🗣️ Aymeric Laporte on City’s Champions League heartaches and controversies.
“The emotions were terrible. Against Madrid it was a shit sensation, so lucky. And against Tottenham it was the worst in my life. These two games…
“Against Tottenham, we lost because of the hand of Llorente. And the year after, the first game of the season is against them. I flicked to Gabriel Jesus, it hit my head and my hand, and the VAR said handball. Who can say this one is handball and last year we lost the Champions League because of this? They are killing me. So many injustices.
“I swear, every year, we were in the same situation. We missed the penalty against Tottenham, Aguero, and after they scored with the hand. Against Liverpool, offsides, no offside. Small details.
“We could have won the same as in the Premier League, five in a row… in six years we could have won five Champions Leagues. Stupid mistakes. I don’t know… I am losing my mind, you know? It’s always, ‘Arrghhh’.”
“It’s trauma, no? These kinds of games. Uff.”
