City Stars Gear Up for New Season: Bromance Blossoms, Walker Hailed as England’s Hero
Manchester City’s title defense gets a raincheck as their international stars continue to battle it out on the global stage. While some Sky Blues are already packing their bags for post-tournament breaks, others are still chasing glory.
Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, and John Stones are celebrating reaching the Euro 2024 semis – a bittersweet victory for City fans as it meant heartbreak for Swiss defender Manuel Akanji, whose penalty miss sealed England’s fate. However, a touching moment emerged amidst the disappointment: Jude Bellingham, the City midfielder on loan at Borussia Dortmund, was spotted offering consolation to his soon-to-be teammate Akanji, even swapping shirts! Could this be the start of a beautiful bromance brewing at the Etihad?
Meanwhile, across the pond, Julian Alvarez is keeping the Argentinian dream alive, helping them reach the Copa America semis.
Back in England, Walker’s heroics haven’t gone unnoticed. The veteran fullback has played every minute of the Euros so far, and his rock-solid performance in the quarter-final penalty shootout drew high praise from former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas, who declared him “England’s greatest-ever right-back.” Talk about pressure for the upcoming Premier League season, Kyle!
With these international battles nearing their climax, City fans eagerly await the return of their stars, all hoping they’ll carry their winning form back to the Etihad. Will Foden and Walker add European glory to their resumes? Can Alvarez lift the Copa America trophy? And will the Akanji-Bellingham bromance translate into on-field success next season? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the upcoming season at Manchester City promises to be a thrilling one!
