Well done you for finding that picture wherever and whenever you found it and for what reason you post it without comment like a typical Internet smartarse.
It does not make an iota of difference to the fact that for some reason the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation omitted the top of the group information on either the national TV news shown in BRITAIN at 2200 or their local North West regional news at for the benefit of BRITISH fans who watch TV for their news.
I don't know whether your Internet searches found that on the same news bulletins that they did manage to announce Liverpool had finished top of their group. The night before they were gushing about the Rags 'being back' and finishing top of their group. Chelsea didn't get much of a mention.
Better treatment of the Redshirts is not new news of course just a bit of info l added to the heap of similar examples on this thread.

I didn't think the picture warranted accompanying comment!? The first BBC radio report I heard of last nights game was on 5Live at around 08:30 this morning. After gushing praise for the way we played the reporter told us "City and PSG have now qualified for the round of 16 with City finishing top of the group". Regardless of whether the reports you heard mentioned us finishing top or not, just because the reporting did not contain the exact content you wanted does not prove bias. A fellow blue said to me on Sunday how MOTD not showing our goals against Everton during the analysis was further proof of bias using the fact that they replayed Spurs crappy goals during analyses of their game. I pointed out that the analyses they did of us (the different ways we relentlessly attack teams making it nigh on impossible for teams to defend against us) was very insightful and complimentary and that perhaps in Spurs case they had nothing good to say about their play and so just replayed the goals!

Well done you once more.
 
Honestly we can never ever win with some people
City v Club Brugge, City didn’t sell out, embarrassing fan base
City v PSG, they did sell it out but it didn’t sell out till the day of the game, embarrassing fan base

So were you more upset by the fact that our goals were not as actively analyzed as Spurs' goals?

Sometimes you have to know what the enemy are thinking. Just off topic Jordan had been balanced over the allegations about Cricket Racism, he’s been a voice of calm amongst the frenzied accusers ready to jump on the band wagon. He made some very good, reasoned points whilst shouty man and Sinclair were acting as Judges with no evidence.

No top club sells out their stadium in the group stages, do Bayern, Madrid and Barcelona have full houses? I can understand why the dippers and rags get excited as they haven’t qualified for the champions league as consistently as City have in the last ten years. They have to make the most of the group stages as they are never too sure when they will see champions league football again.

Thankfully, I'm abroad and don't have to watch it, but I remember the first time I ever watched City in the Champions League on BT Sport. I made a visit back home and my old man had subscribed to BT so he could watch the CL games. Having grown up in the seventies and eighties, I grew used to the idea that coverage of British sides in Europe would be partisan and quite openly biased in favour of our clubs. This was quite the opposite.

It was partisan and biased all right, but in favour of our opponents (I can't remember now who it was). They seemed to be actively willing us to lose and didn't make any secret of that. I was astonished - I've never seen that in any match involving another British club on domestic TV.

Napoli I think, I’ve always gone to the home games but recorded one once and when watching back couldn’t believe the one sidedness of the comments and like you was amazed it wasn’t in our favour.

Barcelona v Benfica was just under 50,000 so around half full, equivalent of us having circa 26k as capacity from CL slightly lower than normal. Madrid's two home CL games attracted 24 and 38k. Probably get more for the Inter game but capacity is around 80k

There’s a lot of building work going on at Madrid and not too sure if they are allowed to go back to full capacity in Spain due to covid. They didn’t have full houses before the pandemic, Inter Milan who don’t qualify regularly managed 42,000 in a stadium that probably hold 70,000 people.

People should be asking the questions of why Europe’s premier club competition just doesn’t have the interest of the Premier league. If it’s such a money spinner why don’t Sky want it? That was a cracking game last night between two very good sides but you don’t see anything like that until the quarter finals.
