The Sun Newspaper finally emerged from the gloom, returning to its usual tabloid reporting.
It was they who, through the tracking of Adriano's father's whereabouts, scooped this major news.
Little did they know, quite the discovery awaited.
Not just Adriano's father.
Ribery, Tu Lei, Maicon, Chiellini, Thiago Silva... the whole team!
The families of the entire team were converging on Gothenburg, Sweden.
Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, the venue for this year's European Union Cup final!
The hotels where these player's families stayed were all the same.
And very close to the hotel used by Manchester City.
The hotel was also booked by Manchester City, exclusively for the use of the player's relatives and friends.
Relatives of stars such as Baggio and Desailly were also invited.
Under such circumstances, if Manchester City were to fail to win the championship,
they would become the biggest joke in the world.
Therefore, as soon as the news broke out, it shocked the world.
