Man City players miss penalties
A video circulating online showed Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Ilkay Gundogan and Erling Haaland missing the target during a training session.
The reigning Premier League champions put on a live stream of their training session before their game against Juventus for the fans to watch.
Nearly 20,000 fans tuned in to watch it on YouTube, and many noticed players missing an open goal from 12 yards, per The Mirror.
Foden, who is having a poor season, blazed the ball over the bar, Gundogan's effort went wide, Grealish skied his attempt, while Haaland couldn't find the top corner.
Football fans on social media claimed it was not a penalty session but a crossbar challenge. They'll be aiming to get a win over Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday.
They face Manchester United this coming weekend in the Premier League.
