Quoted in the Daily Mail, Tevez said:
"I must admit I did believe I would get a different reception from the United supporters.
"Initially everything was positive and I was greeted by my former team-mates and United staff without any problems at all.
"But as soon as I entered the field the atmosphere was very different. It was hard to take because previously I was always wanted by those people."
Similarly, Manchester City's Garrido was taken aback by the atmosphere at the ground:
"I have been in England for two seasons and this was the match with more fanaticism than any other."
"I know other derbies but this atmosphere was incredible, with insults flying as soon as we arrived at the stadium."
