Manchester City’s season of glory and dominance ended with a historic treble after a 1–0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
Fresh off its fifth Premier League title in six years and last weekend’s FA Cup victory over rival Manchester United, Man City became just the second club to secure the treble in English soccer history, joining Manchester United and its 1999 triumph.
After years of investment and domestic success, City arrived in its first Champions League final in 2021 but lost to Chelsea in a lethargic 1–0 effort. But City returned to the biggest stage in European soccer with a new weapon in 22-year-old forward Erling Haaland, who broke the Premier League single-season goalscoring record with 36 goals in his first season.
