Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan scores their third goal against Tottenham Hotspur during their Premier League match at Etihad Stadium, Manchester, February 13, 2021. — Pool pic via ReutersLONDON, Feb 23 — Ilkay Gundogan’s free-scoring form has played a major role in Manchester City surging 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League as they close in on a third title in four seasons.
Despite six major trophies in the past five years and the likelihood of more to come this season with City also going strong in both domestic cup competitions, the Champions League has been a constant source of frustration for Guardiola.On the back of an 18-game winning run in all competitions, not for the first time the Premier League leaders find themselves tagged as Champions League favourites.
Gundogan’s game is about much more than goals. A metronomic midfielder who rarely gives the ball away, he fits the profile as the type of player Guardiola loves. “When you are smart and experience comes into play as well, then it’s another jump in your performance level. I’m not surprised at all.” Now 30 and with Silva departed and Fernandinho playing a bit-part role at 35, Gundogan is one of City’s leaders.
