Man City determined to telecast Champions League final for local fans

Manchester City are set to broadcast the Champions League final for fans who cannot go to Istanbul.

The Citizens are in their second European Cup final in their history, having lost the previous one to Chelsea.

As they prepare to take on Internazionale in two weeks, manager Pep Guardiola hopes his side can finally end their long wait for European silverware.

City have been given around 20,000 tickets for the final in Istanbul, meaning many die hard fans cannot go to the game.

The club's home stadium is already hosting a concert on that weekend, which means they cannot show the game there.

Instead, City will fill out the Depot Mayfield that has a capacity of only 6,000 people.
