Held to a 2-2 draw by Lyon on Tuesday night, Manchester City partly had Aymeric Laporte to thank for the point in their penultimate Champions League group stage game.
Scoring to make it 1-1, the defender bagged his second goal of the European campaign this season, and he’ll have had extra reason to celebrate since his younger brother was in the stands.
The 14-year-old was invited by his elder sibling to assist the game since it was in France, and there’s a good chance Léo Laporte will follow in the Manchester City centre-back’s footsteps going forward.
According to Sud-Ouest in France, the striker is scoring goal after goal for SU Agen Football, the same club where Aymeric started his career in France.
Notching four against Nérac last Saturday, Laporte Jr. is said to have impressed the Athletic Bilbao scout in attendance, who is expected to return this weekend to supervise him once more.]
However, the Basque side aren’t the only ones, as Lyon and Saint-Etienne in France are also keeping tabs on Aymeric’s younger brother.
Sud Ouest do also mention there was another reason behind the invitation, and that was for the Manchester City player to Introduce his sibling to the rest of his teammates.
We wonder if he didn’t also put in a good word to Pep Guardiola in the process.
