Carragher: Man City Banner “absolutely funny”

Both managers Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti refused to be drawn on the banner, but Pundit Jamie Carragher believes that the Wait was massively reciprocated.

“It’s absolutely funny,” Carragher said CBS Sports About the banner.

“Why would you do that? What do you get from it, even if they are fans? Why annoy people, why are someone wandering up? Do it at the end of the game, when you knocked them out.

“Don’t run me in the police celebration. I don’t know what you got from it – it’s not funny tonight, isn’t it?

“If I had come out and Steven Gerrard won the Ballon d’Or, and he would beat the player from Real Madrid, it would have annoyed me as a Liverpool player.

“It’s like a ginx. I don’t like such things. Why end some of the best players in the world? I know Madrid acted as if babies don’t go there but act like a real club.

“Everyone laughed really what wasn’t going, whether Vinicius Junior or Carlo Ancelotti did not pick up the manager of the year.”
