Man City have never won the Champions League in their history, with this year providing the best opportunity to date for them to do so. As things stand, it’s unclear whether they will even be playing the first-leg of their semi-final tie with PSG.
City fans are not happy at all, and understandably so. Their club has signed up for a concept which threatens to destroy football, as well as their chances at this year’s Champions League.
On Monday evening, banners were put up outside the Etihad Stadium which affirmed the supporters’ stance – against plans for City to be a part of the European Super League.
Why are they crawling out of the woodwork you prick of a journalist.
