Translation

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final played at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul. The decisive and only goal was scored by Spanish midfielder Rodri in the second half.

It was a more balanced match than expected, considering that Inter was considered the clear underdog by everyone. After conceding Rodri’s goal, Inter reacted and came close to equalizing several times. However, Guardiola’s team managed to hold on until the end.

Thanks to this victory, Manchester City became European champions for the first time in their 129-year history. Having already won the league and domestic cup, they became the eighth European team to achieve the so-called treble or triplete, known as “tripletta” in Italian.

For coach Pep Guardiola, it is his third Champions League victory, following his two successes with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011.

A disappointing note for the three Italian teams, all defeated in the three continental finals: Roma against Sevilla in the Europa League, Fiorentina against West Ham in the Conference League, and now Inter.
