Manchester City won the UEFA Champions League for the first time: beat Inter Milan 1–0 in the final

Manchester City has won the UEFA Champions League for the first time. Manchester City beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the final match played in Istanbul on Saturday. Rodri scored the only goal for Manchester City in the 68th minute. At the same time, in the first half of the match, the main midfielder of the team, Kevin De Bruyne was injured.
Inter reached the final of the league for the sixth time and City for the second time. Earlier, Manchester City had to face defeat in the 2021 final. Chelsea beat City 1–0 in the 2021 final.
Manchester City became the second English team to win the Treble. Manchester United has achieved this feat before Manchester United. A treble involves a team winning three cups.
In addition to the Champions League, Manchester City has won the English Premier League and the FA Cup. At the same time, even the Spanish team that won the UEFA Champions League 14 times could not achieve this feat. Although the Spanish team Barcelona has done this feat 2 times. So far 8 teams from Europe have won the treble. Manchester City is the eighth team to win the treble.
Manchester City captain Elkay Gundoan said after winning the Champions League, we have made history. We are very happy. Can't describe it in words. The final was difficult for both teams. Both had 50-50 percent chances of winning. Today the difference of just 1 goal decided the match in our favor. This has happened many times in the final of the Champions League.
This is the 31st season of the world's biggest football league 'Champions League'. The league was started in 1955–56. The league was then named the European Champions Cup, organized by the European Union of Football Associations (UEFA). In 1992 the name was changed to UEFA Champions League. This season, 32 teams participated in it. These teams were divided into 8 groups.
