I think under Pep, City, Fernandinho, Gundo and a few others learned the dark arts of disrupting play. There’s only Kompany I can think of from the top of my head where challenges were put in and someone could of got hurt.
Just reading a piece where Martinez of Belgium is not impressed with Rudigers challenge. He has gone on record and said why did Rudiger go down holding his face when he clearly wiped out KDB with his shoulder. He says Rudiger knew exactly what he was doing. What’s disappointing is Rudiger played with a face shield due to a facial injury he sustained and has done it to another player. That aside, it ain’t gonna change history.

There was one by Fernandinho in a recent defeat “ can’t remember who) you were 2-1 down and he chopped a player down from behind no attempt at the ball ( my pet hate) to stop him he’s just been fortunate he hasn’t hurt anyone.
Great footballer bad fouler.
But all teams need one to some degree.

Getting close to accusing a player of looking to deliberately hurt another when that’s clearly not the case

Rudiger committed a foul and was punished for that - the injury was very unfortunate and hopefully KDB recovers quickly

And of course Martinez is going to say what he has - he may well lose his best player for the Euros

Rudiger deliberately and aggressively took De Bruyne out with a shoulder to his face. He may not have meant to cause the serious damage he did - but he was willing to take that chance. Not grab a shirt or pull back - get in hard and fast and make sure the player doesn't get past.

Then pretended he was in fact hurt. Cynical and very dirty.

I'm sure he tried to hurt him, just not injure him.

Sorry Amanda but City fans complaining about Cynical fouling .
You won the league with this as part of the plan.

Yes it was a bit of a cynical foul.
Don’t think he tried to hurt KBD.
Imo he turned his shoulder into him to protect himself given he had a face injury himself.
Maybe could and should have been red. After watching it again.
Pity if he misses the Euros , I like watching him as a footballer.
But imho the refs need to stamp this cynical breaking up of play as it was only a matter of time before this happened.
The offside rule is the same someone’s going to get hurt ,just put your flag up.
