Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva had an unintentionally funny argument against Napoli

"LET ME TALK!"

“LET ME TALK!”

Manchester City went into half-time of their Champions League clash with Napoli on Tuesday with a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus. But all wasn’t well between their two most creative players.

Kevin de Bruyne was booked for dissent just before half-time and wasn’t happy about it.

As the Belgian was leaving the field at the break, he tried to engage with the fourth official, seemingly still pissed off about receiving a yellow card.

However, Fernandinho and David Silva intervened and tried to get their teammate away from the official, perhaps worried that he could himself sent-off if he kept protesting. De Bruyne did not like this.

The City midfielder became even more annoyed, shouting “Let me talk” at Silva repeatedly, each time becoming more high-pitched, before storming down the tunnel like a disgruntled teenager.

The TV cameras captured the entire exchange, and you can watch the bizarre scene here:
