Manchester City players are prepared to refund the transport fare of fans who travelled to Norway to watch their dismal outing against Bodo/Glimt in Tuesday night Champions League 3-1 defeat.
This shock result followed last Sunday’s 2-0 pipping by Manchester United in a Prmier League derby. City manager Pep Guardiola lamented that “everything is going wrong” for City, and the players have now decided to reimburse the cost of tickets for the 374 fans who made the trip to the Arctic Circle.
A statement from the captains’ group of Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Rodri and Erling Haaland said: “Our supporters mean everything to us.
“We know the sacrifice that our fans make when they travel across the world to support us home and away and we will never take it for granted. They are the best fans in the world.
“We also recognise that it was a lot of travelling for the fans who supported us in the freezing cold throughout a difficult evening for us on the pitch. Covering the cost of these tickets for the fans who travelled to Bodo is the least we can do.
“We’re ready to fight on Saturday for our game against Wolves and then again next Wednesday when we face Galatasaray in front of our amazing fans at the Etihad.”
