Manchester City beat Inter Milan to win first Champions League title
Istanbul. Rodri’s goal helped Manchester City beat Inter Milan 1-0 here on Saturday to win the Champions League football tournament title for the first time. Spain’s Rodri scored the only goal of the match in the 68th minute at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympiat Stadium to give Manchester City their first ever top European club football title. Team manager Pep Guardiola said after the team’s title win, “It was written in destiny.” It’s ours.” Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan made City one of the world’s richest clubs overnight 15 years ago, but it took a long time for the team to win the Champions League .
It was the final frontier for Guardiola’s team. The team completed a hat-trick of titles after winning the Premier League and FA Cup titles in the current season. With this title win, Guardiola’s claim to be the best coach of all time has also been strengthened. This is his third Champions League title and 30th major title. Guardiola has completed the title hat-trick for the second time in the season. Earlier in 2009, he had done this with Barcelona. City thus became only the second English club to win all three major titles in the same season. Manchester United had earlier achieved this feat in 2009. Although Inter Milan had a chance to take the match into extra time, the team could not take advantage of it.
