ISTANBUL: Manchester City won the first Champions League in their history on Saturday and secured a treble of trophies by beating Inter Milan 1-0.
In a far closer match than many pundits had predicted, Rodri’s sweetly-struck goal proved the difference for Abu Dhabi-backed City, who have already won the Premier League and FA Cup this season.
Rodri sidefooted in on 68 minutes after Bernardo Silva pulled back a cross that fell perfectly for the unmarked Spaniard at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium.
It sealed the third Champions League for City manager Pep Guardiola, who won it twice with Barcelona. The outcome could have been different had Romelu Lukaku’s header not been stopped by Ederson’s leg minutes later.
