Spaniard has now won two trebles following Man City’s Champions League triumph
He attended the Champions League final in Istanbul on Saturday, but prior to that Manchester City’s “mysterious benefactor” had only ever watched his team play once, said Sam Wallace in The Sunday Telegraph. Sheikh Mansour, a member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, must have been delighted he made the effort: he got to witness history being made. By beating Internazionale 1-0, City not only gained their first Champions League title, but became only the second English club, after Manchester United, to claim “the treble” (the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in a single season).
