Although it was impossible to help Man City avoid defeat at Al Hilal, Phil Foden was also somewhat comforted with the finish that hit the opponent's net. This goal marked the event that he had 100 goals for Man City.
At the competition with representatives from Asia, Foden did not come on the field from the beginning but until the extra time, he could give Rodri. Just a few minutes after appearing, Foden welcomed Cherk's pass and finish the net of Al Hilal.
Unfortunately, Foden's 3-3 equalizer was still not enough for Man City to continue, because after goalkeeper Ederson had to go to the net to pick the ball for the fourth time. For Foden personally, he became the 20th player of Man City to conquer the milestone to score 100 goals for The Citizens. Before Foden, the nearest person did this was striker Erling Haaland.
In order to get 100 goals for Man City, Foden played 319 matches for half of Manchester, which was the team to help him start a business. Among them were 61 goals in the Premie League, 18 goals in the Champions League, 12 goals in the FA Cup, 5 goals in the British League Cup and 4 goals in the FIFA Club World Cup.
It is known that the first goal Foden scored for Man City was to the Oxford United net, in the match taking place in September 2018. Next, he also “shooting” 5 more times in the Cup tournament, before “opening the account” goal in the Premier League in April 2019.
In the 2018/19, 2019/2, 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23, Foden's goals reached 7, 8, 16, 14 and 15 respectively. According to statistics, Foden's most “lucky” season is the 2023/24 season, when he scored 27 goals in every playground and helped Man City win the 4th consecutive Premier League. It was the season where Foden was elected as the best player of Man City and the Premier League.
However, after the April 2023/24 season, Foden suddenly decided. The result was that he was no longer as respected as before. In the context of Foden is only a secondary choice in Man City's tactical system, he desperately needs the same goals to regain confidence from coach Guardiola.
17
At the age of 25, Foden owns a very massive title, with a total of 17 large and small trophies won with Man City. Calculated, his number of titles is only two units less than Kevin De Bruyne, the new Belgian star leaving Etihad is holding the record for the number that steps on the podium with Man City.
