Sheikh Mansour to attend Champions League final

Mansour has only seen Man City play once since buying them in 2008

Since buying the club in 2008, the vice-president of the United Arab Emirates has only seen City once in a competitive fixture, against Liverpool in 2010.

However the Daily Mail have reported that Mansour has flown into Turkey to watch on as Man City could complete a historical treble.

A win against Inter Milan in Istanbul would see the Premier League champions become the first English side to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League since Manchester United in 1999.

Mansour will be alongside City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and could potentially meet Pep Guardiola and the playing squad for the first time.

Under his guidance, City have established themselves as one of football's powerhouses given their financial muscle and have won seven league titles in his 12 years as owner. Five of those have come in the last six years.

It will also be the first time that Mansour will watch some of his biggest purchases, including Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.

Ahead of the game, City boss Guardiola admitted that it would be a "dream" to make history.

"It's absolutely a dream. Absolutely," he said.

"To achieve things always have to have the correct portion of obsession, desire. Obsession is a positive word. It's a dream for all of us."
