Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City win the Champions League final thanks to Rodri’s 68th-minute goal; the second English club to win the treble.
Ederson’s dramatic late save from Romelu Lukaku helps City make history in Istanbul
Manchester City completed the treble with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul.
Rodri’s side-footed finish midway through the second half broke Inter’s resistance and though Federico Dimarco hit the crossbar with a header before Ederson saved sensationally from Romelu Lukaku, City held on to make history in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.
Having already overhauled Arsenal to retain the Premier League trophy and beaten Manchester United to lift the FA Cup at Wembley, this victory saw them match the achievement of their city rivals in 1999. Pep Guardiola was in tears afterward.
The Catalan coach has won it all at City but this was the one they have been waiting for – champions of Europe for the first time. For Guardiola, it ends his 12-year wait to win the competition for a third time as a coach and a fourth time overall.
