JOE COLE ripped into Manchester City’s players for the “unacceptable” matching outfits they wore while arriving for their Champions League clаsh with Young Boys.
The TNT cameras caught Pep Guardiola and the Man City squad getting off the bus ahead of the game in Switzerland on Wednesday evening.
Jack Grealish was the first Manchester City player off the bus in the outfit
The cardigans were personalised for each player
Kyle Walker was another Man City man seen in the questionable outfit
Phil Foden also wore the white shirt and cardigan combination
Erling Haaland was another to oblige with the cardigans
Pep Guardiola did not wear the matching outfit his players were showing off
Guardiola was in one of his more regular outfits – a turtle neck and blazer.
But all of the players chose to wear rather outlandish matching shirts and cardigans for the occasion – along with light blue jeans.
In open collar white shirts and personalized cardigans, Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker, Sergio Gomez, Julian Alvarez, Josko Gvardiol, Phil Foden, and Erling Haaland were seen getting off the bus on camera.
The cardigans carried the names and numbers of the players on the back of a Man City armband.
And when the topic of their clothing came up in the studio, former Chelsea and England player Cole wasted no time in criticizing it.
He said: “Unacceptable. The gaffer got out first and he looks like the Milk Tray man. He looks brilliant.
“He looks round and, I don’t care how many Trebles you win guys, you gotta sort the gear out. It’s horrendous. I can’t sаy any more than that.”
Former Man City defender Joleon Lescott added: “Questionable. When it doesn’t look good on Jack Grealish, I’m like yeah…”
Joe Cole was not impressed with Man City’s players’ outfit choices
And fans on social media also questioned the Man City players’ sartorial choice.
One said: ” look at the state of them.”
Another added: “I honestly don’t know whose idea this was .”
While a third replied: “Whoever’s idea this was is deffo out of a job in the morning what’s wrong with a tracksuit?!”
