Pep Guardiola’s side face Inter at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul on Saturday knowing a victory would see us lift the trophy for the first time and complete the Treble.
Murray, a fan of Hibernian and Arsenal, is a double Olympic Gold medallist and three-time Grand Slam winner having triumphed in the 2012 US Open as well as at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016.

Now 36, he has been a source of inspiration for many younger British players, including Stockport-born Broady.
The 29-year-old is a lifelong City fan and thanked Murray just last year for his advice when it came to getting the best out of himself on the court.
However, when it comes to football, Murray knows Broady will make the most of it should City win on Saturday.
“He would be unbearable,” he said.
Murray is bracing himself, stating that City can ‘absolutely’ win the game before going on to praise Pep Guardiola’s side.
“They’ve been brilliant and have got better as the season has progressed,” he stated.
“Haaland’s done pretty well for his first season hasn’t he? They have such a good squad of players.”
Murray was speaking ahead of the 2023 Davis Cup Finals Group Stage event at the AO Arena in Manchester later this year.
Manchester will become the fifth different UK city to host a stage of the men’s ‘World Cup of Tennis’ in the last 10 years, with Coventry, Glasgow, London and Birmingham having previously staged the event.
It is also the first time Manchester has hosted the Davis Cup since 1994.
And Murray is clearly excited about spending some time in the city.
“Manchester is a cool city known for football, music and it’s great they are hosting the tennis, it will be a really good atmosphere there for sure,” he finished.
From the 12 to 17 September, Great Britain will compete in Group B of the competition against Australia, France and Switzerland in a round-robin, with the top two teams in each group fighting for a place in the Final Eight which will take place in Malaga in November.
