"Man City” manager Josep Guardiola was pleased with midfielder Ilkay Gundogan's performance in the Champions League match in Slovakia.

The 33-year-old German contributed to the club's victory against Bratislava’s "Slovan” team with a goal.

According to the "city” coach, the player quickly rehabilitated after a weak performance in England against "Newcastle” (1:1).

"Yes, today he played as we are used to seeing him. I. Gundogan has a strong character, and the match against "Newcastle” was really unsuccessful for him; I would say it was the worst performance by a midfielder I have seen in the last 8–9 years.

It depends on the rhythm, which is why he needs to play matches. In his position, Ilkay demonstrates intelligence, and despite scoring a goal in Slovakia, he had a fantastic match,” assured J. Guardiola.
