How Man City Stars Reacted To Shock UEFA Ban
18 February, 2020
With many in world football still in shock after UEFA handed Manchester City a two-year ban from the Champions League, how the City stars reacted if they heard the news has reportedly been revealed.
Pep Guardiola and his players returned to training on Friday following team's winter break, however the squad had no idea about the impending ban, based on the Athletic.
As a consequence, these were in "complete shock" when the club contacted the players via their agents to see them of the development.
The club's bosses reportedly told the players to remain calm, assured them the ruling would be overturned, and urged them not saying anything on social media.
The players were then invited to a meeting at the club on Saturday, when the bosses explained their stance.
It's been claimed the mood in the dressing room was a defiant one, with one describing the message to be along the lines of: "if UEFA don't love us, f*ck it, we'll suggest to them."
Guardiola reportedly told his players that "now, as part of your, we have to suggest to them that we are not money, we are talent", with their UCL round of 16 clash against Real Madrid becoming more important than ever before.
