Manager Pep Guardiola claimed that Manchester City’s Champions League victory was “written in the stars” after his team won the Treble in Istanbul.
In addition to the Premier League and FA Cup championships they had already won this season, City defeated Inter Milan 1-0 to capture their first Champions League championship.
“I’m drained, at ease, and content. Guardiola, who previously won the Triple with Barcelona, stated, “Winning is very hard.
“The stars had it planned. It is our property.
At the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, midfielder Rodri’s goal in the 68th minute—his second Champions League goal in 48 games—was sufficient to defeat Inter Milan.
“It makes me feel. a reality check. I don’t know how long these individuals around here waited,” Rodri told BT Sport.
They and we both deserve it. We were quite close the last few years. All I want to say is thank you. It wasn’t simple. What a team we faced, the way they counterattacked and defended.
“We gave our all. This is how finals are. You can’t expect to perform at your usual level. Nervousness and feelings are present. We competed in a wild way. It’s a fantasy. There will never be another time like this.
After losing to Chelsea in the 2021 final, Manchester City was playing in their second final in three years.
They follow in the footsteps of their city rivals Manchester United, who accomplished the feat in 1999, to become only the second English men’s side to win the Triple Crown.
“A privilege to stand with Sir Alex Ferguson,”
Guardiola won the European Cup in 1992 while playing for Barcelona, but he admitted he did not realize what he had accomplished until the next day. After City’s victory, it will be a similar experience.
The Champions League final will be held in London, according to our chairman, and I won’t reveal what I told him, according to Guardiola.
“Now is the moment to rejoice. As part of a victory parade, we will be traveling to Manchester on Monday afternoon on our coach with three trophies.
Only Guardiola and United icon Sir Alex Ferguson have won the Triple Crown with an English team.
“It is a privilege for me to stand with Sir
David Sir Alex Ferguson. It is an honor, he told me in a mail this morning,” continued Guardiola.
“I’m supposed to win trebles every season, people say. Yes, I make a good manager. I enjoy this tournament because we won, it will go down in history, and the participants will be remembered forever.
“However, acknowledge the five Premier League titles earned in six years. Now more than ever, it’s critical that people remember what we accomplished. Perhaps a museum could be established where admirers could view the awards.
The outcome of the 115 financial allegations brought by the Premier League against City is still pending. Guardiola stated that they had denied any misconduct regarding money.
He wants to “as soon as possible” deal with the accusations.
After they won the Champions League, the manager in Istanbul lauded the impact of team owner Sheikh Mansour, who was there in the crowd.
“People from Abu Dhabi, specifically Sheikh Mansour, taking over the club is one of the primary reasons why we are where we are today. We wouldn’t be here without that. They are the most significant individuals, he declared.
