Manchester City vs Inter Milan - LIVE!
Manchester City lifted the Champions League trophy for the first time and in doing so sealed the Treble as Rodri’s strike proved enough to beat Inter Milan. With the Premier League and FA Cup already in the bag, Pep Guardiola’s side arrived in Istanbul looking to finally secure European glory, one that would see them match Manchester United’s achievements in the 1998/99 season.
It was not a Champions League final to remember, Inter for much of the night successful in stifling City and defying any suggestion that this would be a procession for the favourites, but they could not maintain the effort for the full 90 minutes. Just over midway through the second-half, Bernardo Silva’s cut-back deflected out to the edge of the box and Rodri was there, running onto it and firing the finish into the bottom corner.
City rode their luck in the 20 minutes that remained, Federico Dimarco hitting the woodwork and Romelu Lukaku finding Ederson’s knee in his way in the closing stages, but they held firm to reach the summit of club football.
