What Pep Guardiola has done with Rico Lewis this season shows Man City faith despite critics

Rico Lewis hit a significant milestone when Manchester City kicked off against Wolves. The 19-year-old became the first teenager to make 25 league starts under Pep Guardiola, which is quite an achievement when you consider the young talent the manager has had at City, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

Kingsley Coman is second on that list with 20, with Bojan Krkic in third on 16 and former City defender Eric Garcia on 10. Lewis only turns 20 towards the end of November, so has another three games to stretch his lead.

Given where Guardiola is in his career, that record may never be broken.

Erling Haaland achieved it at the end of the first half and Josko Gvardiol and Ederson would manage it before the game was out.
