will be for him. He has to be calm, to understand the tough periods will come.

"It depends on his humility and love for the game. The expectations are there..."

📢 Guardiola on Foden: "...we will see if he can handle it.

"Now the people expect [him] every game to do exceptional things. This is the most difficult thing. Arrive and being there, playing 100 games is difficult..."

📢 Guardiola on Foden: "...but it’s important to do 100 more at this level. This is the toughest one. This is why the greatest players isn't about one big action at Anfield, it’s playing for five years in a row playing consistently..."

📢 Guardiola on Foden: "...this is the next target for Phil - maintain this and play as high as possible as long as possible.

"It depends absolutely on him. Hopefully he can do it. I said to him 'don't read much, don't listen much..."

📢 Guardiola on Foden: "...keep your feet on the grass and keep going'.

"I know Phil is ready to play because his physical condition is extraordinary."
