ISTANBUL, Turkey – Manchester City has written a new chapter in its history books by clinching the Champions League trophy for the first time.
The Premier League giants defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in the final, held at Ataturk Olympic Stadium on Saturday, June 10, 2023.
The solitary goal by Spanish midfielder Rodri was enough to secure the prestigious European title for City.
Rodri’s calculated side-footed finish in the second half of the game overcame Inter’s robust defense.
Despite a near miss by Federico Dimarco and an impressive save by City’s goalkeeper Ederson from Romelu Lukaku, Manchester City managed to hold their lead till the final whistle.
This victory marks an impressive end to an already illustrious season for Manchester City, as they have now completed a treble.
After surpassing Arsenal to secure the league title and edging past local rivals Manchester United 1-0 in the FA Cup final, the Champions League triumph makes it a historic triple crown for the Manchester side.
With this remarkable achievement, Manchester City has emulated their city rivals’ feat from 1999, further intensifying the football rivalry in Manchester.
