The lack of public at the Etihad Stadium, did not go unnoticed by the coach, who reproached this and asked for more support from his fans. But this resulted in a scandal that could even mean a break between the Catalan coach and his fans. On the sidelines, it seems to have affected the performance of Manchester City, which failed to break zero against Southampton.

Manchester City did not play a good game. In the first half, practically, he did not kick the goal and, in the second half, at times, he suffered a lot and could even have lost the game. The VAR ended up being the protagonist canceling decisive plays for both teams.

In the second part, there was more danger in McCarthy's arc. However, Southampton also created danger. And around the 62nd minute he could have had his great chance with a penalty taken by referee Jonathan Moss. Nevertheless, a swift intervention by the VAR led Moss to change his decision.

And in the end, Raheem Sterling seemed to break zero with a goal that even Etihad screamed. But, the linesman raised the flag correctly after the English winger was narrowly in the lead position. Despite the protests, nothing changed the decision and it all ended in a draw that moves Manchester City away from the current leader Liverpool.
