"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. https://twitter.com/tomwfootball/status/920372383038439427 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: https://twitter.com/BeardedGenius/status/920378396114407430
