UCL Final: Man City Owner Sheikh Mansour to Pay for Fans’ Trip

Manchester City and Chelsea are each allowed to take 6000 fans to the all-Premier League UCL final in Porto.

The Champions League final was to take place at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul but it was changed after the UK government placed Turkey on the “red list” countries and urged fans not to travel for the fixture.

Porto was selected despite an attempt by the UEFA to move the UCL final match to Wembley stadium.

Speaking about the initiative, Manchester City owner said, “Pep and the team have had such a remarkable season and their reaching to the Champions League final after a very challenging year represents a truly historic moment for the club.”

City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said, “The challenges faced by supporters ahead of this final are multiple, both in financial and logistical terms.”
