The blockbuster quarter-final of the Champions League brought great emotions until the very end. The first match between Real Madrid and Manchester City ended with the score 3-3, and in the rematch at the Etihad Stadium the score was 1-1, which ultimately led to a series of penalty kicks. The players from Madrid turned out to be better in this case, and the fans of the English team found a surprising culprit.

This is the one to blame for Manchester City’s defeat against Real Madrid. This is what fans indicate
Just before the penalty shootout began, the referees had an unusual problem because there was not a single ball on the pitch. Ultimately, they managed to find one piece and it was to be used for the entire decisive series. This did not distract Julian Alvarez, who scored confidently.
After that, Luka Modric had problems as he didn’t take advantage of his chance and City was leading 1-0 after the first set. The angry Croatian kicked the only ball into the local team’s supporters’ stand. They didn’t want to give up the ball that Bernardo Silva was waiting for for a long time. The concerned Portuguese had to stand his ground to finally be able to strike. His shot after a long wait turned out to be disastrous. The 29-year-old aimed… right in the middle of the goal, and Andriy Lunin had no problems catching the ball.
According to fans, this long wait was the reason why Silva’s shot was so bad. “It’s all because of one of our fans who held the ball for a long time. Bernardo had too much time to think and that’s why it happened like this,” writes one of the fans quoted by “SportBible”.
“The fan who didn’t want to give the ball to Bernardo deserves to be called the idiot of the week. Congratulations,” adds another. City fans are still looking for culprits: “A guy from our city did it. People like him should watch matches on TV. A genius,” adds another fan.
Even if Silva was distracted by the long wait, his penalty kick was simply terrible. The Portuguese chose the middle of the goal, shot lightly and did not help his team. Later, Kovacić also wasted the eleven, Real Madrid won 4-3 and reached the semi-finals.
