City aiming to become European champions in Istanbul Sheikh Mansour last attended a City match in 2010
Manchester City’s owner, Sheikh Mansour, is expected to attend the Champions League final on Saturday evening. Club sources have confirmed that the sheikh is due to be present in Istanbul as City face Internazionale, bidding to win Europe’s top club prize for the first time.
It would be only be the second competitive game he has attended since his investment vehicle, the Abu Dhabi United Group, purchased City in 2008. He missed the 2021 final that City lost to Chelsea in Porto, but has made arrangements to be in Turkey for the match that his club are favourites to win. Khaldoon al-Mubarak, City’s chairman, is also due to be at the showpiece match at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.
