The Carabao Cup final took an unexpectedly comic turn when Cherki decided to turn a tactical foul into a social media phenomenon. After being brought down by a violent sliding tackle from Arsenal defender White, the Man City playmaker was left lying on the pitch, clutching his leg in apparent agony.
As the medical staff prepared to intervene, the former Lyonnais suddenly changed register. Seeing a goal at the edge of the pitch, Cherki abandoned his suffering look to give a wide mischievous smile and strike a mischievous pose directly in front of the camera, before resuming his “hurt” look.
