Pep Guardiola's men were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties after a 4-4 aggregate draw with Los Blancos.
Manchester City fans have been criticised for causing Bernardo Silva to miss a crucial penalty in the shootout against Real Madrid.
The EPL outfit started the penalty shootout on a high note as Julian Alvarez netted the first spot kick, followed by Ederson blocking Luka Modric's attempt, which increased the noise levels inside the Etihad. However, when it was Bernardo's turn, he was left standing without a ball, which was being held by the crowd. The referee signalled for another ball before one was finally thrown onto the pitch.
Reflecting on the match, former City star Joleon Lescott highlighted the impact of the delay Silva faced before taking his penalty. He told TNT Sports: "That would have just took him out of sync and out of his rhythm. You can practice the routine, the technique, the walk up potentially, this is something you don't prepare for, the ball being in the crowd."
