Man City's new uniforms have caused confusion for Guardiola's charge
In the kick-off match of the new Champions League season against Inter, Manchester City unveiled a new uniform, the creators of which were inspired by the Oasis group. However, the kit is in yellow colours, and it has caused confusion among some players of the reigning English champions.
Details: For example, Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji admitted after the match that the colours of the uniform were similar to the referee's uniform, and he mistook the assistant referee for Bernardo Silva, which is why he gave the ball in his direction.
Quote: ‘I really liked the kit, but I mistook the referee on the touchline, thought it was Bernardo and gave the ball to him. But otherwise I really like it, and I'm looking forward to playing it again. Maybe the referees should change the colour,’ The Express quoted Akanji as saying.
Recall: The match between Manchester City and Inter ended in a 0-0 draw. Pep Guardiola's team after this meeting is close to repeating the record of the tournament.
