Game is over and the final score is Man City 1-0 Inter. Here is the match report;

Rodri’s second half winner saw Manchester City crowned European champions for the first time with Pep Guardiola’s side overcoming Inter Milan 1-0 to win the Champions League.

Rodri's side-footed finish halfway through the last part broke Bury's opposition and however Federico Dimarco hit the crossbar with a header before Ederson saved shockingly from Romelu Lukaku, City clutched leave a mark on the world in the Ataturk Olympic Arena.

Having proactively upgraded Stockpile to hold the Chief Association prize and beaten Manchester Joined to lift the FA Cup at Wembley, this triumph saw them match the accomplishment of their city rivals in 1999. Pep Guardiola was in tears a short time later.

The Catalan mentor has won everything at City however this was the one they have been hanging tight for - heroes of Europe interestingly. For Guardiola, it closes his 12-year stand by to win the opposition for a third time frame as a mentor and a fourth time by and large.


How Man City made history in Turkey

It was tight and it was tense. Fraught with jeopardy, of course, but difficulty too. Made more difficult when Kevin De Bruyne trudged off injured in the first half, the second time in three seasons that he has departed a Champions League final with the game in the balance

Ederson looked nervy early on, showing moments of sloppiness that hinted at the scale of the occasion. Rodri was misplacing passes. Erling Haaland broke clear once but his shot was saved. It was City's best chance in the opening 45 minutes against an organised Inter.

The task did not become easier once Lukaku replaced Edin Dzeko and Inter could have led had Ederson not denied Lautaro Martinez from a narrow angle after Manuel Akanji inexplicably allowed the ball to run through. Guardiola was on his knees in despair.

It was joy soon after. Akanji slipped a pass through to Bernardo Silva and his cut-back deflected into the path of the oncoming Rodri. The midfielder measured his finish, bending it beyond two Inter defenders and into the corner of the net to break the deadlock.

Rodri had been left on the bench for the Champions League final against Chelsea in 2021. Not this time. His goal will rank among the most important in City's history, a moment to rival the Sergio Aguero title-winning strike of 11 years earlier. But it was not the end.

Dimarco capitalised on uncertainty inside the City box and his looping header beat Ederson only to come back off the crossbar. The second chance looked more straightforward but this time Dimarco's header struck the legs of Lukaku. A fortunate escape.

Lukaku had a clearer opportunity with just minutes remaining. Robin Gosens centred the ball and the striker just had to beat Ederson from close range. His header was firm but not in the corner, the goalkeeper producing an astonishing stop to keep the ball out.

It is a save that will be talked about for years. A night that will be talked about for years. Manchester City are champions of Europe.

Pep is the one who was criticised the most as a mancity manager. His ability to winning the EPL on regular basis was made like a failure by everyone hut here he iss One of the greatest Pep winning treble twice let that sinkkkk in Pep u deserve all the praises.

One fan felt Lukaku should have scored 'two or three times', while others added that he was a 'finished baller.'

City's victory means they have now matched their arch-rivals Man United in winning the three biggest trophies in one season.

It also means Manchester is just the second history in Europe, after Milan, to boast two Champions League winning clubs.
