And he says the positive pre-match atmosphere was a big contributor to City’s fast start against United.
After making such a big contribution to the victory at Wembley, Gundogan wants the fans to bring the same energy to the Champions League when we face Inter with the chance of securing a historic Treble.
“Our fans are going to be so important for us again this weekend, as they always are,” he said.
“You only have to look at Saturday’s match at Wembley to show you how vital they are to our performance.
“Our fans were amazing from start to finish. Hearing them sing ‘Blue Moon’ in the tunnel, the deafening atmosphere as we walked out onto the pitch to a sea of blue, the Poznan as we waited for the match to start on the pitch, it was incredible and, in my opinion, helped us score after 13 seconds.
“To score that early was an unbelievable feeling and it felt like a reward for how amazing our fans were. Now we need them again in Istanbul.
“From the moment we wait in the tunnel, as we line-up on the pitch and during the whole game, we need that positive noise again. We know our fans will be there for us and we will give everything to make them proud.”
