It Took Just 80 Seconds For Phil Foden To Break Down Atletico's Defence, Bags Stunning Assist
Phil Foden took just 80 seconds to make an impact for Manchester City against Atletico Madrid, creating a brilliant goal for Kevin De Bruyne.
Foden entered the fray in the 68th minute with the game goalless, and wasted no time to make an instant impression.
Rodri played the ball into the feet of the England international, who took a couple of touches to create an opening.
After facing the goal, the 21-year-old pierced a delightful ball to De Bruyne who slotted home to break the deadlock.
All Man City needed was Phil Foden on the pitch 😅

Brilliant from @PhilFoden. Clinical finish from @DeBruyneKev. Not a bad substitution from Pep.
