Pellegrini: Sterling will justify price tag

Since being published, the video has been shared throughout Vietnam to the point it has attained “viral” status; the definition for something being viral appearing to have finally been narrowed down to something between 60,000 and 100,000 YouTube views.

A thumping 4-1 defeat by Real Madrid on Friday is an indicator that Manchester City still have a way to go to becoming a member of Europe’s elite as they look to progress further than the last 16 of the Champions League.

The fan burned the tickets in protest against the perceived frosty reception he and other fans were shown as they waited to meet the players in their hotel. Aleksandr Kolarov and David Silva also scored doubles as the Citizens romped home in style.

Others weren’t quite as responsive (if you can call it that).

Manuel Pellegrini has assured fans that Raheem Sterling will prove why Manchester City paid so much money for him.

In his second video, the supporter explains why he was so upset by the City players’ reception as he proceeds to set alight his £50 tickets (the equivalent of two weeks wages for some locals).

The clip was filmed by a Vietnamese fan during City’s recent visit to his country.

Some Vietnamese fans expressed their disgust at City’s behaviour, pointing out that Arsenal appeared to be a lot happier to meet locals on their tour before the 2014/15 season.
