After Endgame, Foden’s name was the third most talked about term in the world on Twitter, second in the UK and fourth in Brazil. See some comments from the English on social networks.
One netizen wrote: “You know how crazy it is that the greatest coach of all time (Guardiola, City manager) picks Foden every week, but the former Middlesbrough player (Southgate) doesn’t pick him, audacity.”

– Phil Foden not getting on the field today was a joke – he shared another English profile.
– I recommend Phil Foden to take the next trip home and rest with Erling Haaland (Norwegian Manchester City striker), – commented a fan of the team coached by Guardiola.
