Pep Guardiola has expressed confidence in Antoine Semenyo’s ability to handle the pressure of his first title race and Champions League debut.
The Manchester City manager believes Semenyo’s mentality will serve him well in these high-stakes games.
Semenyo, who joined City from Bournemouth in January, has already made an impact, scoring six goals and adapting quickly to Guardiola’s system.
“It’s a good test for him, but I’m pretty sure with his mentality, he will handle it quite well,” Guardiola said ahead of Manchester City v Newcastle.
Guardiola’s praise for Semenyo comes as City face intense competition in the Premier League and Champions League as they eye the quadruple.
With key players returning to fitness, Guardiola is optimistic about City’s chances, citing the team’s resilient spirit and encouraging signs.
Semenyo’s rapid rise at City has been notable, with Guardiola highlighting his ability to think like a top player and exploit spaces.
