Guardiola praised the 19-year-old prior to the game against the German club.

“I noticed when he was 17 that it wasn’t just the quality – it was the shouting, kicking, going to the referee,” the Spaniard said.

“This guy has the mentality. He is already one of the captains of the team, that is quite impressive. It’s about the whole package. He’s already in the national team. We know the quality he has.”
