Ahead of the Champions League quarter -final second leg with Bayern Munich, Manchester City took a delegation of Club executives to meet a group of Manchester City supporters in order to lay the scarves of both Manchester City and Manchester United at the Manchesterplatz memorial on Wednesday morning.

Manchesterplatz is a memorial stone etched with the names of the 23 people who perished in the Munich Air Disaster on 6 February 1958.

Eight United players were among the fatalities as was former City goalkeeper Frank Swift, then working as a journalist.

Chief Football Operations Officer Omar Berrada, Chief Communications Officer Simon Heggie and Managing Director (Operations) Danny Wilson attended the memorial along with a number of City supporters.

Manchester United erected the memorial on the location of the accident in 2004 as a way of thanking the people of Munich for their care and support and to also have a physical location for people to pay their respects.
