A powerful rip and City’s in front.ħ1st minute: This should be level! Dimarco pops a header off the cross bar and then his follow-up header doesn’t get to the line because it zips off the leg of his teammate Lukaku. Ironically, Onana makes an error to threaten some excitement, but Bernardo Silva is well handled by Inter and Federico Dimarco clears the danger.ĥ6th minute: Enter this storyline –> Former Man United and Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku has been in scoring form and he’s entering for Edin Dzeko.Ħ8th minute: GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!! It’s RODRI and it’s 1-0 Manchester City! The treble is on, for the moment as Rodri runs onto a loose ball after Akanji slipped Bernardo Silva on goal and the Portuguese’s cross is blocked into space. It’s all there for Inter… and City.ĥ0th minute: It’s still City in possession without many obvious openings. City predictably had 62 percent of the ball and edged the xG battle that half but Inter took four of the game’s seven shots and Onana made the best stop when he got his arm to Haaland’s rip around the half-hour mark. HALFTIME: City was definitely a bit better but the margins are close and Inter will like its chances even more now that De Bruyne has exited the contest. And it’ll be eerily familiar to City supporters, who saw this in the club’s last UCL Final and will hope for a better outcome. De Bruyne can’t go on and it’ll be Phil Foden stepping into the fold with the score 0-0 and 10+ minutes left in the first half. Kevin De Bruyne then lashes a bounding ball into Onana’s arms, and Grealish scuds a tepid effort to the keeper.ģ6th minute: INJURY SUB. And it’s a big one. It stays in play and City put it out for an Inter goal kick. If they can keep this up, it’s on for them.Ģ9th minute: Haaland snaps a left-footed shot from a tight angle and Andre Onana stands firm, dipping his arm to block the shot. There’s width there but no regular spaces. Understandably just fouls but Inter opening the day daring referee Szymon Marciniak, the World Cup Final boss, to show a yellow.ġ2th minute: Is that a little rust from Ederson under the press of Lautaro Martinez? Inter continues to show some bite early and Jack Grealish is getting a familiar amount of physical opposition.ġ8th minute: Terrific discipline from Inter who’s been able to oscillate between keeping their shape and aggressive pressing.

Now, we can have a good chat about us actually winning this.” We created chances and there were key moments. I don’t think I’m the best there, but I gave it my all. After this season, from where we were in the Premier League, to bring it back, win the FA Cup, then come here and win this, I can’t put it into words.” I’m holding words back because I’m on camera, put it that way. Both are so special in their own rights in different eras. “We’re only the second team to do the treble. It’s a pleasure to be a part of this team and create this history. Manchester City defender/midfielder John Stones: The pressure was there, but this team is built to handle the pressure in the best possible way.” We knew everyone was talking about the treble. With this competition, the treble is so difficult.” “We’re going to celebrate in the hotel with family and friends.
