Cherki is (again) controversial. And this, always for football. During the League Cup final against Arsenal (2-0) this Sunday, Rayan Cherki stood out by juggling the ball in the middle of the match. The Manchester City striker made this gesture in the 68th minute, when his team was comfortably leading by two goals. An action, far from being appreciated by everyone.
Cherki received an avalanche of criticism across the Channel for this gesture, having won his first official career title this Sunday afternoon. In the commentary booth for Sky SportsGary Neville did not like the Frenchman’s initiative, finding the former Lyon player “arrogant”.

“You look like an idiot.”
“To be honest, I think it’s a bit too early for that,” said the former Manchester United player. “It was a bit arrogant. You always have to remember that Arsenal can score a goal, and you look like an idiot if you celebrate when there’s still around 20 minutes to play. His teammates won’t think it’s a good idea either.
This gesture did not fail to provoke a reaction from Arsenal, in particular Ben White, who quickly intervened on the French international. “I think I could have done the same thing,” Neville responded. “And he (Pep Guardiola) didn’t like it either,” added the consultant, when the Skyblues coach appeared annoyed in the image. A vision of football like any other.
To summarize
