The manager has to speak to the media and the captain chose to, with a united message: City had played well before being undone by late controversy. There was frustration, but also satisfaction in doing most things right.

Veering wildly off script then was Erling Haaland. The No.9 was picked by broadcasters to do several interviews and did not hold his tongue in any of them. He told one about how f***** off he was about the result, blasted Nico Gonzalez for giving away the penalty in another and criticised the 'stupid mistakes' of the team in a third.
