Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has responded to reports circulating about fans being refunded after their 1-3 defeat to Budø-Glimt in the 7th round of the Champions League. The match took place at the Aspmyura Stadium in Norway.
The Norwegian striker emphasized that fans' support for the team during their away journey should not be ignored.
"We could not leave your support unanswered. Now we need to improve the situation together," Haaland said.
Who put forward the initiative?
It has been reported that Haaland himself and three other experienced team leaders - Rodri, Ruben Dias, and Bernardo Silva - spearheaded this decision. That is, it's not just about the "club decision," but about the personal position of players who feel responsibility on the field.
How much money will be returned?
According to reports, the total amount expected to be returned to fans is 10,760 euros. This number might seem "low" against the backdrop of big transfers, but for a fan, it's a sign of attention and respect. Because traveling is not just about tickets: there are roads, hotels, time, and nerves.
"Improve Together" Alarm
The most important point for fans is this: even after the defeat, the team gave a signal that "we are listening to you." Haaland's statement that "now we need to improve the situation together" echoes this - it's not just the returned money, but a confident step that affects the team's morale.
Previously, it was reported that leading City players had proposed reimbursing fans for travel expenses to Norway. Now, Haaland explained the meaning of this decision in a single sentence: if the fan supports, the team must respond.
