MANCHESTER CITY COMPLETE HISTORIC TREBLE WITH CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SUCCESS

Manchester City have won the UEFA Champions League after defeating Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul.

Rodrigo’s goal sealed the victory on a glorious night for the football club, which saw scenes of joy among City fans inside the Ataturk Stadium and around the world.

The win over Inter completes a historic treble, with our European title joining our Premier League and FA Cup triumphs.

It is only the tenth time a European team has won the treble, with City joining Celtic (1967), Ajax (1972), PSV Eindhoven (1988), Manchester United (1999), Barcelona (2009 and 2015), Inter Milan (2010), and Bayern Munich (2013 and 2020).

Since joining the club in 2016, manager Pep Guardiola has won 14 major trophies, including five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, one Champions League, and two Community Shields, and he becomes the first manager to win two European Trebles (Barcelona 2009 and City 2023).

Captain Ilkay Gundogan, who accepted the trophy in Istanbul, said the victory was the result of years of hard work and dedication.

“This is a really proud moment for everyone at this football club,” he said. “We work so hard every single day, and we have wanted to win this trophy for so long.”

“The Champions League is a beautiful competition, and we are all incredibly happy to have won. This team deserves the highest recognition and winning the Champions League elevates us to the very top of the game.”

“And to win the Treble is something amazing. It is the ultimate achievement for any club team, and we have done it. It reflects the quality we have in our squad, but it also shows how dedicated we are.”

“I want to thank the Manchester City fans for their support this season. I can honestly say that we could not have done this without them. They have been amazing, and they deserve this moment.”

Manchester City will now enter the 2023/24 season with the chance to compete in the European Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time, as well as the opportunity to become the first team in English football history to win four league titles in a row.
