Man City CEO: 'Real Madrid deserved to lose against PSG, Chelsea, City and Liverpool in Champions League'
Quoted by Spanish publication AS, Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano has aimed a brutal dig at Real Madrid despite their Champions League win.
Downplaying the importance of the elite trophy, which City have never won, Soriano said: "Real Madrid deserved to lose against PSG, Chelsea, City and Liverpool.
"The Champions League is not City's core of their objectives because luck plays a part [in winning it]."
That's a little bizarre for the CEO to suggest that only those with luck win the toughest continental competition in Europe.
City were embarrassingly knocked out of the semi-final by Real Madrid, following which they beat Liverpool in the final to win the trophy a record 14th time.
