Despite the numerous opportunities and goals produced by both sides, the Manchester City-Inter game was not an exciting match for everyone. Sent to the stadium for CBS Sports, ex-goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, for example, did not seem to have fun watching the draw at the Etihad Stadium. Commenting on the atmosphere of the match, the former player in particular criticized the all too dull attitude of the City fans.
These are Schmeichel’s words on the Champions League match: “I don’t think it was an exciting match. In fact, I think it was a pretty boring game. Inter was very good at stopping City’s game. I like good football with a warm stadium. Today the Etihad Stadium was dead, it was absolutely dead. The only fans we could hear were the Inter ones, they were really good. But there was zero atmosphere today at the Etihad. You think it must be there on a big European night, but it was totally absent.”
