eurosport.com

Pep Guardiola is the master of Europe once again, 12 years since he could last lay claim to that title, after guiding his Manchester City team to the Champions League title in a tense 1-0 win over Inter at Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium.

Guardiola, already twice a European champion as manager of Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, has had a long wait for this third title.

Ad After defeating Manchester United for the second time at Wembley in 2011, Guardiola reached four consecutive semi-finals with Barcelona and Bayern Munich before a last 16 exit in his first season at City in 2017.

Three straight quarter-final exits followed before the 2021 defeat to Chelsea in the final. Last season saw yet another semi-final defeat, this time to old nemesis Real Madrid, before this season's title was finally won.
