Yaya Touré chose a bad way of showing how desperate he is to leave Manchester City.
During the second leg of the semi-final clash against Real Madrid, the Ivory Coast midfielder hardly put up an effort to help the Citizens beat Real Madrid. In fact, the African midfielder had only an 83% pass accuracy average, taking no shots on goal, never retrieved a ball from Real Madrid's players, and of course, was unable to fire any shots on Keylor Navas' net.
The former Africa Player of the year has been subject to all sorts of rumors about his future since Pep Guardiola's appointment as Man City's next coach. His agent even demanded the team to offer Touré a contract extension or he would choose to leave. With this sort of performance, it seems highly unlikely fans will see him defending the Sky Blues' jersey in the European competition next year.
Have a look at what fans had to say about his appalling performance.

Man city were absolutely shambolic, me grandad could run more than Yaya Toure and he's got a punctured lung and had two heart attacks

Fair play to Yaya Toure tonight. He made playing in a Champions League semi-final look effortless.

Yaya Toure comes off, which is a surprise to us all as we didn't know he was on.
