Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United won the treble in 1999 and until Saturday, the only English team in football history to do so before Pep Guardiola did the same with Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola has revealed he received a text of good luck from Sir Alex Ferguson just hours before his Manchester side won the treble.
Rodri's second-half strike won the Champions League trophy for the first time at the Etihad, as the Premier League and FA Cup champions made history at Ataturk Stadium. City had to use their luck to prevail in a battle of attrition with the Italians.
Federico Dimarco hit the bar shortly after Rodri made 30,000 Man City fans swoon - then saw team-mate Romelu Lukaku. And Ederson brilliantly saved Lukaku's header in the 89th minute. City equaled Ferguson's record with Manchester United in 1999 and Guardiola said:
"I was delighted to receive a text from Sir Alex Ferguson on my phone this morning. I was very emotional. I was delighted to be sitting next to Sir Alex. Winning the treble was difficult, but it was written on it. the stars that we will win this season.
"This trophy is very difficult to win. This contest is one (toss one) coin. But now it belongs to us. We knew it was going to be difficult and we were nervous in the first half. It's a matter of patience - and luck with Ederson in the end.

“Motivation came from winning the Premier League and the FA Cup and now we have that. I am tired, calm and satisfied. I don't have the energy to think about next season, when we start all over again. We will be partying at the hotel with family and friends and on Monday the parade will take place in Manchester."
Match winner Rodri was named man of the match - despite admitting he played "slut". The Spaniard told BT Sport:
"My performance in the first half wasn't good enough - I played badly. I was emotional. It was a dream come true." All the fans who have been waiting for me I don't know how many years. They deserve it, we deserve it.

"It's tough, but finals are like that. You can't expect to play as well as always. The emotion and the tension is always there. We competed like animals and we wanted more. All the players who have helped the club grow, like [Sergio] Aguero, [David] Silva and [Vincent] Kompany, this shirt is for them."
Jack Grealish echoed Rodri's sentiments by saying:
"I was terrible today. I don't care. Winning the treble, with this group of players, is special. Anyone who knows me knows what kind of family I am and how much I love football. Come on, that's my whole life."
