'I remember when we were in Barcelona, we were very close friends,' said Zabaleta, as reported in the Mirror.
'We had known each other for a number of years - I was just starting out at Espanyol and Lionel was at Barca.
'When I signed for City, I think two days later the news broke that Sheikh Mansour had bought the club and Lionel always recalls that I joined at such a fantastic time.
'He asked me a lot about City, but I couldn’t tell him much because I didn’t know much myself.
It’s something we often talk about, plus the fact that I’m still here.'
Zabaleta signed for Man City in 2008 and is a fan favourite at the Etihad.
