Sheikh Mansour to attend Champions League final for SECOND Man City match in 15 years

Sheikh Mansour UEFA Champions League Manchester City Pep Guardiola Inter Milan EPL Istanbul

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour will be at tonight's Champions League final in Istanbul.

The Sheikh, who bought City in 2008, has only attended one competitive game since taking over the club - a 3-0 home win over Liverpool in 2010. But the Sheikh has flown into Istanbul by private jet to watch City try to create history by winning a first Champions League title to clinch an historic Treble.

Pep Guardiola's side have already bagged the Premier League title and FA Cup, and can emulate local rivals Manchester United's Treble of 1999 with victory over Inter Milan at the Ataturk Stadium. The Sheikh, who will attend the match along with City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, is expected to meet up with Guardiola and his players after the game, before jetting back to Abu Dhabi.
