Huge fire in Istanbul sends smoke billowing over Champions League final stadium ahead of Man City vs Inter Milan

Smoke from a large fire in Istanbul could be seen above the Ataturk Olympic Stadium ahead of the Champions League final.

Manchester City take on Inter on Saturday evening as they look to win the famous European trophy for the first time in their history as well as secure a historic treble. Pep Guardiola's side defeated Manchester United in the FA Cup final last week after wrapping up the Premier League title.

However, ahead of kick-off, a huge fire in a five-story building in Istanbul sent big and dark plumes of smoke into the otherwise clear blue sky. Video footage captured the smoke making its way to the stadium ahead of kick-off. The smoke can be seen rising above one of the touchline stands and drifting its way towards one of the goal ends.
