374 supporters who traveled to Norway on Tuesday to see their team’s shock 3-1 Champions League defeat will be reimbursed for their tickets by the Manchester City squad.

City players will put together a total of £9, 357 to pay back those who traveled to the Arctic Circle, with the cost of an away ticket for the game hovering around £25.

We are aware of the sacrifices our fans make when they travel across the globe to show their support for us wherever we are. They are the world’s greatest fans.

“We also acknowledge that the fans who supported us on the pitch during the icy conditions during a challenging evening were very traveling.

The official supporters’ club (OSC) praised the gesture, noting that only a small number of fans called to request refunds.

City fans will travel to the ends of the earth to support our team, and last night in the arctic circle was no exception, according to Kevin Parker, the OSC representative for Manchester City.

Bodo is not an easy place to travel to, and our fans struggled on a number of fronts due to the sub-zero temperatures.

This gesture serves as yet another example of how important a player’s connection to the City is on a matchday is.

“Our fans will be in full voice as we approach our next game at home on Saturday, knowing that the players are disappointed by our defeat to Bodo,” the players’ manager said.

In their final group-matched encounter with Galatasaray to secure a top-eight finish, City must now take home the win in one of the biggest upsets in Champions League history after being stunned by Glimt.

Haaland apologized to the traveling fans by saying, “Bodo played some incredible football and it was deserved.
