Manchester City lost the final to Manchester United and the players' performance was completely exposed to the sun. Few fans criticized the wild celebration party they held earlier in the day, which described the players' performance as 'hungover'. One of them was shadow-drinking Lodi Casciandi, the Spanish midfielder, whose 74-game unbeaten streak was also in tatters, and for whom the last time he dropped a match and lost was last February.
After City's fourth consecutive game in the Premier League, the team celebrated with a party until 5am the next day, when Kiarisch, Lodi, Ainin Chalant and others were photographed leaving drunk.City's players were so uncharacteristically out of sorts in the final that fans naturally blamed them for having a wild time. But Keel retorted after getting the extra game, "The thing is, I started PG last Sunday (19th) and played a game every six days first and the athletes recovered from their deficiencies! The decision to pick a period of time to celebrate the whole team was not good enough to lose the Porai, the problem is my players."
Striker Einin Shalant, in addition to ending Lodi's unbeaten record, also ended Lodi's unbeaten record 'goal drought in finals' Also, the Norwegian striker has played six finals since joining Manchester City, all of them handed in blanks, including one UEFA final, two EFL finals, two Community Shields and one UEFA Premier League, five of which played 90 minutes, and the performance of the game has once again been called into question.
