The Citizens defeated Inter 1-0 in the season's championship game, ending their arduous quest to eventually rule Europe.
At the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, the Nerazzurri made life difficult for Man City throughout the game, but they were defeated in the 68th minute by a tremendous strike from Rodri.
Man City has now joined Manchester United, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, and Chelsea as the sixth English team to win the European Cup.
But Guardiola joked that the club's new goal is to dethrone Real Madrid, who have won the competition 14 times, at his post-game press conference.
Just 13 Champions Leagues are in front of them or behind them. Real Madrid, take caution, since we are approaching," Guardiola said in jest.
Therefore, if you err just a little, we will catch you.
Over the past two seasons, Man City and Real Madrid have engaged in a number of memorable Champions League matches.
In the first leg of their semi-final in 2021/22, Guardiola's team defeated Los Blancos 4-3, but they were defeated in bizarre circumstances back at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Man City took the lead on the night thanks to Riyad Mahrez, but Rodrygo quickly tied the game up on the night and overall. Real Madrid advanced to the final, where they defeated Liverpool, thanks to a late penalty goal from Karim Benzema.
This season's narrative was entirely different. Vinicius Junior and Kevin De Bruyne both made nearly identical screamers as the two teams competed.
At the end of June, Gundogan's contract will expire, and he may leave the Etihad Stadium for free.
The midfielder has been courted by Barcelona throughout the 2022–2023 season, and 90min knows they are confident in their ability to secure his services.
However, Gundogan's first suitor was Arsenal, whose manager Mikel Arteta was eager for a reunion with the German after the two had previously collaborated at Man City.
In recent weeks, PSG has also been linked to a bid for Gundogan.
When Man City and Inter faced off in the Champions League final on Saturday, Mertesacker, who once shared the field with Gundogan for the German national team, served as a ZDF analyst. Rodri's goal in the second half, together with captain Gundogan's strike, gave the Citizens a 1-0 victory.
