Finally now we see a new champion. Manchester City won the Champions League trophy for the first time after several attempts and 2 attempts in the Final.
History is written now apart from Manchester City, Haaland is also the first season and the first trophy as well as the top scorer for this season.
My best credit goes to Pep because he is also one of the top coaches with 3 trophies for the Champions League as well as equaling Zidane's score.
Congratulations to Manchester City for their trophy.
It was an interesting game altogether, a big congratulations to Manchester city, they've finally written their name in the book of history, a big congratulations to inter Milan as well, I personally under estimated this team, today's match proved to me how strong and well coordinated this team are, though they seem small and not as popular as the big clubs we all are usually familiar with, I personally expected Manchester city to win the match with atleast 3 to 5 goals to nothing, but they only managed to score one goal, like I said, I really under estimated inter Milan.
In the end City deserved it because they really tried hard enough and tried a few times and this is a very good result for them this season.
History indeed for Manchester City and I'm quite happy with my bet too Cheesy
On the other hand for Inter even though in this case they were not too favored but indeed this match was also very extraordinary for them even in the final minutes of the match actually the chance to score a goal occurred several times there only it could be thwarted well. They deserve to be applauded this season.

I think if Lukaku hadn't been on the field, Inter would have had an opportunity to score... Although he was able to create some moments, he didn't manage to score... But he also prevented the ball from being sent into the target a few times... In the final minutes Inter showed very good class and Man City could do nothing with those dangerous attacks, but with the realization of the moments was a problem...
Inter Milan would have all the opportunity to get at least a goal in that match but trees and lack of finishing denied them clear opportunities to take the game to an extra time. Both Martinez and Lukaku wasted a lot of opportunities. There was a clear chance for Martinez to pass to Lukaku which would have given them a goal but he decided to score alone, while Lukaku's lack of coordination and right positioning deprived this great team of the opportunity to give Italy a European title this season. Maybe the Belgian might have to return to Chelsea but Inter can keep him for another season because he had a fairly good season. But a goal in the finals would have been the needed catalyst to give him a permanent deal at Inter.

Inter Milan performed far beyond my expectation because I expected Manchester City to dominate the match from beginning to end and thought the goal will be up to three as they did to Real Madrid. But coach Inter coach Simone Inzaghi showed some good technical soundness that slightly outsmarted City.

I was very much disappointed with Lukaku... I think his career is over... He was terrible at Chelsea, he didn't perform well at the last World Cup either... In yesterday's very important match, he missed several chances... I am sure if Dzeko had had the strength to play the match to the end, he would not have missed an opportunity to score... It's a shame that Inter started to create such good moments only after conceding a goal...
The accident of holding Dimarco's header and him having a chance that failed to be utilized in this match also really made fans seem a little disappointed. but on the other hand in this match too he actually played quite well even though from the bench it's just that the unluckiness to him is still very big in this match.
