Kinkladze Reflects on Maine Road’s Atmosphere Compared to Etihad Stadium

During an interview, Kinkladze was asked about his experience playing at Maine Road. He responded, “Amazing, amazing! Maine Road was better than Etihad Stadium – it had a better atmosphere.” When questioned further, Kinkladze elaborated that under Pep Guardiola’s leadership for nearly nine years, the team has achieved six league titles and also won the Champions League. He observed that fans now attend the stadium with an expectation of victory, a contrast to his playing days when match outcomes were uncertain, making wins feel more distinctive. Asked about the sensation of bringing happiness to supporters during a challenging era, Kinkladze stated, “It felt really good – the memories are nice. The way City play football now – I’m really happy for the fans. I am still a City fan.” Sandi Toksvig is accompanied by Gyles Brandreth, Lulu, Emmanuel Sonubi, and Alan Davies.
