The football match between Manchester City and Anderlecht featured a significant moment when striker Kasper Dolberg was rugby tackled to the ground by Mac Allister, leading to his red card and subsequent social media commentary.
Manchester City’s bid to defend their crown in the football tournament can be followed from the group stage through to the final on TNT Sports for a monthly fee of £29.99.
Despite Mac Allister’s protest, the referee sent him off, sparking amused reactions from fans on social media. Some even shared jokes about the incident, with Love Island’s Iain Stirling comparing it to a game of “British Bulldogs.”
