Anfield roar shows Pep what he doesn’t have, and may never get, at the Etihad, writes NeilHumphreys LIVACM MCIRBL

Of course they were. Guardiola's men had given his patchy audience a wonderfully ragged 6-3 victory. In return, the City fans gave Guardiola empty seats.

And yet, Guardiola finds himself demanding more from a club still reaching for a pre-eminence to rival his own.Bayern Munich and Barcelona packed their respective citadels for him, bringing along a storied history and pedigree with every ticket. Oh, it most certainly was proper Champions League stuff. It was proper legitimacy, too. If anyone still has doubts over where true power lies in the English game, take a look at exhibits A and B - Anfield and the Etihad - one brought the noise, the other brought 17,000 spare seats.

Anfield delivers on that promise whenever the floodlights welcome another of those fabled European nights. Fans and footballers were co-conspirators in creating an aggressive, relentless momentum that passed from the stands to the pitch and then back again in a circular fashion that heightened the performance on both sides of the line.
