When Manchester City take to the field in the Champions League final this evening, they will do so on the cusp of completing a historic treble.
It's a prospect many Blues could only have dreamed of when the club was relegated to the third tier of English football 25 years ago.

Tens of thousands of Blues have flown out to Turkey to watch Pep Guardiola's men face Inter Milan at Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium tonight. City go into the tie as heavy favourites, with many fans and pundits expecting them to match United's historic 1999 haul of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
