City superfan Ricky Hatton is among the thousands of Blues who have travelled out to the Turkish capital for tonight's Champions League final. The former boxer was pictured on the streets of Istanbul enjoying a song and a dance as City supporters gear up for a historic evening.
The Hitman has followed his team across Europe including in Madrid for the Champions League semi-final, and would not miss out on the chance to attend such a huge night in the club's history. "I went out to Madrid at the Bernabeu, which was fantastic," Ricky told the Daily Star.
"We've come a long way, City. When you think that we were in the League One a few years ago, to be playing a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid and beating them 4-1 on aggregate, it's crazy!
