English clubs do seem to like this stadium, especially against clubs from Milan. Composure is needed from City now.

How the F is Guardiola not bursting from emotion?! I'd be on my knees crying. Congratulations to City. Many, many congratulations to City.

Probably because he's been expected to win it so much it's probably more relief than joy now

Great side are City. Not at all surprising that they would win the CL at some point and it was today.

If only inter attacked all game. They might have won. More shots and shots on target than City who fell over the line

The chances they had were all wasted. The header that hit the bar, Ederson was in no man’s land and wouldn’t have saved it if the header was either side of the keeper, rather than trying to loop it. Martinez could have passed to Lukaku for an 8% chance of Lukaku actually scoring, so maybe Martinez made the right decision lol. The header at the end from Lukaku, well, missing was the only outcome that would have happened tbf.

So just the Dimarco header was their best chance to score.

It was a bit of a chess game but it got better towards the end.

Congratulations to Manchester City and their fans on a great season.

City have had some horrible luck in the CL over the years, probably got lucky in the final. That's life. That's why it was stupid not to rate Guardiola for not winning it before and silly to only now rate them. They're a great team who have the trophy their play deserves

City came up short in the end which is disappointing for them. I said as soon as Haaland signed they would do the quadruple. But just a treble. Piss poor.

Anti football systems always find a way. Playing with 6 defenders + a goalkeeper finally did it for Pep and City.

Well deserved for City. Best team in the world by some distance now. This is the icing on their cake.

It'd always good for football having a first time winner (in whatever tournament)

Got boring for a while with the La Liga clubs monopoly/stanglehold on the CL for a very long time.

Got to see an Italian club back in the final for the first time in several years too.
