Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca responds to criticism over his team’s post-match celebrations after a 3-0 Premier League win at Liverpool on Sunday. Reports across outlets say Maresca challenges the logic of the backlash, asking what he and his players are expected to do instead.
BBC Football, Sky Sports and other coverage highlight Maresca’s line “What do you want us to do?”, framing it as a rebuttal to suggestions that the celebrations were inappropriate. Multiple outlets report that some commentators had criticised City for celebrating too much at Anfield following the victory.
The debate focuses on the tone and extent of City’s celebrations rather than the match result itself. Sports outlets present Maresca and, in one case, captain Ruben Dias as pushing back against the idea that the squad should refrain from celebrating a dominant away win against a major rival. Overall, the reporting aligns on the same incident, the same match scoreline, and Maresca’s central message.
