Phil Foden has reportedly ignited major controversy after a bold and dismissive comment aimed directly at Chelsea. The Manchester City star is said to have claimed that *“Chelsea is now just a fading shadow — it will never reach the legendary heights of Manchester City.”*
Those words instantly sent shockwaves through the football world, creating a tense and charged atmosphere among players and fans alike.
Witnesses describe the moment as electric — all eyes turned to see if anyone from Chelsea would respond. Then, captain Reece James calmly stepped forward, confronting Foden with a composed but deadly aura.
According to reports, James needed only nine cutting, ice-cold words to silence the England teammate and City midfielder on the spot.
The tension between both clubs, already intense due to their recent battles for Premier League dominance, has now reached a new level.
