Man City star Phil Foden has revealed the modest sum he pays for his haircut after scoring in the club’s 3-1 win over FC Copenhagen – before leaving TNT pundits in stitches by goading Micah Richards over his trips to the barber. 

Foden scored Man City’s third and final goal to wrap up a confident first leg win in the Champions League last-16 to cap off a superb display, and was in a good mood as he spoke to the broadcaster after the game. 

The 23-year-old has become a key figure under Pep Guardiola this season, scoring 14 times and providing 10 assists at the Etihad to lead their hopes of another big trophy haul, while also giving himself a huge chance of making England’s starting XI at Euro 2024 this summer. 

‘Before you go, who is your barber because your trim is looking quite fresh I’m not gonna lie,’ Richards asked the player.

Foden then responded: ‘I’ve heard you pay a lot for your trim,’ leaving Richards and fellow pundits Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry in stitches. 

Richards revealed the eyewatering sum he spends on a haircut last year – claiming he spends around £600 a week on three separate trips to the barber.

Presenter Kate Abdo then pressed Foden on how much he splashes out, with the England international answer shocking the studio. 

‘£20 from the local he said. ‘I swear. I sort him out sometimes but I’ve been to the same barber since the age of eight.’

During a Champions League night last year, Richards explained his baffling expenditure on a trim.

‘What does my barber cost? £200 a time yes. When I say the most, like I’ll get a trim tomorrow for the Champions League and I’m working the weekend so I’ll get a trim.

Richards revealed last year that he usually spends £200 on a haircut three times a week

‘I did it today. I’ve got to get a sharpen up tomorrow.’

Abdo then went on to explain that three haircuts a week at that price equates to over £31,000 a year though Richards insisted it was only during punditry weeks.

Foden was speaking to the punditry team about his sparkling form that has seen him score five goals in the last three games.

Quizzed on whether he had ever felt more vital, Foden told TNT Sports: ‘I don’t think so. It’s the most run of games I’ve probably had in a City shirt.

‘When you’re playing every game I think you can get a lot of rhythm. I’m feeling good this year and I’m helping the team the best I can.’ 

Foden believes the key to his impressive performances lies in his consistent run of starts rather than Guardiola’s tactical decision to field him in central positions. 

An-in form Phil Foden has revealed he has never felt more important for Manchester City

Foden – who scored for City in their 3-1 win at Copenhagen – credited his uplift in form to his increased game time

‘Like I said, when you get a run of games you find your feet and start getting connections with other players,’ he added.

‘I first started playing in the pocket but today I played wide and did an alright job.’

Foden has typically played on the flanks or the No 10 position since making his breakthrough at City but feels more comfortable dictating play as the fulcrum.

‘I just feel alive,’ Foden explained. ‘I feel like I’m always involved in the game. 

‘You can get into the game as well, I feel. You can get the ball, play a decent few passes and build your confidence. Out wide you have to wait for the ball.’

City have been tipped to lift the Champions League for a second straight year and have all but reached the last-eight ahead of their home leg against Copenhagen.

Kevin De Bruyne tucked home a superb opener but City were pegged back after Ederson’s poor attempted pass allowed Magnus Mattsson to bend in an equaliser.

Bernardo Silva capitalised on a deflection to fire City back in front on the stroke of half-time, however, before Foden made sure of the result seconds from time.
