Manchester City won their first Champions League title in their history on Saturday and secured a treble of trophies by beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the final. Going into the final, Pep Guardiola's men were huge favourites but Inter Milan rode their luck and missed some guilt-edged chances. But it was Rodri's sweetly-struck goal that 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. Inter had kept City goalless in a cagey first half marked by the injury-enforced exit of Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne in the 36th minute, to be replaced by Phil Foden.
