Alexander Isak Praises Manchester City Star After Tough Encounter

Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak has heaped praise on a Manchester City player after their intense Premier League clash. Despite Newcastle suffering a defeat, Isak admitted he was taken aback by the level of aggression and skill displayed by one particular City star.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, the Swedish striker stated:

“Throughout my career in the Premier League, I have never once played against such a dangerously aggressive player. He really caught us unaware today. Forget the fact that we lost, but I really admire him a lot.”

While Isak did not initially mention the player’s name, reports suggest he was referring to City’s dynamic midfielder, Matheus Nunes. The Portuguese international, known for his relentless pressing and physicality, put in a standout performance, disrupting Newcastle’s rhythm and driving City forward.

Manchester City dominated possession throughout the match, forcing Newcastle to defend deep for long spells. Isak, who has been one of Newcastle’s standout performers this season, found himself frustrated by City’s intensity and pressing game.

His comments reflect the growing reputation of Nunes, who has been steadily proving his worth in Pep Guardiola’s system. With his blend of aggression, technique, and energy, he is becoming an essential part of City’s midfield, especially in high-intensity games.

Newcastle will now regroup as they look ahead to their next fixture, while Manchester City continue their push for another Premier League title. Meanwhile, Isak’s remarks further highlight the quality and depth in Guardiola’s squad, where even opposition stars can’t help but admire their talent.
