Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton & Hove Albion, commented on Manchester City’s recent Champions League match against Real Madrid, where City was beaten on penalties and knocked out of the competition. De Zerbi described City as “unlucky” in the match, acknowledging their dominance in possession and goal attempts during the game. Despite their strong performance, City failed to secure a win when needed, leading to their elimination from the tournament.
