Pablo Maffeo could be Manchester City's right-back for the next decade... he's marked Lionel Messi out of a game and is thriving on loan at Girona

A Manchester City right-back for the next ten years. That’s the opinion of those who have followed the progress of Pablo Maffeo this season.

The 20-year-old will be at the Camp Nou with loan club Girona on Saturday night – another box ticked as he completes an elite work experience placement that has already seen him man mark Lionel Messi and get the better of Cristiano Ronaldo.

He drove Messi to distraction when he shadowed him back in September keeping the great man very quiet albeit to no avail because Barcelona still ran out 3-0 winners.
