Before the Champions League match between Manchester City and Club Brugge, a merchandise kiosk caught fire outside the Etihad Stadium, prompting an evacuation of the area. The fire broke out shortly before 6 PM, halting a pre-match entertainment event that featured player interviews. Stewards evacuated fans quickly, and fire services managed to control the blaze. Although the stadium reopened shortly after, access to some areas remained restricted. The match was set to proceed as scheduled at 8 PM GMT despite the incident.
According to local reports, the team used a different entrance to access the stadium with the West Stand reception closed.
Stewards moved fans away before fire services arrived on the scene, with the remainder of the pre-match show cancelled.
