A packed City of Manchester Stadium has been added to Google's 360-degree Street View mapping service.
The internet giant's pedal-powered trike - fitted with a panoramic camera - completed a circuit of Manchester City's ground minutes before the Manchester derby kicked off.
It is the first time Google has collected imagery from a full stadium, but it took the opportunity to do so following an invitation from Manchester City.
The thousands of images are stitched together digitally to create an interactive 360-degree composition.
Google's software automatically recognises faces and blurs them to preserve anonymity. It will have its work cut out on Saturday afternoon - there were more than 45,000 fans inside the stadium.
The trike also lapped the exterior of the stadium before kick-off, capturing some of the atmosphere as fans made their way to the game.
The imagery will be available on Google Maps and will also be embedded in the Manchester City official website.
Google has previously used its trike to capture 360-degree views of Stonehenge, National Trust properties and even the Alton Towers theme park.
