Was bobbins in the ground n’all. Very flat, barely a chant went round in the first half… a bit better second half but still bobbins.

Atléti fans were good and - like Atalanta - such a refreshing change to have a good set of away fans singing all game without a drum ruining it. They well outsung us. Couldn’t hear SSL1 over them hardly all game.

Couldn't hear a single chant from their fans on SL1.

Only time I heard them was when I was leaving the ground. And even then it didn't sound loud.

I was in SSL1 block 113 with my little lad. It was very subdued but probably because we spent most the game shielding ourselves from spit, piss, half eaten pies, lit cigs and anything else they could throw down at us. Fucking animals.

Piss poor atmosphere from our fans on what should have been a big night. Poor “leadership” from the singing areas, coming out with the daft clapalongs at pretty much every moment when the team needed lifting.

So surprised with the lack of atmosphere. Plenty people trying to get chants started just didn’t get going. First 15 mins should have been electric but as soon as kicked off it just fell silent.
That banner was shite, fair play for doing something but what a boring waste, didn’t even know it said blue moon till I seen pics now, just looked a blue flag.
They really are shit house lizards and will be very satisfying to knock them out but it’s going to be a tough 90 mins over there as their crowd will be the 12th man we should have been tonight.

I thought the atmosphere was ok to start, and they sucked the life out of the ground and the ground became tense. Not what I'd want to watch, but their game plan worked.

Terrible in SS3, completely drowned out by the Madrid fans even though they didn’t fill the stand.

Lots of nerves but better after we got the goal.

Surely it can’t be as bad on Sunday?

Atmosphere was dross. All you get on here is moaning about city putting on lightshows instead of leaving it and letting the fans build the atmosphere, well they did that tonight and there was silence. Continue what you were doing city. The same people go on about moving the away fans, well ss1 and 111 were as quiet as they've ever been at a knockout game without an away section in between.

Atleti fans sang all game, wasn't overly loud as there wasn't many of them there but sang throughout despite watching their team put in a turgid performance with nothing to get excited about.
