Biggest, Most Important home match in City’s history?

[Stephen230]

Your perspective and the perspective of someone born in the City of Manchester Stadium era will differ. Definitely Wigan home leg, though.

Would there have even been a City of Manchester Stadium era if we’d spent a couple more years in Division 3?

Why ?
What’s happening Wednesday ?

I would say most prestigious rather than most important
It's just a shame that COVID prevented us from experiencing the joys of winning the Semi Final v PSG in 2021.

I'd argue that Wigan at home in the 1999 playoff semifinal was more important. Without that and then Wembley where would we be now?

I was just about to post exactly the same.
That game was about survival. Important as
tomorrows game is - it's about vanity / success.
Big difference.

WOuld the Commonwealth Games have given the stadium legacy to Sale Sharks?

50p off cooked chickens as Asda, apparently.

Same here. For many reasons, it was a perfect storm for City and without it, there is no Newcastle, no Aguero.

I didn't enjoy a single moment of it until the final whistle.

The Madrid game is huge, but is perhaps given more hype because of the glamour of the opponent and the new fans which have come on board since?

That United game was the end of the begining.

i would say the end of the beginning was the semi final the year earlier, the first big statement win

The Wigan game was massive.
Tomorrow is massive for a different reason.
One was to survive.
The other is to hopefully become arguably the best team this country has even seen

Man City v Man Utd 1-0 Kompany is easiest the biggest.

After smacking them 6-1 at their ground winning 1-0 to beat at home and swing the title race in our favour and go on to win in the way we did that 1-0 game was a pivot for the end of Man Utd as the dominant force for the next 10+ years.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I think it's seen as bigger because people are excited about the chance we have to win the whole thing.

Whether we like it or not, we'd be huge favourites against either Milan side.
