ISTANBUL: In the presence of the UAE leadership, Manchester City joined footballing royalty as they became the kings of Europe.

Finally, they had their Champions League — the trophy craved by their Abu Dhabi owners, manager Pep Guardiola, players and fans.

A tense 1-0 win over Inter Milan in Istanbul confirmed their status as Europe’s elite club for the first time — and sealed a famous Treble, having already won the Premier League and FA Cup this season.

Watching in the stands at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium were Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, president of the UAE and ruler of Abu Dhabi, and his brother Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, deputy prime minister of the UAE, whose 2008 takeover transformed City.
