Kompany added: "In Moscow we weren't allowed to have any support inside the stadium.
Last year a City fans' group led a protest external-link against European football's governing body after 650 CSKA Moscow supporters gained access to the Khimki Arena for their Champions League game, despite the Russian club being ordered to play it behind closed doors.ĬSKA were handed the sanction as punishment for a series of offences including racist chanting. "The fact that we were given the sanction is actually drawing more attention to what they are trying to do. "How else can they show their frustration and somehow have a voice that matters? The Belgium defender, 29, added: "Uefa can do what they want to do, but in the end if people feel it's the right thing to do, they have the right to do it. "We have played many games in Europe where there has been racial abuse - we have had to put up with it."Ĭity supporters are understood to have regularly booed the Champions League anthem over the past year. "There is nothing holy about the Champions League anthem," said Kompany.
