Aymeric Laporte on his time with #ManCity in the Champions League: “Against Tottenham, we lost because of the hand of [Fernando] Llorente. The year after, first game against them. I flicked to Gabriel Jesus, it hit my head and my hand, VAR said handball. Who can say this one is handball and last year we lost the Champions League because of this? They are killing me.
“So many injustices. I swear, every year, we were in the same situation. We missed the penalty against Tottenham, [Sergio] Aguero, and after they scored with the hand. Against Liverpool, offsides, no offside. Small details.
“We could’ve won the same as the Premier League… in six years we could’ve won five Champions Leagues. Stupid mistakes… I’m losing my mind. It’s always, ‘Arrghhh’… It’s trauma, no? These kinds of games…” [via @SamLee]

Enzo Maresca is planning to hold talks with Jack Grealish about the chances of him reviving his #ManCity career, reports @CrossyDailyStar. Unless told otherwise, Grealish will be expected to return to pre-season training in July ahead of @ManCity's summer tour of the Far East. 👀
Joao Pedro on Cole Palmer: “He goes crazy if I don’t say England are favourites. He really wants Brazil vs England in the quarter-finals. I told him: ‘Careful, huh? Be careful.’” (@lancenet / @TNTbr via @Sport_Witness)
🚨🔵 BREAKING: Enzo Maresca has a total verbal agreement with Manchester City, HERE WE GO!
The Italian manager has always been considered the ideal candidate to replace Pep Guardiola.
Deal in place and Maresca will sign an initial three year deal at #MCFC. 🇮🇹
New era, soon.
