And according to ITV, Pep Guardiola’s side refused to acknowledge their runners-up medals.
Some fans pointed out that in 2019, when City won the league, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, they counted the Community Shield.
They even described the side as “Fourmidables” in a nod to the number of trophies won that season.
So it is no surprise that when City refused their second-place medals, fans hit out.
One said: “Man City counted the Community Shield in their ‘Fourmidables’ season but refused to take the losers medal this time round.”
Another posted: “Means something when they win it but not when they lose it. Pathetic club.”
One added: “To be fair you can’t refer to the Fourmidables and dismiss the Charity Shield as a friendly. Its one or the other.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the scoring in the first-half with a beautifully curled effort to open the scoring.
But City’s Julian Alvarez levelled the game on 70 minutes as he converted a rebound off Phil Foden’s effort.
Mo Salah then restored Liverpool lead from the spot with seven minutes to go before new man Darwin Nunez settled the match.
Erling Haaland missed a golden chance to score on his big day only to see his effort from close range hit the crossbar.
