Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola praised the clubs academy after teenager Rico Lewis grabbed the headlines in Wednesdays come-from-behind 3-1 Champions ...

"We are happy with the performance in the group stage. The second half was much better and we managed to do it." Especially today for example with players who usually play less minutes. "We saw the reception from our crowd. "It's good for my confidence. "The guys who want to stay here and fight for a position have a chance.

Rico Lewis became Manchester Citys youngest Champions League goalscorer as Pep Guardiolas side came from behind to beat Sevilla 3-1 in their final group ...

When the visitors failed to clear, Alvarez played the teenager in on goal and he finished like a veteran with a firm shot past Bounou. Erling Haaland again was not risked due to injury and Kevin De Bruyne was among the players benched as Guardiola made seven changes, but the side fielded was still packed with senior internationals. There had been nothing riding on the game with City already confirmed as Group G winners and Sevilla heading to the Europa League from third place.

Rico Lewis scored on his full Manchester City debut on Wednesday, adding to his growing reputation in the eyes of his manager.

He has come off the bench against [Nottingham Forest](https://theathletic.com/football/team/nottingham-forest/) and [Southampton](https://theathletic.com/football/team/southampton/) since then, as well as Copenhagen. “He’s a guy who has the idea to be better. [Premier League](https://theathletic.com/football/premier-league/) start is probably some way off yet, but Lewis wasn’t given this one lightly. On that day, Lewis started at right-back but tucked inside into midfield, just like his more senior team-mates have to do. “First half he was more inside, second half wider. Guardiola is animated with everybody, but this was something else. And the youngsters certainly aren’t spoon-fed. “The good players you realise in two minutes,” Guardiola said on Wednesday, reflecting on his initial feeling. “We don’t give presents here,” Guardiola often says, and did again on this occasion. The Catalan has been genuinely impressed since he first laid eyes on him. After a game like that, there is bound to be a buzz now — and there’s a good story to go with it. The Frenchman is twice that age now.

Lewis' first City goal has come at a younger age than Foden's, who had to wait until he was 18. Guardiola simply doesn't just hand first-team spots away, so Lewis would have known he'd earned it. Born in nearby Bury, Lewis has been with City since he was eight, so this would have been a proud night for his family even without the added ingredient of a goal.

Let’s here it in the comments. Sevilla - The Sevillistas are headed down to the Europa League once more. City have just three remaining fixtures before the World Cup puts a halt to the club season. He also set the record for youngest player ever to score on his full debut in the UCL. His full first-team debut, in the Champions League, and he scored the goal that sparked the comeback. Let’s have a look at what storylines are trending up and trending down after the big win at the Etihad.

Manchester City host Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as Pep Guardiola's men aim to go back to the top of the Premier League table.

Dan James is likely to start in his place. Fulham suffered a big injury blow in midweek as winger Neeskens Kebano ruptured his Achilles in training and is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Kevin de Bruyne continues to dazzle, as his spectacular free kick at Leicester last week proved, while Rodri is dominating games in midfield and Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo have been imperious defensively. Manuel Akanji has a knock and is a doubt. So will Fulham, as Silva has done a remarkable job and they are almost halfway to the magic 40 point mark. Manchester City are clicking through the gears ominously and even with some injuries cropping up the squad they have assembled is so deep.

Manchester City are delighted to announce that former goalkeeper Karen Bardsley has returned to the Club as Project Officer.

“It’s all so new, but hugely exciting. In football, you need to put yourself in environments that you’re not used to, to develop yourself and learn, and I will absolutely get that here, all whilst working to make a difference for the team in a variety of areas. “I feel like it’s so important to consider career pathways for retired professionals and getting people to understand that there is a life after retirement, so to have this opportunity in an environment that I’m so passionate about is amazing.

Fulham have prepared to face Manchester City assuming that in-form striker Erling Haaland will be fit to play, according to boss Marco Silva.

"It is unfair for me to compare," Silva added. "Of course, Haaland is a key player for them. [Silva](https://www.planetsport.com/soccer/marco-silva) has been preparing his Fulham players to go up against the 22-year-old, and said: "(He is) a top, top striker.
