Phil Foden rise to glory at Man City

Phil Foden is trendy. And no wonder. The Manchester City player broke the mould and stole the show in the Manchester derby. When his team needed him the most, the No. 47 carried it off on his back. And if that wasn't enough, BeSoccer Pro confirms that the English talent broke his record of goals in a season with the Sky Blues. It is no longer 16 in 2020-21, but 18 this season. The great turning point of his career, against the Red Devils.
2 goals of great beauty with which he exploited all his potential. He has already created 27 goals this season, not forgetting the assists, accumulating 9 at this stage of the season. A step forward with which Pep Guardiola's side remain one point behind Liverpool, who are still on top of the Premier League. They are also in an unbeatable momentum ahead of the Champions League, where they will host Copenhagen on Wednesday in the second leg of the round of 16 with a 1-3 lead from the first leg.
In his 7th season at Manchester City, Phil Foden is performing brilliantly at the age of just 23. Surprisingly, at such a young age, he has already made 257 official appearances, since making his debut in the top continental competition on 21st November 2017 against Feyenoord at the Etihad Stadium on matchday 5 of the group stage. He replaced Yaya Toure in that fixture. The statistics reflect an upward trend with its ups and downs between 2021 and 2023.

Focusing on the matter at hand, he won the Manchester derby, equalling his magical 2020-21. That campaign in which he produced 16 goals and 11 assists. Despite seeing the Champions League title snatched from him by Chelsea in Porto, he contributed to the Premier League glory. He also won the EFL Cup against Tottenham. 27 goals generated and far superior to the past record. 1 in 2017-18 (0+1), 9 in 2018-19 (7+2) and 17 in 2019-20 (8+9).
Such was his standard that he slowed down his rise to glory with 25 goals created in 2021-22 (14+11) and "only" 22 in the last season (15+7). On 3rd March and with the sweet memory of the win against the Red Devils, it seems that he will not only break his record, but will also be an indispensable part of Pep Guardiola's project. Liverpool will be a tough nut to crack in the race for the Premier League, but the reigning European champions are always a contender for everything.
Phil Foden breaks his own record by scoring his 18th goal this season. In his full CV with the Sky Blues, 78+50. Due to his maturity, adaptation to the top flight, or the attribution of credentials, the No. 47 is the wonder kid at the Etihad Stadium who saved the day in the battle for the pride of his city. He is over 250 formal appearances for Manchester City and will be just 24 years old on 28th May. He has a treasure at home who will lead the present and future generation of English football.
