It was pretty sad to watch, as Vincent Kompany had to be substituted after just eight minutes of action during Manchester City’s Champions League semi-final encounter with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Not surprisingly, Twitter reacted quickly and showed mixed reactions about the Belgian’s new injury.
How long can Manchester City keep faith with Vincent Kompany’s legs? It’s getting silly now.

Kompany leaves the field with an injury. Can’t help but think wearing those socks rolled down is somehow to blame.

Kompany is a perfect Guardiola player. An injured centre back.
