Manager dedicates victory to City legend and his familyGuardiola praises John Stones for return to formPep Guardiola dedicated Manchester City’s Carabao Cup semi-final win at
Manchester United on Wednesday night to one of his club’s enduring luminaries, Colin Bell, who died on Tuesday at the age of 74.
“It’s an honour to dedicate this victory to Colin Bell and his family,” said City’s manager, wearing a “Legend Bell” T-shirt in tribute to the former
England midfielder as he celebrated leading his team into a fourth successive League Cup final. “He helped to build something special for this club. It’s an incredible victory for us to beat United away and it was for him, absolutely. When Colin Bell has a stand at the Etihad, when his name is the King [of the Kippax], it’s because he was something special.”
