Man City players to refund fans who traveled to Norway for shocking Champions
League loss
MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Manchester City's players will refund ticket costs
for fans who traveled to Norway for the team's shocking 3-1 loss to tiny
Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.
City striker Erling Haaland apologized immediately after Tuesday's game for
City's performance, saying it was "embarrassing."
Haaland is in a captains' group also containing Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias and
Rodri, and they said in a joint statement Wednesday that the players will
reimburse the 374 supporters who made the long journey to Bodo, which is
located north of the Arctic Circle.
"Our supporters mean everything to us," the statement read. "We know the
sacrifice that our fans make when they travel across the world to support us
home and away and we will never take it for granted. They are the best fans in
the world.
"We also recognize that it was a lot of traveling for the fans who supported us
in the freezing cold throughout a difficult evening for us on the pitch.
Covering the cost of these tickets for the fans who traveled to Bodo is the
least we can do."
