The Melbourne Cricket Ground can be an intimidating place at the best of times – just ask England’s cricketers.
If the setting wasn’t daunting enough for Raheem Sterling ahead of Manchester City’s game against Real Madrid, boos could be heard around the 100,000-seater venue when the England man’s name was read out.
There's 99,382 packed into the @MCG tonight for this one. #ICCMELB

We know there are a lot of Liverpool fans in Australia, and it seems a fair few are still up in arms about the transfer saga that preceded his move to City.
At least Sterling’s got former team-mate Mario Balotelli fighting his corner.
