Manchester City finally won its first Champions League at Inter Milan’s expense. It has been the team’s goal since the Abu Dhabi United Group acquired it in 2008.
According to sportsbook pay per head reviews and news sites, the Abu Dhabi United Group spent millions of dollars in the last 15 years. Also, controversy surrounded Man City since then. However, their investment paid off after Manchester City won its first Champions League.
Manchester City had to win against a three-time Champions League Champion. Also, they are the second English club to achieve the treble. Aside from the Champions League, the team also won the Premier League and FA Cup this season.
Manchester City Won Against Inter Milan in Champions League Finals
According to bookie software experts, Manchester United was the first to accomplish this feat in the 1998–1999 season. While it’s pointless to compare teams from different periods, the current City club is as dominating domestically as the United team was under Alex Ferguson, having won five league titles in six seasons.
The next objective is to amass European titles with the same ruthlessness. After all, repeat winners are the ones who get the most attention and praise.
It was a low-scoring yet intriguing encounter. In the opening five minutes, City’s Bernardo Silva came near, and in the 26th, Erling Haaland had his finest chance, but Inter goalkeeper André Onana made a low save.
Minutes earlier, Nicol Barella had seen City goalkeeper Ederson off his line and shot, but his first-time attempt went wide.
City had plenty of possession but failed to produce tangible results in the first half due to Inter’s relentless pressing.
Second Half
The second half was equally tense as the first, with Inter maintaining their stellar defense and City relentlessly pressing for chances. Inter might have scored at least twice after Rodri put City ahead in the 68th minute with a first-time curling effort from a Bernardo Silva cut-back that evaded many players.
According to sportsbook reviews and news sites, Federico Dimarco‘s header went high and wide, and his follow-up attempt from six yards out collided with teammate Romelu Lukaku. Ederson made a game-winning save in the last seconds when he blocked a Lukaku header from within the six-yard box.
