The victory over Inter Milan completes a historic treble, with our European crown added to our Premier League and FA Cup successes.
It is only the 10th occasion a European side has won a Treble, with City joining Celtic (1967), Ajax (1972), PSV Eindhoven (1988), Manchester United (1999), Barcelona (2009 and 2015), Inter Milan (2010) and Bayern Munich (2013 and 2020).
Manager Pep Guardiola has now won 14 major trophies since joining the club in 2016– a collection comprising five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups, one Champions League and two Community Shields – and he becomes the first manager to win two European Trebles (Barcelona 2009 and City 2023).
