A Brazilian student is enjoying a tour of the Etihad Stadium with his classmates. Unshaven and dressed casually in jeans and a jumper, he has his picture taken in front of a giant Manchester City crest, then sits in Phil Foden’s seat in the dressing room while a video is shown to the group.
Earlier, in a makeshift classroom in the Colin Bell Stand, he listens to a lecture on the different business models for football stadiums, where the Bernabeu is used as an example.
It turns out it is a place he knows well.
