Man City vs Real Madrid Champions League match has ended, however, the discussions still continue. One of the topics discussed by Man City fans is fouls made on the players of their team.
Here's, for example, an episode from the match that looks more like a scene from a movie or some wrestling match.
When Doku posted this photo on Instagram, fans were quick to comment.
FuryOfOberon: "This is what they’ve been calling 'pocketing'. Defenders grabbing our players for dear life, hoping refs don’t call a foul."
Single-Weather1379: "How Camavinga ended the first leg without a yellow card is beyond me. Real Madrid will always have the refs by their side."
Swampfire279: "I won't lie, Dani Carvajal has a rather punchable face."
rr18114: "Carvahal will continue to do this until the day he retires. But I don't blame him. In fact, I envy him. It's the job of the refrees to stop these things from happening. If you allow players to get away with things, they will absolutely test their luck."
packandunpack93: "Literally a Rugby tackle"
RecommendationOnly78: "He just wants a cuddle 🤗"
LewissKA: "Not a foul, he's clearly just giving him a hug."
Real Madrid had 37 tackles attempted compared to Man City's 26. However, if we check the fouls committed stat, it is 15 for Man City and only 11 for Real Madrid. So, it's either Real Madrid are just better at clearing the ball without fouls, or there was some help from the referee as City fans mentioned.
