Sheikh Mansour, the multibillionaire owner of Manchester City, has traveled to Istanbul for the Champions League final as his team prepares to play Inter Milan.
City, who are aiming for a treble, will take against Inter at the Ataturk Stadium in an effort to win the Champions League for the first time ever.
According to sources, Sheikh Mansour will attend a City game for the first time in 13 years, which highlights the importance of the event.
In 2010, he last appeared during a 3-0 home victory over Liverpool. Amazingly, despite the team having participated in multiple finals since his ownership in 2008 and the incredible 17 titles they have amassed, the Emirati king has only ever attended one City game.
Sheikh Mansour reportedly flew into Turkey on a private jet due to the significance of Saturday’s highlight event.
City has the chance to not only claim their first European championship but also leave their name on the annals of English football.
Currently, Manchester United is the only team in the nation to have achieved the triple, which they did in 1999. Pep Guardiola’s team might make their own historic moment now that they have already won the Premier League and the FA Cup, a feat that Sheikh Mansour definitely hopes will be accomplished.
