Why was it needed to be said in the first place, our attendance record is one of the best in the league for Prem games
If it was about atmosphere, well many managers have lamented the atmosphere, even the old pisscan, if that is what Pep intention was as some think he worded badly and it in a way that gave a negative slant on the fans attendance, and has fed the trolls and allowed an already clownshoe standard of sports media another chance to lay into us and take the piss
It was an unecessary comment and it isn't the first time he has done it.
Most teams in the champions league don't reach full houses and the likes of barca and Juve cannot fill their stadiums for leagues games, so it is such a stupid thing to talk bring up even if you have managed the biggest clubs in europe.
