I’d say it was about 48,000 at a guess. Top tier of the away stand was empty as Red Star returned that section and there those like you say small sections of the home their tiers and odd doubles dotted about.For anyone who didn't go last night. I'd just like to correct this completely and utter misinformation. With the exception of a very small section of seats in the top tiers of the CB and West stands, the stadium was pretty much full. Yes there will always be the odd noshows in other seats but that's normal. Whilst I am disappointed that we were maybe a couple of thousand off capacity for an opening game of defending our trophy, to say we were 25k down borders on me thinking you are either a WUM, over anxious or not a city fan.

Can we talk about Rodri...sorry but I don't get it ?
City were so wasteful last night that we had to sing “Come on City” after about 35 minutes.Who would have thought we would reach this stage:
The Champions League group home matches are flat, often boring and (almost) meaningless now.
Fair enough. Although I'm pretty sure the first shout during the silence was from our crowd and said "CLIMATE CHANGE!"It was a response to them waving money and singing "hate Man City" and another song about us being a fake club. I have a great view of the away section in my seat and I thought their fans were total wankers including the one who screamed "fuck you City" during the minute's silence for North African food victims.
It's piss poor when you think about it. European champions, relatively respectable ticket prices and yet there will more people against bottom teams in the Premier leagueI’d say it was about 48,000 at a guess.

EDIT- just looked and it says the attendance was 50,204 on BBC Sport (so wasn’t far off)

it's because it's more interesting playing teams at the bottom of the PL. Went to my first CL since the pandemic last night and, meh, like watching paint dry. Unless you get a group with three quality teams in it, it's pointless until the knock out stages.It's piss poor when you think about it.

Over 50K for a shite game like that is not "piss poor". It will probably be the only fixture in any competition this season where there are a few unsold seats.It's piss poor when you think about it.
