Patrick Vieira on Man City's emergence as a global superpower and why they can't underestimate Inter
Daily Mail As Patrick Vieira rocks back into his chair at the UCL Champions Festival in Istanbul, there is both great pride and excitement at what is set to unfold over the next few days.
The former World Cup, European Championship, Premier League and Serie A champion is preparing to watch two of his former clubs - who he both served with much distinction - in action in the Champions League final at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium on Saturday night.
Vieira won three consecutive Serie A titles with Inter Milan during a highly decorated three and a half years at the club, while he helped Manchester City secure their first major trophy in 35 years with the 2011 FA Cup final win over Stoke, before going onto coach at the club for four years.
The two European giants are set to do battle on Saturday evening after energy-sapping campaigns that has City on the verge of becoming just the second English team ever to achieve a historic Treble after their arch-rivals United in 1999.
For me, its about trying to enjoy the three days I will spend in Istanbul and like any other fan, I want to watch a good game of football, Vieira exclusively told Mail Sport having partnered with travel expert and UEFA Champions League Official Supplier Expedia Live ahead of this years final.
