Pep Guardiola hailed midfield engine Fernandinho, dubbing the Brazilian ‘a joy’ to work with.
Echoing his post-match comments from Saturday’s win over Burnley, the Catalan boss spoke highly once again of the Brazilian in his Shakhtar Donetsk v City press conference.
Ferna would make any manager the happiest or luckiest in the world,” the manager declared.
“Everything is respected – he shows respect. He is open to improvement and he keeps everything.
“He is a joy to have as a player – he is very special. He will always be a special player for me to work alongside.”
Guardiola also shared a squad update and his thoughts on the crucial Champions League clash.
