Henry emphasized Foden's pivotal role within Pep Guardiola's squad, especially in moments when key players like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are absent or underperforming.
Reflecting on Foden's impact, Henry remarked during the match commentary (via CBS), "What I would say about Phil Foden this year is that when Erling Haaland is not there or Kevin de Bruyne is injured, now he puts this team on his shoulders."
The former Arsenal legend continued, "Now we can start talking world class because when you put your team on your shoulders, this guy is now world class."
With Henry's endorsement and Foden's consistent displays on the pitch, the young English talent is undoubtedly making a significant mark in the footballing world, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with.
