Man City questioned for ‘horrendous’ pre-match outfit that not even Jack Grealish could rock
Manchester City have been told to 'sort the gear out' as they donned some unusual attire before their win against Young Boys.
Upon arrival at the Wankdorf Stadium for their 3-1 Champions League victory, City boss Pep Guardiola was looking smart for the occasion.
However, when his players also made their way off the team bus, it was clear they opted not to wear the usual tracksuits.
Instead it was a cardigan and jeans combo, with the City stars having armbands that read 'Manchester City' on their left arm.
Their names and squad numbers were printed on their backs too, but Joe Cole was less than impressed with their fashion choices.
When asked by TNT Sports presenter Reshmin Chowdhury for his thoughts on the outfits, he said: «Unacceptable Reshmin.
»I'm not being funny right, the gaffer got out first and he looks like the milk tray man, he looks brilliant.
«And he looks round, I don't care how many trebles you win guys, you've got to sort the gear out. It's horrendous, I can't say anything more than that.»
Cole's co-pundit Joleon Lescott added: «Questionable, when it doesn't look good on Jack Grealish, then I'm like, yeah...»
Despite a contentious choice of pre-match garms, City turned on the style in Switzerland to make it three wins from three in the groups.
Manuel Akanji opened the scoring for the European champions early on in the second half with a close-range finish.
Young Boys quickly equalised courtesy of a sumptuous chip from Meschack Elia but Erling Haaland put City back in front soon after.
He smashed his penalty past the goalkeeper to end his run of five games without finding the back of the net in the Champions League.
The Norwegian added a second late on to ensure City remain top of Group G with their 100 per cent record
