Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina has admitted that despite his team’s impressive victory over Manchester City, one particular City player made his job extremely difficult on the pitch.
Speaking after the match, Aina praised the unnamed City star for his unexpected performance, revealing that he had underestimated the challenge before kickoff.
“I Wasn’t Expecting That Performance”
“Forget the fact that we won, this particular City player really gave me a tough time,” Aina admitted. “To my greatest surprise, I wasn’t expecting that performance from him.”
While Aina did not immediately mention the player’s name, many speculate he was referring to a City attacker who constantly pressured Nottingham Forest’s defense despite the defeat.
City’s Silver Lining?
Despite the disappointing loss for Manchester City, Aina’s comments suggest that at least one player stood out with a strong performance, showing resilience and quality even in defeat.
This could be a positive takeaway for Pep Guardiola, who will be looking for his team to bounce back quickly in the title race.
Aina and Forest’s Growing Confidence
For Nottingham Forest, the victory is a huge statement, proving they can compete with the best in the Premier League. With players like Aina stepping up and recognizing the talent they face, it shows just how much confidence is growing within the squad.
The focus now shifts to whether Manchester City can recover and how this particular player—who caught Aina’s attention—will continue to develop under Guardiola.
