Manchester City Star Seen Telling Guardiola To Shut Up

Manchester City player Kevin De Bruyne was caught on camera looking at Guardiola and urging him to shut up during their Champions League second-leg semi-final victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium.

The Manchester Club dominated the Spanish heavyweights at the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League champions have secured a place in Europe’s highest competition final, where they will face Italian giants Inter on June 10.

Guardiola’s team won thanks to two goals from Bernardo Silva in the first half and two late goals from Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez.

Real Madrid improved in the second half, but they were still unable to trouble the Premier League side.

Guardiola, who does not want his squad to take any chances, was seen losing his cool on the touchline with De Bruyne when the Belgium international dropped the ball at one point in the second half.

After losing possession, De Bruyne screamed “Shut up, shut up” at his manager as he urged him to pass the ball.
