'This one was for you dad': Manchester City defender Nathan Ake emotionally reveals that his father passed away a few minutes after he scored his first Champions League goal against RB Leipzig on Wednesday

Nathan Ake has emotionally revealed that his father Moise passed away on Wednesday night just minutes after he scored for Manchester City in the Champions League.

Holland international Ake, who recently left his national team camp due to personal and private circumstances, scored his first Champions League goal as he opened the scoring in a 6-3 win against RB Leipzig last night.

But on Thursday, the 26-year-old posted a touching tribute to his father, Moise Ake, uploading a photo of him scoring at the Etihad followed by a photo of himself with his father to the right of him.
