Manchester City beat Inter Milan to win Champions League

Manchester City have been crowned the 2023 UEFA Champions League winners after defeating Inter Milan 1-0 at Istanbul Stadium on Saturday night. 

This is Man City’s first Champions League trophy in the club’s history. 

The game started off at a slow pace, as both teams failed to find any real momentum.

However, the contest hardly swung back to life when the first half progressed, with goals failing to come in. 

Man City tried to take command of the showdown, with Inter being pushed back. 

LEVEL AT THE HALF-TIME 

The showpiece went into the interval with a 0-0 scoreline.

In the second stanza, it was action-packed, with the Premier League champions trying to break the deadlock. 

Pep Guardiola’s boys started enjoying their finest spell of the game with the hopes of turning things in their favour. 

In the 68th minute, Rodri finally found the back of the net to give his side a 1-0 lead.

Despite the Citizens taking the lead, Inter never lost hope and started pushing forward in numbers to find an equaliser. 

As the second period wore on, Inter couldn’t capitalise on their clear-cut chances as Man City remained solid at the back. 

However, Guardiola’s side upped the ante and continued to take command of the match. 

Inter, on the other hand, had offered little threat in front of Man City’s goals.

City redeemed themselves as they were looking happy to knock the ball around to keep the game flowing and hoping to add to the scoreline. 

Inter continued piling pressure on their opponents – taking control of proceedings but failed to put the ball into the back of the net.
