Manchester City are only getting more popular around the world after their Champions League success, and are responding to that
Many fans of many other clubs will go to great lengths to tell you that there is no interest in City's success, starting detailed conversations about why there are no detailed conversations. The most popular reasons given for this tend to be that City have no history, no fans, and 115 Premier League rule breaches.
While that sticks uncomfortably in the air, the Blues have been busy winning football matches. A first Champions League trophy completed a famous Treble in June that sees Guardiola break new ground at an historic club.Bringing one of the game's superstars to the Etihad last summer in Erling Haaland added to the increased appeal of City, seeing them become more popular around the world as football fans wanted to watch the goalscoring phenomenon either in person or on TV.
That may not be to the benefit of so-called 'legacy' supporters of a traditionally working-class fanbase, being asked to buy match tickets well in advance rather than over the course of a season when payments can be spread. In contrast, anyone planning a trip to Manchester or the Etihad to see Haaland and the rest can now do so well in advance knowing they already have a matchday ticket.
