The annoying pressing style of play destroyed the excitement of the "blue half" of Manchester, causing the English football representative in the first half to only have two missed shots from close range by Haaland and a shot off target by Silva.

In the second half, Man City continued to play rather slowly. However, coach Pep Guardiola's team scored the opening goal thanks to Rodri in the 68th minute after a technical pass from Bernardo Silva. Although they rose up to attack, the remaining time was not enough for the Serie A team to find an equalizer.

In the end, the match ended with a 1-0 victory for Man City. Thus, Man City made history with their first Champions League title, and became the second English team (after MU) to create a "treble" in one season, after winning the Premier League and FA Cup.

In the immediate future, coach Pep Guardiola and his students still have the European Super Cup match with Sevilla and a ticket to the FIFA Club World Cup.
