Manchester City, which was hit by the "Arctic Shock," has decided to refund the ticket prices of fans who came to support Norway.
The BBC reported on the 22nd (Korea time) that "Man City players will refund the ticket fee with an apology to the fans who came to Norway."
Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, was completely defeated 1-3 in the away game of the seventh leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase in the 2025-2026 season in Norway on the 21st.
Manchester City, which suffered a blow, fell to 11th place in the league phase with 13 points (4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses). According to the current ranking table, nine teams, from fifth-place Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to 13th-place Atalanta, were ranked according to goal difference with 13 points.
A total of 36 teams will participate in the UCL League phase and play eight games each. Among them, the first to eighth place will go straight to the round of 16. The 9th to 24th place will determine their advance to the round of 16 through the playoffs. It will be an important match for Manchester City to decide whether to go straight to the round of 16.
Manchester City, which lost to Bowdo/Glimt, which is rated a few lower in terms of objective power, became the biggest scapegoat of the tournament. On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt produced the biggest 'giant killing' in the UCL finals in the club's history.
The BBC said, "I had a 'Arctic Nightmare' in Manchester City," adding, "Artificial turf and sub-zero weather are no excuse. Manchester City's defensive concentration has collapsed disastrously," he said.
There were 374 Manchester City fans who came to Norway on the day. Naturally, fans who took a long step from England to Norway knowing that Manchester City would win were shocked. As a result, Manchester City decided to refund the ticket price on the team's side.
According to the BBC, an away ticket to the game costs about £25 (about 49,000 won). The total amount of refunds paid by the team is 9,357 pounds (about 18.4 million won).
After the game, Holland said on TNT Sports in England, "I am truly sorry to the Manchester City fans who came away today. I'm really ashamed," he said.
Holan, who started as a front-line striker, remained silent even after playing full time. Because the ball was not supplied well to the front line, the ball touch was only 14 times. This is the smallest number of both teams' starters. He tried hard to shoot three times, but there was no effective shot. "I don't know," said Holan. But it's my responsibility to not score a goal that I should have scored," he said.
"Both/Glimt players played really good football. They admitted defeat, saying, "Their victory is natural," but added, "Honestly, I don't know what to say. I'm just sorry," he said.
Manchester City captains Bervardu Silva, Huven Dias, and Rodri also said, "The fans took a long trip to Norway and cheered in the freezing cold. It is the least reward to pay for the ticket for them," he said.
