Manchester City forward Jack Grealish drives to training in a new Lamborghini which he gifted himself after their treble win.
Pep Guardiola screamed saying, “F------ hell Phil! F------ hell! You haven't done what I said!”
Guardiola's remarks angered Foden, who retaliated against his first-team coach after the game.
Foden said as reported by The Telegraph, “Don't ever do that to me again! You wouldn't do that to other players.”
Guardiola expressed his sincere regret and requested a meeting with the player the following day to do so in front of the team.
The altercation during the Porto game was a sign that Foden had matured as a person, and Guardiola had been waiting for a sign that he was willing to stand up for himself.
The incident allowed the City manager to recognize that Foden was no longer the young child who had graduated from the club's academy and was instead growing into a man.
