5 underrated players coached by Pep Guardiola

#3. Ilkay Gundogan

Manchester City v Arsenal - Premier League

Ilkay Gundogan is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

The German first came onto the scene with Borussia Dortmund in 2012. After spending four years with the German outfit, Gundogan signed for Manchester City for a reported £20 million.

An extremely intelligent footballer, Gundogan is capable of playing anywhere in midfield. His technical skills are excellent and he is considered by many as one of the best midfielders in the world.

Gundogan has shown his class time and again for Manchester City. His most notable period was last year, when he stepped up in the absence of Kevin de Bruyne and ensured City went on to win the league title. He scored 13 goals and made three assists in 28 appearances in the league.

Gundogan has won three Premier League titles, four EFL Cups and an FA Cup during his time at the club.

#2. Kyle Walker

Manchester City v Southampton FC - Premier League

Kyle Walker is one player who never seems to get the credit he fully deserves.

Signed from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017, Walker has now established himself as a world-class right-back. He is the starting right-back in Guardiola's setup and often features for the English national team as well.

Walker has displayed incredible consistency over the past few seasons. Blessed with blistering pace and great strength, Walker is one of the most reliable defenders in the game.

In just four years with the club, Walker has already won three Premier League titles. He has also won four EFL Cups and an FA Cup to boot.

#1. Pedro

Barcelona v Malaga - La Liga

Pedro takes the cake for being the most underrated player coached by Pep Guardiola.

The Spaniard is one of modern football's most decorated players and has represented several clubs during his career. Since coming through the youth system at Barcelona, Pedro has gone on to represent Chelsea, Roma and now Lazio.

The Spaniard was part of arguably the two strongest teams in modern football history: Barcelona's sextuple-winning team of 2009 as well as the Spanish dream team that won the FIFA World Cup in 2010 and UEFA Euro 2012.

Pedro displays excellent attacking skill on the football pitch. Capable of playing as a forward and as a winger, he is an extremely effective attacker. Pedro won five La Ligas during his time in Spain and also won three UEFA Champions League titles.

Pedro remains the only player in history to have won the Champions League, the Europa League, the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the EUROs and the World Cup during his career. Doubtless one of the most underrated players of this generation.
