Pep Guardiola was left shocked after learning Manchester City debutant Micah Hamilton was a ballboy for the club in 2017.
Hamilton scored in what was his first senior appearance as City beat Red Star Belgrade 3-2 to finish the Group stage with six wins from six games.
After the game, Guardiola was shown a photo of himself and Hamilton dating back to 2017, when the youngster was a ballboy at the Etihad stadium.
Hamilton was one of the ball boys that Guardiola instructed to help lift his team’s intensity by ensuring games re-started quicker, but the manager did not seem to remember the youngster’s beginnings.
