Raheem Sterling squandered a glorious chance to get on the scoresheet in Saturday night’s champions league defeat to Lyon.
The 25-year-old England international failed to tie the scores at 2-2, sending his attempt miles over the bar whiles facing an empty post.
Gabriel Jesus’s trickery came in handy on the right and the Brazilian, having made way past his challenger, picked out Sterling with a low cross. However, the former Liverpool attacker skied a shot over the bar while being just two yards out with an empty net in front of him.
Here is how Man City fans on social media reacted to the miss:

Ask the English media, they will tell you he is better than neymar.— papite (@jgedeon1717) August 15, 2020
Unbelievable miss don’t know what it is about Raz and open goals. Game on if that had gone in. 😌💙— eileen mayall (@aveagudun) August 15, 2020
That’s just scapegoating the kid who was not involved in any of the goals conceded, it was walker, laporte and Ederson that were sub par— babysteps (@joeogun_) August 15, 2020
I always told city fans that sterling is stupid and miss dozens of goals, but they defend him like— Ace47 (@Acedrewbl) August 15, 2020
