Leeds United Manchester City Istanbul Kevin Speight Whites

A pair of Manchester City fans have been praised by Leeds United supporters for paying a touching tribute to Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight in Istanbul ahead of this weekend's Champions League final.

City face Internazionale on Saturday and the supporters' classy gesture saw them lay down flowers, a Leeds United scarf and photographs of the pair of Whites fans who were tragically murdered in Taksim Square prior to Leeds' UEFA Cup semi-final against Galatasaray in April 2000.

This tribute was warmly received on social media by Leeds fans, who praised the City supporters ahead of their side's attempt to win their first Champions League title and with it, a landmark treble.
