Community Shield runners-up Manchester City elected not to collect their losers medals after Liverpool secured the trophy on Saturday.
The two sides went head-to-head at the King Power Stadium in what was the season’s traditional curtain-raiser. It was the Reds who ran out victors in the East-Midlands - Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez all getting on the scoresheet, Julian Alvarez finding the net for City.
Whilst Liverpool were left celebrating following the final whistle, the same cannot be said of Pep Guardiola ’s troops. According to ITV Sport, runners-up medals were on offer for the losing side but City elected not to collect their tokens - instead choosing to applaud the Reds as they lifted the Community Shield before exiting down the King Power tunnel.
