Man City crowd for Sevilla offers more evidence of Etihad progress

Manchester City will round off their Champions League group stage with double cause for celebration this week when they host Sevilla.

Pep Guardiola's side have already confirmed top spot, guaranteeing a better position for the draw for the first knockout round. And if the manager will not let anyone play down that achievement, plenty at the club are delighted that Wednesday's dead rubber will be played in front of another crowd of over 50,000.

General sale tickets have sold out for the fixture, leaving just a few hospitality waiting to be taken in the final hours before the match kicks off. The ground will not be full, not least because only 150 Sevilla fans are making the journey, but with plenty of their allocation of 2500 snapped up by home supporters City can expect another bumper crowd in the sort of game where they may not have got one in the not-so-distant past.
