A Manchester City fan has died tragically during the team's game against Manchester United.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, a devoted Manchester City fan tragically passed away during Sunday's highly anticipated derby match against Manchester United. As fans were eagerly entering the Etihad Stadium, the unnamed spectator collapsed outside the entrance at around 4:30pm, just before kick-off.

According to a witness, the fan was receiving CPR from a steward as a few onlookers stood in shock. The chaos escalated as more stewards rushed to the scene, forming a circle around the fan. The crowd was desperately shouting for a defibrillator to be brought as a young girl bravely ran to retrieve one. Despite the stewards' efforts and working on the fan for about 20 minutes, the fan was eventually taken away in an ambulance. The entire incident left the witnesses traumatized.

The Premier League Champions, Manchester City, released a statement today expressing their condolences. They acknowledged the tragic news of their fan's passing and extended their thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of the deceased during this difficult time.

The incident reportedly occurred outside the stadium before the game began. Despite taking an early lead with Josko Gvardiol's first-half header, Manchester City was shocked by two late goals from their rivals, Manchester United, resulting in a 2-1 defeat. This loss adds to the defending champions' recent struggles, with only one win in their last 11 games across all competitions.

In the 88th minute, Mattheus Nunes was fouled in the box, awarding Manchester United a penalty which was successfully converted by Bruno Fernandes. Just two minutes later, Ruben Amorim's team secured their victory when Amad Diallo brilliantly controlled Lisando Martinez's through ball, evading Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson and scoring into the empty net. This win marks Amorim as the first Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to win their first Manchester derby, providing some relief after consecutive defeats against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the league.
