PORTO, Portugal - Victory for Manchester City over Chelsea in the Champions League final in Porto on Saturday could have an impact well beyond sporting pride.
PSG fell at the final hurdle last season, losing to Bayern Munich, leaving their Qatari owners still searching for that defining trophy that seals status in the game's elite. City had a tradition of their own - they were one of England's top teams in the late 1960's - but as recently as nine years before the Abu Dhabi group took control, they had been languishing in the third tier.While United have struggled for success since Ferguson's departure in 2013, City have won five of the last nine Premier League titles, including three of the last four.
As United fans would be quick to point out, while they have won the European Cup/Champions League three-times City have never been European champions.
