One Man City player hasn’t played any part in their run to this season’s semi-finals, and he’s desperate to return to show Guardiola what he’s capable of on the biggest stage.

“It helped me see that one day I should have my place there. I didn’t feel weird in that dressing room. I was surrounded by great footballers.
“I work to achieve something like that. I don’t know if Pep’s the best in the world but he needs to be on the podium. Anybody can see what he’s brought to football.”
