The Manchester City vs Liverpool match in the FA Cup quarter-finals witnessed a humorous and strange situation when Frenchman Rayan Cherki wore the jersey of Liverpool player Hugo Ekitike while sitting on the bench.

Cherki, 22 years old, started the match before being substituted in the 71st minute in favor of Tijjani Reijnders. Later, he exchanged jerseys with his compatriot Ekitike, who was also substituted in the second half while Liverpool was trailing 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

In a moment that caught attention, Cherki appeared wearing Ekitike's jersey next to Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, before a member of the coaching staff alerted him to remove the jersey. The French star quickly realized his mistake, with an apologetic expression on his face, raising his hand to apologize to the coaching staff and his teammates.

The match ended with Manchester City winning 4-0, advancing to the FA Cup semi-finals after a hat-trick from Erling Haaland and a goal from Antoine Semenyo, in a remarkable football display that amazed the Etihad Stadium fans under the leadership of Pep Guardiola.
