Manchester City’s dressing room was so disconsolate that aside from nobody saying a word, players couldn’t even bring themselves to shower. That should not take too much getting over if City are serious of making a success of this season. The Portuguese’s captaincy has been lauded by sources this season, taking over from Kyle Walker and De Bruyne and a dressing room that had become cracked last year. Because given the draw against Nottingham Forest last week, there is no real room for manoeuvre in the league, a quest that was in their own hands. Real on Tuesday will go further, even if City go out in a blaze of glory.
