# Man City: Fans slam Raheem Sterling comments

**Manchester City fans were far from happy with Raheem Sterling following comments he made after scoring in England’s 1-0 win over Croatia at Euro 2020.**

Sterling was in action for the Three Lions as they kicked off their Euro 2020 campaign at Wembley. It could hardly have gone better for both Sterling and his country – he scored the only goal of the game as Gareth Southgate’s side picked up an important three points.

It was a special moment for the forward, and after the match, he spoke to the BBC ([via Goal.com](https://www.goal.com/en-qa/news/sterling-trying-to-justify-selection-after-england-winner/n1npzk1x4plv18re3uglkewry)). He was discussing his form at City, and he said there are a number of different reasons as to why he has failed to hit the back of the net recently for the Citizens. Many City fans seemingly felt that his comments were a dig at their club.
