Manchester City fans have begun to party on the streets of Istanbul ahead of the side’s Champions League final clash with Inter Milan on Saturday.

The first wave of fans could be seen wandering around the centre of the city on Thursday, setting off sparklers and singing club songs.

They will soon be joined by thousands of other City fans, hoping to witness their team bring home its first Champions League trophy.

One City fan, Kevin Ryan (45) flew direct to the city from Manchester with his father, Liam (74). Speaking to the PA news agency in front of a giant inflatable Champions League cup in Istanbul’s Taksim Square, he said his plan was to “party” if Man City win the final.
