Terverifikasi Administratif dan Faktual oleh Dewan Pers
Manchester City harus menelan pil kekalahan setelah menyerah 1-5 kontra Chelsea di Stamford Bridge pada babak 5 Piala FA, Minggu (21/2/2016).
Chelsea unggul lebih dulu lewat Diego Costa sebelum City dengan cepat membalas melalui tembakan pemain debutan David Faupala. Chelsea lalu mencetak gol-gol lewat Willian, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard, dan Bertrand Traore.
The Citizens menurunkan hampir setengah pemain akademi di line up mereka dengan setengah mata sudah memandang laga kontra Dynamo Kyiv yang akan dimainkan pada Rabu (24/2/2016).
Pelatih Manuel Pellegrini pun banyak mendapat kritik di sosial media karena pilihannya tersebut.
Namun, tak sedikit yang melihatnya dari sisi lebih humoris.

Sebagian lagi mengkritik para pemain City di laga tersebut, terutama duo veteran, kiper Willy Caballero dan bek Martin Demichelis.
