[Champions again in 2012]

I'm one of the lucky 10k and I really can’t wait to get back in to the stadium. I had no chance of Champions league tickets but delighted and privileged to be there to say goodbye to another legend and see the team lift the trophy. Also the first game back with supporters since Colin Bell passed away so expecting a tribute /mark of respect to the king

Missing out on the ballot last week was horrible. I’m still gutted a week later. Enjoy all you lucky ones !

Same here mate.

I don't think it's a given that Agüero will start but I think he'll get at least twenty minutes. Pep's a guy with a lot of respect for what club legends mean to fans. He'll want Sergio to get his moment in the final game.

I feel privileged that I'll be at the game later. Would be nice to see Aguero play, better still score.

Come on City!

Have a good day today everybody who is going.
Be loud and proud, and cherish the moment.

I'm hoping to hear a fair few renditions of "We'll drink a drink a drink to Colin the king the king the king" around the stadium today, especially when his son walks out with the trophy. I've noticed in stadiums with fans some appear to gather closer together to sing, I'm hoping the stewards employed aren't too fanatical with the rules today given we are outside with plenty of fresh air.

Edited to add........stadium announcers don't drown us out with ear splitting noise, let us salute the players our own way for a while.

Whether you are going the game or watching on TV, enjoy the celebrations today. Your team are worthy champions and a pleasure to watch, fully deserved.

First time I’ve seen that and I got a bit choked up. Remember being with my dad in the Legends lounge and him totally starstruck and so happy to be able to chat with his idol Colin Bell, never seen him like that with anyone. Very happy memories. Wish I could be today. Enjoy it everyone, amazing time to be a Blue, just chill out if you’re on the match day thread. Every City player is one of us.

Sadly we didnt get tickets, have a great day all bules that were lucky enough to get some. Give Sergio the send off he so richly deserves.

Dreadful lol

Terrible isn’t it.

they really need to employ new people. I had a look on the club shop yesterday as I wanted to get a PL winners t-shirt or an Aguero 93:20 one, but their ranges are all absolutely crap.
