Football. ua remembers duels of Manchester City against rivals from Ukraine.
Shakhtar had not yet met with Manchester City in the European Cup tournaments, but the current rival of the "miners" twice confronted the main competitor of Donetsk in Ukraine - Dynamo. Four meetings with Kiev brought the "townspeople" two wins, a draw and a defeat, and in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League 2010/2011 season, the City were forced to give way, and in the season-2015/2016 at the same stage of the Champions League managed to take revenge.
During the very first meeting, which took place at the Dinamo Stadium on March 10, 2011, Mario Balotelli, who, walking along the field on foot until the 57th minute, asked for a substitute. According to official information, the cause of the poor state of health of an outrageous Italian striker was ... an allergy to the grass on the field.
Did not happen in Supermario and in the second leg: already in the 36th minute he earned a red card.
