Thousands of Man City fans party on the streets of Istanbul ahead of Champions League final against Inter Milan... and Blues supporters are praised for touching tribute to two Leeds fans murdered in Turkish city

Thousands more Manchester City fans are making their way to Istanbul as the club attempts to clinch a historic Treble by winning the Champions League.

Twenty thousand have tickets for the game though Manchester City, with a similar number going to Italy's Inter Milan but around 5,000 ticketless Blues supporters are expected to make the trip.

Flights from Manchester, Stansted and Heathrow were touching down every hour at the main airport in Istanbul which is around an hour from the city centre - but the appalling traffic can make the journey twice as long.
