Manchester City's long wait for European glory came to a dramatic end as they beat Inter Milan 1-0 to win the Champions League for the first time and complete a rare treble in Istanbul on Saturday.
The match turned out to be a lot harder than City's fans had anticipated, especially after star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne went off injured. It took a Rodri goal after 68 minutes to crack Inter's resistance.
Even then City's supporters could not relax as Inter threatened to drag a tense final into extra time with goalkeeper Ederson making two superb late saves.
An eruption of joy greeted the final whistle with City's players sprinting towards their fans in the Ataturk Stadium.
"You have to be lucky ... It was written in the stars. It belongs to us," said City manager Pep Guardiola. "With this competition, the treble is so difficult."

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
