When is the UEFA Super Cup and who will Man City face in the final?

Manchester City have qualified for the UEFA Super Cup after beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the final of the Champions League on Saturday night.

Rodri scored the all-important winner in Istanbul, curling home from just inside the box in the 68th minute. City relied on Ederson to ensure they lifted the European trophy for the first time.

First, the Brazilian produced a remarkable close-range stop to deny Romelu Lukaku's header before getting his fingertips to the ball in the last minute to seal City's victory. The Blues' Champions League win also secured the Treble after they had already clinched the Premier League and FA Cup during a remarkable season.

Potentially lost in the celebrations last night was the fact City have now qualified for the European Super Cup which pits the Champions League winners against the Europa League winners in an early-season encounter. MEN Sport has put together everything you need to know about the match.
