This Sunday at Wembley, Manchester City won the Carabao Cup at the expense of Arsenal. Rayan Cherki’s behavior was not really unanimous during this final.
The Skyblues got the better of Arsenal at Wembley, taking advantage of the Gunners’ errors in the second half to make the difference. Rayan Cherki thus wins his first trophy with his new team and intends to continue this momentum. If he performed well overall against Arsenal, the former OL player also stood out for gestures considered controversial. The French international had fun juggling in the middle of a match and simulating at certain moments, which annoyed England, including his coach Pep Guardiola.
England grits its teeth
As sequences broadcast by British television show, the Spanish coach of Manchester City did not find the Frenchman’s behavior amusing at all. The former Barça man notably shook his head. When replacing the former OL player, Guardiola hit the nail on the head by giving him a little sarcastic reprimand. The Skyblues technician wants his players to behave with humility, and such a gesture has not gone unnoticed. Several Arsenal fans and observers also criticized what Rayan Cherki showed in this Carabao Cup final.
In the meantime, it was the Frenchman who left with the trophy, thus marking a first consecration with his new team. He will soon have the opportunity to put club football aside to concentrate on national colors, having been called up by Didier Deschamps for the friendly matches in the United States against Brazil and Colombia. These matches will represent a great opportunity for Cherki to show himself on the international scene and continue his progression at the highest level.
