Șeicul lui Manchester City le va achita fanilor toate cheltuielile pentru deplasarea la finala UCLProprietarul lui Manchester City, şeicul Mansour bin Zayed al Nayan, va plăti călătoria fanilor care vor asista la finala Ligii Campionilor la fotbal, pe 29 mai, la Porto, a anunţat clubul englez. Finala ar fi trebuit să aibă loc la Istanbul, însă a fost mutată în Portugalia, unde situaţia sanitară este mai bună. Pe lângă plata biletelor, fanii ar fi trebuit să suporte și costurile pentru testarea PCR obligatorie, ceea ce ar fi făcut aproape imposibilă deplasarea. Această iniţiativă vine la circa o lună după ce Manchester City a participat la proiectul eşuat al unei Super Ligi europene disidente, proiect care a stârnit nemulţumirea fanilor celor şase cluburi engleze implicate. City a fost printre primele cluburi care au renunţat la acest proiect, la mai puţin de 48 de ore după ce el a fost prezentat.
