Man City sheikh to attend UCL final, watch his team after 13 years

Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour will attend Saturday's Champions League final against Inter Milan. This will be the second match he has attended since buying the English club in 2008.

Mansour, who will be accompanied by chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak, had not attended a Manchester City match for 13 years in the 3-0 win over Liverpool in 2010.

The owner bought City in 2008 and has turned them into one of the best teams in Europe. He has spent more than €1 billion on new signings and has won seven Premier League titles, three FA Cups, six Carabao Cups and Champions League qualification since 2012.

Pep Guardiola's side reached their first Champions League semi-finals in 2016 and their first final in 2021. This year they are aiming for a remarkable treble and to win the trophy in Europe's biggest competition for the first time.
