Losing to Man Utd due to silly mistake, Man City criticized for playing like drunk

[

On the evening of May 25, Man City lost to Man Utd 1-2 in the FA Cup final. This was a surprising result. Man City received a lot of criticism from their own fans.

Pep Guardiola's team were rated higher than the "Red Devils" before the match at Wembley but they lost after 90 minutes. Man City controlled the ball up to 74% but were deadlocked in front of the opponent's goal. It was not until the 87th minute that Man City had a goal through Jeremy Doku.

Man City was criticized for playing like they were drunk.

However, this goal was not enough to make up for the two goals conceded in the first half from incredibly weak defensive situations.

On social media, fans blamed Pep Guardiola's players for their defeat before the FA Cup final. Fans of the reigning Premier League champions were unhappy with the lack of concentration and complacency of their players. Defender Josko Gvardiol was the most criticized for his silly mistake that led to Man Utd's opening goal.

Last weekend, the Man City stars partied until 5am after winning the Premier League for the fourth time in a row. The place where the Man City players went to drink was the Fenix restaurant. Coach Pep Guardiola's players brought their girlfriends and wives to the party. When they left, everyone looked tired after a night of partying.

A fan wrote on social network X (formerly Twitter): "Man City played as if they had been drinking all week."

“The Man City players looked like they couldn’t even run on the pitch. They must have had too much alcohol,” another person commented.

The Daily Mail quoted some comments from Man City fan accounts: "The players have been drunk since Sunday until today. They can't even walk properly", "I think Man City players are still drunk" , "Man City sent drunk players to play in the final" ...

“This is the truth. The Man City players got drunk after winning the Premier League, forgetting that the job was not done and that they had an FA Cup final against their biggest rivals. Real Madrid would never allow this to happen. This shows a lack of concentration and professionalism,” another fan commented.

Jack Grealish and his Manchester City teammates have been known for their drinking in the past, but the decision to throw such a big party ahead of the FA Cup final and trophy parade around Manchester on Sunday will be questioned after City's disappointing performance at Wembley.
