Man City had a disappointing home match when they lost 0-2 to Tottenham on the evening of August 23. In contrast to the disappointment of his teammates around him, Phil Foden had a very confusing expression.

Specifically, after Tottenham scored the second goal and led 2-0, the camera captured the moment Phil Foden smiled happily on the bench.

This moment immediately attracted attention and became a topic of discussion on social networks. While teammates like Ederson and Jeremy Doku expressed disappointment, Foden's facial expression was completely opposite.

Some fans later offered a plausible explanation for Foden's reaction, suggesting he wasn't laughing at the result, but at a chant from Tottenham fans in the stands.

After their team took a 2-0 lead, Tottenham fans sang in unison: "Champions of Europe, we know what we are."

It is worth mentioning that Tottenham have never won the Champions League. They only won the Europa League last season and lost to PSG in the European Super Cup. Perhaps it was the humor and somewhat "overconfidence" of Tottenham fans that made Foden laugh.

With the defeat against Tottenham, Man City is at risk of falling out of the top 4 after the end of round 2 of the Premier League.
