In an unprecedented gesture that has gone around the world, the Manchester City team has decided to assume the travel and ticket costs of the fans who traveled to Norway to witness the unexpected fall of their team.

While in leagues like the Colombian one the distance between idols and fans is sometimes evident, in England they have given a lesson in respect to the fan.

A group of 374 brave “Citizens” fans undertook a complicated logistical journey to see their team take on Bodø/Glimt.

However, the joy of the trip turned into frustration when the home team surprised everyone with a resounding 3-1 victory, leaving City with one of the most painful and embarrassing defeats of the season.

Aware of the economic effort and time invested by their followers, the players did not sit idly by.

Let them take an example in Colombia! Manchester City players will pay the costs of tickets for fans who traveled to see them lose

Through an official statement, they announced that they will reimburse all the costs of air tickets and tickets to each of the attendees.

“You are the most important thing to us. We know the sacrifices you make to see us. Reimbursing you what you paid is the least we can do,” the team’s representatives expressed in the statement.

This gesture has not only been applauded by the international press, but also opens a necessary debate in countries like Colombia.

In a league where fan loyalty is often tested with adverse results and high costs of living, Manchester City’s action is perceived as a gold standard in the club-fan relationship.

The world of football today celebrates that, beyond the millions that surround this sport, recognition still prevails for those who are the soul of the show: the fans.

An example, without a doubt, that some players in Colombia should take.
