Merchandise kiosk caught fire before Club Brugge matchPresentation of new signings cancelled as area evacuated
An area outside the Etihad Stadium had to be evacuated before Manchester City’s Champions League game against Club Brugge on Wednesday after a merchandise kiosk caught fire.
The blaze broke out shortly before 6pm, close to where Pep Guardiola’s City team had been due to enter the stadium at around 6.30pm. Supporters had gathered in the area for a pre-match entertainment show which included on-stage interviews with January signings Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov.
