Schmeichel expressed that neither side made a breakthrough on Wednesday night, with the lack of interest from the crowd only adding to the dull affair.

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel says Manchester City's home ground was lifeless as they were held to a 0-0 draw against Champions League opponents Inter Milan.AdvertisementAdvertisement

“I don't think it's a good draw," said the Dane. "I thought it was a really, really boring game. I'm sorry to say that. I thought Inter did really well in stopping Man City.  

“I like good football and I like excitement from the crowd. It was dead. The Etihad today was absolutely dead. The only people we could hear were the Inter supporters who were quite good. But there's no atmosphere in the Etihad today. 

“Normally you'd think "well, a big European night", but it didn't happen for them.”
