The English club "Manchester City" has included Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov in the squad for the Champions League knockout stage for the 2024/2025 season, according to ESPN reports.
The club will face Madrid's "Real" for a chance to advance to the Round of 16. The matches are scheduled for February 12 and 20, both taking place at 01:00 Tashkent time.
So far, Khusanov has played only one match – against "Chelsea" in the 23rd round of the Premier League. The Uzbek defender spent just over a half and received a yellow card.
“Abdukodir Khusanov took the field against 'Chelsea' when we had no defenders available. He had a tough five minutes, but after that, he performed well! He should be proud of achieving this at the age of 20,” — stated team captain De Bruyne after the game.
