English Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola referred to Henrikh Mkhitaryan, a former member of the Armenian football team, evaluating him as an excellent football player.
"He is an excellent football player. How his absence affected Inter's game, you should ask Simone Inzaghi. Of course, he is an outstanding football player. When I was in Bayern and he was in Dortmund under Thomas Tuchel, his influence on the team was very good.
Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, and now Inter are top clubs. I met him twice in a restaurant in Manchester. I know that he is a wonderful, wonderful person.
He is a high-quality football player. But I can't say anything about the impact of his not participating in the final," he said.
