Bacary Sagna knows all about what it takes to be a top-level full-back in the Premier League.
In his playing career, the Frenchman racked up 267 combined top-flight appearances for Manchester City and Arsenal.
Having played with and against a wide range of other big-name full-backs throughout his time as a Premier League player, the 41-year-old certainly has the knowledge and experience to recognise a top defender when he sees one.
In fact, Sagna has now made a claim regarding two of the most popular full-backs the Premier League has seen, one of which is currently a part of Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad Stadium.
Bacary Sagna picks Patrice Evra over Kyle Walker
Appearing in a recent video shared on the Daily Mail Sport TikTok channel, Sagna was doing a winner-stays-on challenge involving numerous past and present full-backs.
When asked to pick between Patrice Evra and Kyle Walker, Sagna chose the former Manchester United left-back over the current City captain.
Walker vs Evra
During his eight-and-a-half-year spell at Old Trafford between January 2006 and July 2014, Evra made 379 appearances across all competitions, scoring 10 goals, delivering 33 assists and winning five Premier League titles.
In comparison, with seven years under his belt at City, Walker has won six Premier League trophies in 301 appearances across all competitions, bagging six goals and providing 23 assists along the way.
Having captained the Blues to a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title last season, there’s no doubt that the Englishman is one of the most significant full-backs the top flight has seen.
In fact, former United player Ashley Young said back in May that the 34-year-old is one of the best full-backs in Premier League history.
While Evra also had a successful period in England, we feel that not many City supporters would agree with Sagna’s pick.
