Pep Guardiola says he is proud of the way City have recognised the incredible contributions of Colin Bell, Francis Lee, and Mike Summerbee.

The stunning bronze statue, created by renowned sculptor David Williams-Ellis, was unveiled at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday morning ahead of our Champions League clash with RB Leipzig.

And Guardiola believes the three City legends couldn’t have been given a more deserving tribute.

“Again, it shows how good this club is,” said Pep.

“The history and what they did – three legendary, unbelievable persons.

“I think Mike Summerbee will be there and he will be incredibly satisfied for the recognition – not just for him, but for Colin Bell and Francis Lee.

“It will be perfect for all the families and is an incredible and well-deserved tribute.

“We are fortunate to do it for them.”
