Manchester City capped off their historic season, beating Inter Milan 1-0 to claim the club’s first-ever Champions League troph and completing the second English Premier League treble.
City entered Saturday's final seeking their first-ever Champions League trophy. Coming off a 2-1 FA Cup win last weekend, they were also playing for a chance to match Manchester United's 1999 squad as the only English teams to complete the treble -- winning the league, the league cup and the European Cup.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
Inter, meanwhile, were heavy underdogs against the English giants but didn't show signs of intimidation early on. They were strong on the ball and kept City from settling into the possession-dominant play they've mastered the past seven seasons under Guardiola. City's problems went from bad to worse when midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was forced to the sideline with an injury in the 36th minute. This loss of one of their key distributors was reminiscent of the 2021 Champions League Finals -- City's only other appearance -- when De Bruyne went off with an injury early in the second half and ultimately lost 1-0 to Chelsea.
Fortunately for City, they got an answer from a pair of veteran distributors when Bernardo Silva's cross ricocheted to Rodri who slotted the ball right past Inner goalkeeper Andre Onana.
