JAKARTA - Manchester City lost in the Manchester Derby against rivals The Red Devils with a score of 1-2 at the Etihad Stadium, Sunday, December 15, 2024.

The Citizens players admit that their performance in the match is like a 15-year-old boy.

The way of losing against Manchester United, with the visitors scoring two goals at the last minute with a Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo penalty, made the players question Manchester City's performance.

"It was a young team defense. It looks like that's the current story. I don't know what happened, but we don't care and they scored two goals," Foden told the BBC.

Meanwhile, midfielder Bernardo Silva said The Citizens deserved to lose the game.

He emphasized that the bad period of Manchester City with eight defeats in the last 11 matches in all competitions was not a matter of luck.

However, there is indeed something wrong with The Citizens with just one win and two draws in the 11 parties.

"We deserve what happened. At this level, one or two games were unlucky."

"We can't say it's lucky or unlucky, 11 games have nothing to do with it."

"It's not just one game, it's a lot of games. We have to see ourselves."

"You can say, oh, it's a bit unlucky, no. It's a decision you made. Today in the last minute we played like players under 15 years old," Bernardo Silva told Sky Sports.

Next, Pep Guardiola's team will visit Aston Villa headquarters on December 21, 2024.

They will try to return to winning ways after two consecutive matches in the Premier League lost.
