As summer transfer rumours hot up, the Spainish papers have been reacting to Real Madrid ’s late, great demolition of Manchester City.
The back pages and cover stories are quite a sight, summoning religion, such was the miracle. Marca says: “Let God come down and explain.” AS wrote: “Madrid is from another world” Sport has the simple: “Incredible” And Mundo Deportivo went with: “Groundhog Day”
And before we get to the big deals of the day, let’s reflect on how City players were analysed on the continent. In France, L’Equipe dished out some brutal ratings to City players. Kevin De Brunyne was given 3/10 and described as “transparent” and “missing,” while Gabriel Jesus was also blasted with a 3. Reuben Dias “lacked serenity in the storm” and was a 4, after conceding the crucial penalty.
