‘Foden kissing Pep is literally everything’ – Man City fans touched by Phil Foden’s celebration with Pep Guardiola

Manchester City fans were touched to see Phil Foden’s celebration after netting a crucial goal against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

With 15 minutes left, Foden fired City into a 2-1 lead against Dortmund in the second leg, giving them a 4-2 lead in aggregate that secured a place in the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since Pep Guardiola took over at the club in 2016.

The goal was enough to secure City’s passage to the semi-finals and sparked pandemonium among the squad, with ecstatic Foden charged over to hug his manager before being mobbed in the dugout following his 75th-minute winner at the Westfalenstadion.

That came after 17-year-old England starlet Jude Bellingham had handed the hosts a shock lead after just 15 minutes, before a penalty from Riyad Mahrez shifted the initiative back to the visitors.

It was a moment that City fans were delighted by.

After falling at the quarter-final stages in the past, it represented a big step forward in City’s quest to win the Champions League.

City will now face Mauricio Pochettino’s Paris Saint-Germain in the last four.
