Alexander Isak Hails Manchester City Star After Intense Battle
Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak has showered praise on a Manchester City player following their hard-fought Premier League encounter. Despite Newcastle falling to defeat, Isak admitted he was taken aback by the aggression and skill of one particular City star.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, the Swedish striker remarked:
“Throughout my career in the Premier League, I have never played against such a dangerously aggressive player. He really caught us off guard today. Forget the fact that we lost—I really admire him a lot.”
Although Isak did not initially name the player, reports suggest he was referring to Matheus Nunes, City’s dynamic midfielder. Known for his relentless pressing and physicality, Nunes delivered a standout performance, breaking up Newcastle’s attacks and driving City forward.
Nunes Impresses as City Control the Game
Manchester City dominated possession, forcing Newcastle into long spells of deep defending. Isak, one of Newcastle’s key attacking threats this season, found himself frustrated by City’s intensity and pressing game, which left little room for the Magpies to operate.
Isak’s praise underscores Nunes’ growing reputation as a crucial figure in Pep Guardiola’s system. With his blend of aggression, technical skill, and boundless energy, the Portuguese international is proving to be a vital asset—especially in high-intensity matches.
As Newcastle look to bounce back in their next fixture, City continue their charge for another Premier League title. Meanwhile, Isak’s comments further highlight the depth and quality of Guardiola’s squad, where even opposition stars can’t help but admire their talent.
