Despite Manchester City's Community Shield victory, controversy has emerged over its actions at the trophy ceremony.

British sports bible reported on the 11th (Korea time) that Manchester City players ignored their teammates at the Community Shield celebration.

Manchester City drew 1-1 with Manchester United during the regular season in the 2024-2025 Community Shield match at Wembley Stadium in London on the 10th, but won 7-6 after a penalty shootout. With this victory, Manchester City lifted the trophy by erasing the record of failing to win the Community Shield despite winning the league for the past three seasons.

The two teams remained scoreless throughout the first half, but Manchester United went ahead with Alejandro Garnacho's first goal, which shook Manchester City's defense in the 37th minute of the second half. However, Manchester City also caught up with Bernardu Silva's equalizer in the 44th minute of the second half. After that, Manchester City won the penalty shootout with the first kicker Silva, and Manchester City with the fourth and seventh kickers Jadon Sancho and Johnny Evans missing.

It's a happy win for the first time in a long time, but the controversy at the trophy celebration has put Manchester City players in a situation where they have to explain their actions. It was pointed out for its disregard for new students.

Sports Bible says fans found Man City player brutally ignored by team-mates at Community Shield win celebration. Manchester City celebrated the win after the game, and Kevin DeBrowner lifted the trophy. It was then delivered to Huven Dias, who again handed it to Manuel Akanji. But in the process, Díaz ruthlessly ignored Savinho, who joined Man City.

In the video of the ceremony broadcast, Díaz was seen receiving the trophy from Derbroughner and lifting it high, then handing it over to Akanji, who was next to him instead of Savinho standing right next to him. It was safe to say that Díaz really ignored Savinho because all the players continued to receive it and lift it after Akanji. Savinho also looked a little embarrassed when he saw the trophy not coming to him. In particular, Savinho made his first official debut in Manchester City on the day, so it was a more honorable occasion, but he had to finish the celebration unfortunately due to Díaz's ceremony passing.

After the controversy, fans reacted negatively. The fans said "He looks really flustered","He kept looking at the trophy and wanted to lift it up so badly.", "I was turned away even during the game", "When I saw this on TV, I thought it was crazy. I don't know why," he said, expressing anger and sorrow.

Meanwhile, Savinho raised the trophy he had never heard of before on the ground and posted a photo of his certification. He enjoyed a little bit of joy as he took pictures with his teammates, including Pep Guardiola and Elling Holan, holding the trophy.
