“LET ME TALK!”
Manchester City went into half-time of their Champions League clash with Napoli on Tuesday with a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus. But all wasn’t well between their two most creative players.
Kevin de Bruyne was booked for dissent just before half-time and wasn’t happy about it.
As the Belgian was leaving the field at the break, he tried to engage with the fourth official, seemingly still pissed off about receiving a yellow card.
However, Fernandinho and David Silva intervened and tried to get their teammate away from the official, perhaps worried that he could himself sent-off if he kept protesting. De Bruyne did not like this.
Bit of a barney between De Bruyne, Silva and Fernandinho as the teams go down the tunnel. City cruising, then took their foot off the pedal.

The City midfielder became even more annoyed, shouting “Let me talk” at Silva repeatedly, each time becoming more high-pitched, before storming down the tunnel like a disgruntled teenager.
The TV cameras captured the entire exchange, and you can watch the bizarre scene here:
