On 5/4/21 at 7:01 AM EDT
Manchester City may have been made to wait to be confirmed Premier League champions at the weekend, but Pep Guardiola s team can make history on Tuesday and secure a spot in the Champions League final for the first time.
The Premier League champions-elect came from behind to win 2-1 in Paris a week ago, courtesy of goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez and is on the brink of a maiden appearance on European soccer s biggest stage.
City would have won a third Premier League title in four seasons had Liverpool defeated Manchester United on Sunday, only for the game between English soccer s two biggest clubs to be postponed as United fans protested against the Glazer family s ownership of the club.
When the Abu Dhabi United Group, owned by
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi Royal Family and a politician in the UAE, purchased
Manchester City in 2008, they signalled their intentions by signing
Robinho for 43 million euros.
It was a sign that the Citizens intended to move out from the shadow of their neighbours and make an assault on Europe as well. We had a plan, explained City chairman
Khaldoon Al Mubarak. The first year was about learning, the second we had to take it to the next level and reach the Champions League and improve the club s structures.
