Manchester, UK – Just when you thought you’d seen it all in the Premier League, a jaw-dropping revelation has the English football world spinning: a Manchester City player has been secretly hiring a shaman—yes, a real-life spiritual guide—before every match!
The identity of the player remains a tightly guarded secret, but sources close to the club whisper that he’s one of the squad’s biggest names, known for his sudden surge in form and “unshakable confidence” in recent months.
According to insiders, this isn’t a one-time gimmick. We’re talking full-blown pre-match rituals, including incense-burning, energy cleansing, crystal alignment, and even animal sacrifices… of the symbolic kind, of course.
“He believes it brings him clarity and protects him from injuries,” one source told The Daily Boot. “He won’t step onto the pitch without getting a blessing first—it’s his secret weapon.”
Even more outrageous? Some teammates are reportedly getting curious and lining up for their own sessions. Has Etihad Stadium become the new spiritual hotspot of English football?
While the club has refused to comment officially, the internet is already ablaze with theories. Fans are scrambling to identify the mystery player, with names like Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva, and even Erling Haaland thrown into the mix.
Football traditionalists are fuming, calling it “superstition gone too far”, while others see it as a modern twist in a sport where mind games are everything.
Could this explain City’s recent dominance? Is spiritual energy the new sports science? One thing’s for certain—this scandal has only just begun.
