£169m Manchester City player has now done something that no other footballer around has managed to do.
The figure was made public on Manchester City’s official website following their 5-0 FA Cup victory over Huddersfield on Sunday.
Phil Foden sets FA Cup record.
The England international deserves a round of applause for this outstanding accomplishment. According to the official Manchester City website, following his brace against Huddersfield, Foden is the only player to score in each of the previous six seasons’ tournament proper (first round onward).
Considering that the alumnus of the City Football Academy is only 23 years old, that is an incredible record. Despite being only eighteen when he made his FA Cup debut in January of 2019, Foden has scored in every FA Cup that has been played.
Manchester City did not mention whether other players throughout history have matched Foden’s feat. Nevertheless, the man rated at €195.8m (£169m) by the CIES Football Observatory is confirmed as the only active footballer to have achieved the impressive accomplishment.
Phil Foden stepping up for Manchester City
It has been a difficult winter for Guardiola as the Spaniard found himself without Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku for key clashes, including the FIFA Club World Cup – Kevin De Bruyne was also absent. However, Foden has truly stepped up – thriving in a central role.
The England international scored a game-winning goal to help Manchester City overcame a 3-1 deficit against Everton. He also played a key role in the team’s 4-0 triumph over Fluminense in the FIFA Club World Cup final. This season, Foden has made 30 appearances and scored 11 goals with eight assists, which is an incredible return. May it last for a very long time.
