Manchester City supporter Emily Brobyn, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast about City’s 0-0 draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League:

“I’m not just saying it to be positive, but I think it will prove to be quite a useful point.

“Inter were champions of Serie A by some margin last year, they came to the Etihad and set up so well. I thought it was a fascinating game to watch tactically. Inter were so well drilled and well organised defensively.

“At times we did look quite one-dimensional and slow in attack. I do wonder if there is an overreliance sometimes on Erling Haaland, but we did have some chances and we scuffed them, so I think all in all a point is a really good result.”

Did you know….

  • City failed to find the net for just the second time in 42 home Champions League matches under Pep Guardiola, with their other failure a goalless draw with Sporting in March 2022.

  • Although they failed to win, City extended their unbeaten Champions League run to 24 matches (won 16, drawn eight), just one behind the record set by Manchester United between 2007 and 2009 (25 games).
