Guardiola praises Nicolas Pepe during the Champions League match

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola assessed Villarreal player Nicolas Pepe's performance. Pepe started in yesterday's Champions League match, but his team lost 0-2 to Manchester City.

Guardiola recalled in his opinion that Pepe had previously played for Arsenal and called him a good player. He believes Arsenal paid a large sum of money for Pepe is justified. Guardiola emphasized that Pepe is dangerous on the opponent's court and has an advantage in one-on-one situations.

However, this time, Manchester City's defenders - Guardiol, Bernardo Silva, and Doku - played well against him. For information, Arsenal paid Lille €80 million for Pepe in 2019.

However, Pepe failed to establish himself in England and moved to Trabzonspor as a free agent in 2023. In the future, he is trying to prove himself at Villarreal.
