Phil Foden calls out Kylian Mbappe after scoring Man City winner against Borussia Dortmund

Phil Foden has called out Kylian Mbappe on Twitter after sending Man City through to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Foden's 75th-minute strike sparked wild celebrations and earned City a 2-1 win in Germany to advance through to the semi-finals 4-2 on aggregate.

City will face PSG in the semi-final after the French side overcame Bayern Munich in their own quarter-finals - and Foden has wasted no time in laying down the gauntlet to the opposition.

Minutes after the final whistle, Foden tweeted a picture of himself scoring and tagged in Mbappe.

"Are you ready," he said to the French attacker, followed by a handshake emoji.

The game will be an eagerly-anticipated tie, with last season's beaten finalists PSG gaining revenge on Bayern, who beat them to claim the trophy.

With the likes of Foden and Kevin de Bruyne on one side and Mbappe and Neymar on the other, there will be an array of attacking talent on show for the game.

Yet City boss Pep Guardiola says he wants to enjoy his side's victory over Dortmund before looking ahead to facing PSG.

Speaking on BT Sport, Guardiola said the tie will naturally be a tough one but that City need time to celebrate their achievement of making the semi-finals before focussing on PSG.

He said: "It's the semi-final of the Champions League so we can't expect anything other than a tough game.

"For the second time in our history we are there with the real elite of Europe.

"We'll have time to think about it but for now I don't want to think one second about PSG, I want to celebrate."
