Manchester City have criticized Portuguese club Porto for their “ill-judged” and “directed” complaint to England players following Tuesday’s Champions League 0-0 draw.
The result allowed both groups to qualify for the elimination phase of the European elite club competition, however Porto were happy with their opponents.
“The coach and players are even grateful for the possibility they have had again in arbitration,” Porto said in a newsletter on their website.
“After the adjustment scandals in England, this time a penalty missed for Ederson’s more than apparent lack of Otavio. “
Porto also criticized City players Bernardo Silva and Fernandinho, referring to the ban on a game through Portuguese Silva last year in a Twitter message related to fellow French team Benjamin Mendy, who is considered racist. Fernandinho has been accused of missing school.
“This is the first time Porto has reacted badly in such circumstances,” said a city spokesman.
“This time, it is the ill-judged and directed complaint of some of our individual players and even our coach, which we reject altogether.
“In 2012, last season we met them with the club’s denial of transparent racist behavior through their followers so they were investigated and fined. In this context, this new explosion is almost as unexpected as it is disappointing. “
City won Group C’s first match against Porto 3-1 at Etihad Stadium. He leads the standings before the last round of matches with thirteen issues and Porto is at a time of 10.
