Nico González surprises Brazilian journalist in Portuguese after City win: “I played for FC Porto” | OneFootball

Speaking fluent Portuguese, former FC Porto midfielder Nico González praised Manchester City’s victory over Real Madrid (2-1) in the Champions League. “It’s something that few teams manage to do,” he noted.

In a conversation with a Brazilian journalist from TNT Sports, who was surprised by the Spanish international’s fluency in Portuguese—“I played for FC Porto,” the player explained—Nico said he was “very happy and tired” after a “very important match” for City.

“We had lost the last game in the Champions League and it was important (to win in Madrid) to stay among the top eight (in the regular phase). Last season, we saw that this is very important. That’s why we’re very happy,” said the 23-year-old midfielder.

Manchester City came from behind at the Bernabéu and won 2-1, climbing to fourth place in the regular phase standings of the Champions League, with 13 points, the same as PSG and Atalanta. As for the Merengues, they remain in seventh place, with 12 points.
