“I’m in love with him. He is exceptional. Even under pressure, he manages to find those passes that allow the midfield to be free.

“He’s not a player for long passes but you can always count on him to build the game.

“We managed to control him better in the second half but in the first half he was really exceptional,” Guardiola said afterwards.
