In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the 21-year-old Foden came on as a substitute for two minutes and assisted De Bruyne's goal, which finally helped Manchester City beat Atletico 1-0 at home to take advantage of the promotion.
After a delay in opening the situation, Guardiola replaced three men in one go in the 68th minute, with Foden, Jesus and Glalis replacing Mahrez, Sterling and Gundogan respectively.
In the 70th minute, Foden took the ball with his back to the front of the penalty area, turned and advanced two steps, and finally assisted De Bruyne's goal through the crotch. In just two minutes after Foden's debut, Manchester City's scores against Atletico went from 0-0 to 1-0.
It was the 21-year-old Foden's seventh assist in the Champions League, surpassing Walcott as the second most assisted U22 player in Champions League history, behind Fabregas, who delivered 10 assists.
In addition to wearing crotch straight to send assists, Foden had two other world-class performances in only 22 minutes of playing time, including two atlets on the right side of the front, two atlets and two defenders, and a small swing of the legs on the right side of the front to send a precise instep, which unfortunately failed to create a goal.
Now, City don't have to regret selling Sancho for €8 million that year, as they now have a stronger England international. In the German Transfer Market, the 21-year-old Foden's worth has soared to 90 million euros, an increase of more than 10 times in just 4 years. He has now surpassed Sterling and Glallish to become the most expensive player in Manchester City and second only to Kane in the England squad, ranking 6th in the world.
Foden's value of 90 million euros, which has little to do with the hukou book, is a manifestation of real strength. At his age, he played a quasi-double-double of 11 goals and 9 assists in a single season, 90 million euros is not too much, and Sancho has 5 goals and 3 assists this season and is worth 80 million euros.
The rise of Foden, Guardiola is indispensable, even the happy boy Sterling can play under him as "Lionel Messi", which shows how strong his ability to adjust is. Of course, the Manchester City hierarchy also did a good job, letting go of Sane and Ferran Torres made them a lot of money, and just by the way to correct Foden, which is a double win.
