Pep’s plan to create a Champions League-winning fan atmosphere at the Etihad

The former Barcelona boss has long been bemused by the attitude of Manchester City fans towards the tournament, and is taking steps to change it

Last Tuesday, several of Manchester City's biggest players – and most willing talkers – were rounded up to promote the Champions League.

The resulting video was posted as an advertisement on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, in a bid to get more fans buying tickets for European games, starting with the clash against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday.

Kevin De Bruyne, Vincent Kompany, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden were the players that obliged, taking turns to share some of their favourite memories of the competition.
