Fans mock Man City for copying Real Madrid travelling outfit

Pep Guardiola’s men were likely hoping to travel to the Spanish capital in style and without much scrutiny.
But Twitter have ruthlessly reacted to the outfits and even Specsavers have got in on the act, leading to City deleting their official tweet.

I’d rather pay the fine or be dropped than look like that… surely VAR wouldn’t accept this as a human error 🤔🤷🏻♂️ pic.twitter.com/yxfHGySZVU

“Throughout the partnership, we will collaborate to highlight the best features of our brands and supporters, bringing the past, present and future together.

City will be optimistic heading into the first leg of their last 16 tie with Zinedine Zidane’s side.
‘Los Blancos’ haven’t won in their last two games and have slipped behind Barcelona in La Liga.
Eden Hazard also went off with an injury in the weekend’s defeat to Levante and could miss the rest of the season.
