Guardiola throws weight behind England’s Euro 2024 bid
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has thrown his support behind England’s quest for Euro 2024 glory, drawing parallels between their journey and City’s own triumph in the Champions League.
Guardiola, who secured City’s maiden Champions League title last season, believes Gareth Southgate’s side has the potential to overcome past heartbreaks and clinch European glory.
Despite England’s recent near misses in major tournaments, Guardiola remains optimistic about their chances, citing the nation’s fervent passion for football as a driving force. He believes that this time, the weight of expectation could serve as a source of inspiration rather than pressure for the players.
Guardiola highlighted the pivotal role of City forward Phil Foden in England’s campaign, hailing the 23-year-old’s exceptional performances both at club level and on the international stage.
Foden’s meteoric rise through City’s ranks has not gone unnoticed, with his recent accolade as the Football Writers’ Association men’s Player of the Year further cementing his status as one of the brightest talents in the sport.
With Guardiola’s backing and Foden’s burgeoning talent, England enters Euro 2024 with renewed optimism and determination to rewrite their footballing history.
As the tournament draws near, all eyes will be on Southgate’s squad as they aim to emulate City’s success and etch their names in footballing folklore.
