Man City fans clash in stands as supporter blasts ‘tourists’ for making him sit at final before man swipes at his phone
MANCHESTER CITY fans were all smiles after the Champions League final – but a supporter seating row erupted mid-match.
Before Pep Guardiola‘s troops secured a historic treble, a group of City supporters were embroiled in an expletive-filled row over standing.
An older man and two kids exchanged insults after the former was told not to stand for the duration of the match.
In the clip, the angry Manc said: “Here we go.
“We’ve gotta sit down because of all these f***ing tourists around here.
“We’ve gotta sit down because of these f***ing tourists. It’s a f***ing disgrace.”
Seconds after voicing his displeasure at being told to take his seat, the older bloke had to stop his phone from being swiped out of his hand.
He said: “Trying to smash my phone. What are you going to do, try to smash my phone?
“You’re going to do nothing, w*****s. Pathetic.”
The clip quickly went viral and divided opinion among footie fans, one of whom tweeted: “Seats are for sitting.”

Another said: “Imagine sitting down watching the Champions League Final.”
And another said: “Little kids could be in the rows behind him.
“The front rows should sit down as if they stand up everyone behind has to stand up to see which often means the little ones cannot see. So sit down.”
One remarked: “His seat, his space. Do as he pleases. Who’s sitting down in a champions league final anyway?”
Another chimed in: “Unbelievable.
“I remember Man City were a proper club.
“Great support even in the lower divisions. This is the price of modern success.”
City finally got their hands on the Champions League trophy thanks to a 1-0 win over Italian giants Inter Milan.
A second-half strike from Rodri saw the Blue half of Manchester finally get their hands on the most coveted trophy in club football.
And it ended Guardiola’s 12-year wait to once again guide a team to European glory.
The Spaniard said after the final interview: “I’m tired, calm and satisfied. It’s so difficult to win.
“It was written in the stars. It belongs to us.”
