Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Phil Foden has to fight for his place every game.

Guardiola was asked about comparisons between PSG ace Kylian Mbappe and Foden.

He said: "Both are young incredible talents with incredible skills, but it is difficult to compare players in different positions. I am sure that PSG are happy to have Mbappe, and you cannot imagine how happy we are to have Phil.

"I don't give presents to players. They don't play because they are a Manchester City player. He plays because he is at a good level."

City meet PSG in the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal tomorrow night.

Guardiola continued: "We know we are going to suffer in both games and they are going to have chances. Everyone knows the quality they have. But in the semi-finals of the Champions League, what do you expect?

"But at the same time are we going to spend 90 minutes thinking about this player or that player? You have to enjoy the pressure and the situation."
