Suffice to say there weren't exactly many Liverpool supporters enthused at the final whistle sounding at the Ataturk Stadium on Saturday evening.
The Manchester City project was brought to an inevitable - if somewhat surprisingly belated - conclusion as the moneybags Etihad outfit won the Champions League for the first time by beating Inter Milan.
They will now be favourites to next season move another step nearer Liverpool's English record of six European Cups, with the Reds - who will instead play in the Europa League - unable to stop the relentless Pep Guardiola machine.
