<p>The reigning English champions are enduring a nightmare run of form having won just one out of their last 10 matches across all competitions. They momentarily regained form with a convincing 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on December 4, but they once again faced <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-juventus-ederson-erling-haaland/blte64a5c062d360bb7#cs44741e9f99db8b14" target="_blank">defeat against Juventus</a> on Wednesday in the Champions League.  </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fans were understandably unhappy with their performance in Turin, however, an unfortunate event happened in the aftermath of the defeat as club captain Walker was subject to horrible racial attacks on social media. Walker to Instagram to share a couple of screenshots of people racially attacking him in the direct message as he called for social media companies to take strict action against such vile behaviour. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The England international shared two screenshots on his Instagram story and wrote: "No-one should ever be subject to the sort of vile, racist and threatening abuse I have received online since last night's match. Instagram and the authorities need to stop this happening for the sake of all who are suffering this abuse. It is never acceptable. To our fans, we will continue to work as a team to do better, to improve, and to turn the corner together." </p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd55d4ca8fba3e1e4/Snapinsta.app_469716018_18475476949037244_9011348270217191552_n_1024.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd55d4ca8fba3e1e4/Snapinsta.app_469716018_18475476949037244_9011348270217191552_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd55d4ca8fba3e1e4/Snapinsta.app_469716018_18475476949037244_9011348270217191552_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Kyle Walker screenshot 1" data-source="" data-copyright="IG:@kylewalker2" data-portal-copyright="IG:@kylewalker2" perform:prop="uuid:bltd55d4ca8fba3e1e4;width:1179;height:2096"></picture><p>In his second story, he wrote: "Unacceptable".</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt74822dafb12a303f/Snapinsta.app_470069362_18475494745037244_4126651306657797785_n_1024.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt74822dafb12a303f/Snapinsta.app_470069362_18475494745037244_4126651306657797785_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt74822dafb12a303f/Snapinsta.app_470069362_18475494745037244_4126651306657797785_n_1024.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Kyle Walker screenshot 2" data-source="" data-copyright="IG:@kylewalker2" data-portal-copyright="IG:@kylewalker2" perform:prop="uuid:blt74822dafb12a303f;width:1179;height:2096"></picture><p></p><p></p>
