Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel criticized the atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium during Manchester City's goalless draw with Inter Milan in their Champions League opener, calling it 'absolutely dead'. He expressed disappointment over the lack of crowd excitement, stating that the only audible supporters were those from Inter, while Manchester City fans failed to create an intimidating presence. Schmeichel described the match as 'boring' and noted that Inter effectively neutralized City's attacking threat. Despite City's strong start to the season, the draw raised concerns, particularly with star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne suffering an injury during the game. City will need a more vibrant crowd when they face Arsenal next in a crucial Premier League clash to maintain their title push. Manager Pep Guardiola is also awaiting updates on De Bruyne's condition post-match.
