The Manchester City fans began the afternoon by chanting the name of Roberto Mancini in a show of support. The Blackburn crowd ended it by calling for Steve Kean's head in just as public a gesture of disapproval, albeit one that waited until the home side were three goals down before clearing its throat. By the time City had finished, four goals separated the sides and something resembling normality had returned, with Rovers back as the crisis club and Kean as the manager under pressure.

"It was the result we were looking for to put Bayern Munich to bed," said the first-team coach, David Platt, on media duty as Mancini had to catch a flight to Italy straight after the game, and speaking on condition that the subject of recalcitrant substitutes would not be broached. City made six changes from the Champions League defeat and lost Sergio Agüero in the first half, so the winning margin was all the more impressive. "We know what we're blessed with here," Platt said. "We have a talented squad and one of the hardest things is just to pick 11 players. Most weeks we have to send very good players to the stands to watch the game.
