City v Liverpool 2-1 in 2019.
Absolutely crackling throughout.
Hostile like I hadn't seen or heard since 5-1 in 89.

Quoting a 13 year old post, I know, but this is bang on. It was unreal just before KO as the noise built up around all four sides of Maine Rd. I'm certain it helped the players as we set off like a train and were 3 up in about 25 mins.City V Schalke in 70.
You could feel the hairs on the back of your neck standing up.

Charlton and Hamburg games for me. I was in the Top tier for the Hamburg game and I have never heard that much noise up there before or since. The Charlton game because of the atmosphere, the result, it’s importance and unless I’m mistaken very sunny weather is my 2nd favourite game of all time.

Hamburg game was awesomeFootball’s changed so much that comparing matches from today with matches from the 80s isn’t comparing like with like. Year by year the parameters by which we measure a good atmosphere have been reduced so that what we might now consider a white hot atmosphere would’ve been merely pretty good back when.
Best two I was at at Maine Road were Charlton and the Maine Rd massacre, prolonged pockets of bedlam and hysteria at both games.
Best two this century by a mile were the Vinny header 1-0 and Hamburg

Boxing day 1977 the best I've ever witnessed anywhere, unlikely to ever be beaten.

Beating Everton 1981 in The FA Cup Replay was brilliant

Agree on Hamburg.
Last season, the best atmosphere I witnessed for home match was for Leeds and for the 4-3 win first leg semi vs Madrid. A bit deflated by the end, but was brilliant earlier on in the game.
