City not only won their first European trophy since claiming the now-defunct European Cup Winners' Cup in 1970, they also became only the second English team to win a treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

Inter, bidding to lift the trophy for a fourth time, stifled Guardiola's side with a superbly-executed display of traditional Italian catenaccio, especially in the first half in which City's Kevin De Bruyne went off injured.

Inter's fans grew increasingly vocal as City's were silently consumed by nerves but all that changed when Bernardo Silva found space in the blue and black wall and he cut a pass back to Rodri who took a touch and drilled the ball home.

"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." Pep Guardiola is now the only manager to win the treble twice and that too with two different clubs.
