'Pep killed me and my self-confidence': RB Leipzig star Angelino takes a huge swipe at Guardiola as he claims Man City boss 'judged me after just two games' and compares him unfavourably to Julian Nagelsmann

Former Manchester City wingback Angelino says life under Pep Guardiola 'killed him' and shattered his self-confidence.

The 24-year-old Spaniard spent seven-and-a-half years with City, which included four loan moves and only 15 first-team appearances.

In 2018, Angelino was sold to PSV Eindhoven, only for Guardiola to buy him back a year later. Then, after six more difficult months in England, he was shipped off to RB Leipzig on loan before the deal was made permanent earlier this month.

Angelino says Guardiola didn't trust him and judged him on only a couple of pre-season games.
