Now… it would be a bit ho-hum to just accept at face value.
So, the link is
The international attendance ranking shows the clubs with the highest attendances in an international comparison.

Which does indeed show City as 26th:

46556 average
league home attendance? Sounded very low.
Googling for City home attendance in 25/26 gives

… which is the average I’d expect to see.
And is confirmed by adding up the PL attendances from:

So, what does that make us in the Top 5 leagues average attendance stakes? Well using the 52391 means we are 18th just above Newcastle.
Still not good?
Actually pretty good, because, like Newcastle, we are butting up against the
Stadium capacity with our average attendance.
All the teams above us have higher
capacities, so you would hope that their average
attendance was higher!
Ie there’s no way we could get a better average attendance, unless we fiddled the figures, as per our neighbours in Trafford…
Did anyone spot the average attendance in Trafford on the worldfootball link?
Well, before we laugh out loud, I can say it’s likely due to missing numbers of attendances in 2 matches, but still dividing by the total matches played.

I’d say a similar thing has happened to the nonsense figure of our average attendance on the original transfermarkt link (that the Trafford idiot posted). I think the al-hilal friendly and/or the Brentford LC match crowd has been used to get a much lower average, or they have simply missed off a match attendance , but still included the match (with zero attendance) in the average calculation.
Anyway tldr;
1. Don’t just believe figures on a website, check.
2. Don’t ever take a Trafford fan’s thoughts as gospel.
3. Make sure you understand the correlation between capacity and attendance.
