After a hesitant start at Manchester City, Rayan Aït-Nouri appears to have truly found his stride under Pep Guardiola's guidance. The Algerian left-back is now stringing together starts, gradually establishing himself as a key figure in the Skyblues' lineup and confirming the potential that convinced the club to bet on him last summer.

For several weeks now, the former Wolverhampton player has been showing remarkable progress. His performances have won over his manager, Pep Guardiola, who hasn't hidden his satisfaction:

"He's made a lot of progress in recent matches. He understands what we want and what we expect from him. There is no doubt about his quality on the ball."

This positive momentum is also fantastic news for the Algeria national team. With the March international break just days away, where the Fennecs will face Guatemala and Uruguay in Italy, Vladimir Petkovic can count on a confident Aït-Nouri to strengthen the left flank of his squad.
