Manchester City defeated Inter Milan 1-0 on Saturday in Istanbul's Ataturk Olimpiyat Stadium to claim the Champions League trophy for the first time. With a lone goal from Rodri in the 68th minute, the Premier League and FA Cup champions completed a trifecta of championships this year. Rodri gathered Bernardo Silva's cutback and blasted the ball through the congested penalty area to give City the victory. After scoring he ran towards City's supporters and slid on his knees in celebration, the relief on his face obvious.
Ilkay Gundogan, the captain of City, remarked, "Today we achieved history. "We were aware that the treble was on everyone's lips. Although there was pressure, this team is designed to handle it as effectively as possible. After Manchester United in 1999, City is the only English club to sweep both the major domestic trophies and the Champions League.
