The Champions League was won by Pep Guardiola's team in addition to the Premier League and FA Cup.



With a spirited 1-0 victory over Inter Milan, Rodri scored the game-winning goal to help Manchester City ultimately win the Champions League and complete the treble.


In the 68th minute of Saturday's grueling championship game at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, the midfielder rifled home as the Premier League champions City wore down the Italians.


The game was close, and City's efforts to win the trophy that has eluded them for so long took a significant hit when they lost Kevin De Bruyne to injury in the first half.



A resolute Inter team kept the prolific Erling Haaland quiet as well, but Rodri eventually broke the deadlock with a powerful strike when a Bernardo Silva pass was deflected into his path.


It marked the end of a historic season for City, who also claimed the FA Cup and its fifth consecutive Premier League crown. By winning all three of those trophies in the same season, they have joined rival Manchester United as the only teams to do it.


It meant success for club owner Sheikh Mansour, who was present in Istanbul for just his second game since acquiring the team in 2008 and elevating them to the highest table of the game.



Twelve years after his second of two Champions League victories as Barcelona's manager, manager Pep Guardiola might potentially celebrate Champions League victory once again.


City had been the clear favorite going into the game, but Inter proved they were more than just a match, going into the contest determined to handle pressure.


It was a sluggish beginning, and City lacked their customary luster.


Inter were more confident as a result, and Federico Dimarco launched a dangerous attempt after regaining control, but Marcelo Brozovic's shot was missed.
