Manchester City's Manuel Akanji has revealed he made a passing mistake by confusing his teammates over his new jersey.
The British 'Goal Dotcom' reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that "Akanji said there was a serious problem with Manchester City's Oasis commemorative uniform after the draw with Inter Milan."
Manchester City drew 0-0 with Inter Milan in the first leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League phase at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, at 4 a.m. on the 19th (Korea time).
The tense flow continued from the first half. In the 16th minute of the first half, Thurang fired a shot inside the penalty box, but the strength was not carried properly. In the 18th minute of the first half, Chalhanoglu's shot was missed.
Manchester City was not being beaten either. Holland headed Sabiu's cross in the 19th minute of the first half but headed straight for the goalkeeper. In the 14th minute of the first half, Sabiu attempted a left-footed shot but missed the goal.
It was not easy to score. In the 43rd minute of the first half, De Bruyne received Grealish's pass from the penalty box and finished with a shot, but was blocked by the goalkeeper. In the 45th minute of the first half, Augusto shot from the gate, but it was canceled.
The same was true of the second half. Foden's shot went into the goalkeeper's arms in the 24th minute of the second half. At the 31st minute of the second half, Mikkitarian connected the cross with a shot, but it went over the net. The game ended without scoring a goal.
On the day, Manchester City was wearing the Definite City uniform. According to the club, the uniform was inspired by the cover of Oasis' first album, which is famous for being a longtime fan of Manchester City. Noel Gallagher participated in the design.
However, Akanji told a story about the uniform. During the game, Akanji suddenly sent a forward pass to the assistant referee, claiming that it was because of the uniform. He said that the color was similar to the referee's uniform.
Akanji said, "I really like this uniform. I already saw it when I was shooting with Puma. One time, the umpire thought Bernardo Sylvain was on the sideline and passed it. But other than that, I really like this uniform. I look forward to playing more games in the future." 스포츠토토
