Pep Guardiola gave an emotional interview on live TV after securing his first Champions League title in 12 years: “This f***ing trophy is so difficult to win."
City edged out Inter 1-0 in an uneventful Champions League final in which Rodri’s second half strike was enough to separate the two sides. It was an attritional game where the Italian side’s tactics nullified Guardiola’s side.
The tight nature of the game favoured Inter more than City, who managed just seven attempts on goal and four on target – compared to 14 and five for their opponents respectively. It was far from a vintage City performance, but finals are remembered for the results and not performances.
