Frank Leboeuf has commented on Josko Gvardiol after he pꦏlayed in RB Leipzig’s 7-0 thrashing at Manchester City💫 last night.

The Cr🐻oatian international is one of the most in-demand young central defenders in world football and shone at the World Cup.

But he and his teammates were on the end of an Erling ♌Haaland masterclass last n🔜ight as the Norwegian scored five goals on the night.

Leboeuf was asked on whether we can still call t🦩he man one of the world’s best young central defensive prospects after such a chastening night.

Leboeuf on Gvardiol

He replied: “Well he sank with his whole teammates. It doesn’t make me thi♐nk he suddenly became bad. He’s a great defender.

“He’s still fantastic, for me. You can have a ꦯbad game, we’ve seen that with📖 all players. I even saw Maldini nowhere near it for one game.

“It can happen to everybody. We all know Gvardiol is a fantastic defender. His whole team conced♏ed seven, he didn’t on his own.

“He didn’t suddenly become a bad defe🥃nder, 𝔍I won’t change my name after a game like that.”

Owen Hargreaves was commentating on the Champions League for  last night and said after the matc🌃h that Gvardiol will go on to be the world’s best central defender.

His asking pric🅷e may well be beyond S🌃purs’ reach, especially if they do not qualify for next season’s Champions League group stage.

But he will be a man in demand despite his experience last night, a♏nd against Lionel Messi in🐻 the World Cup semi-finals.
