Man City owner Sheikh Mansour attends first match since Liverpool clash 13 years ago

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour attended his first game in nearly 13 years as the Citizens defeated Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday night - his first since Roy Hodgson's Liverpool travelled to the Etihad in August 2010

Lining up against Serie A heavyweights, Pep Guardiola's side righted their wrongs from the 2021 final defeat to Chelsea as Rodri's goal in the second half secured a first Champions League triumph and also a remarkable treble.

For the showpiece event at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, Mansour, who bought the club in 2008 for £200m, was in attendance in what was just his second-ever Manchester City game. His first came 13 years ago at the Etihad Stadium as Roberto Mancini's side defeated an underwhelming Liverpool side, managed by Hodgson, 3-0 after goals from Gareth Barry (2) and Carlos Tevez.
