Working as a golf manager in Dubai, Tom Nicholson arrived in Istanbul with his brother Alex to watch the final."The event seems great. We just landed this morning [Thursday], so we've just come for a walk now. The people seem friendly. The weather seems nice," he said."We never used to win much, so we're used to getting beat. So we're quite humble, I think, as a fan base.
Caramelo was at Estadio Azteca for the 1986 World Cup final in Mexico City when Argentina defeated West Germany 3-2. "It's going to be a tough match. Manchester City is in top form this year. It's going to be a tough one. But I think we have the defence to be able to lock them down and be able to keep it close and that five defenders in the back are going to do well versus Manchester City.""The event's great. Everything's been perfect so far. I got here pretty easily. Everything's organised.
