He has since worked with City boss Pep Guardiola for many years, while learning from the likes of Xavi Hernandez at Barcelona.
Gundogan told ESPN: “Before I joined Man City I thought ‘I know football’. I was 25, 26 years old so I thought I’ve seen a lot, I’ve won league titles, cup titles.
“But now, standing here after seven years of Pep’s school, I probably would say I didn’t know anything about football before. His influence, not just on the team, also on me personally, was just immense.
“The aspects, the little details of the game that he has taught me and showed to us I think is very special.”
