Manchester City vs Inter Milan 1-0 – as it happened

What an exciting finish that was.

Inter threatened to get back into the match a few times in the second half after going a goal down.

However, Ederson came to the fore to ensure City walk away with their first-ever Champions League trophy.

Through this feat, Guardiola becomes the first manager to win the treble with two different clubs as well as winning his third overall Champions League.

Spare a thought for Inter who kept to their plans to keep the Manchester club quiet for large swathes of the match. Until Rodri’s intervention, they looked to push this match into extra-time, and possibly penalties.

Till the next time, we bid you adieu.

Gundogan, who may very well be leaving the club in the summer, summed up his thoughts: “Unbelievable night, I’m so happy. Difficult to put into words. I think today we made history,” he told BT Sport.

“It was clear it was going to be difficult for both teams. We weren’t our best in the first half. It was a 50-50 game. One goal made the difference as it often does in finals. We feel very fortunate it was for us.

“We knew everyone was talking about the treble. The pressure was there but I think this team is built to handle pressure in the best possible way.”

A visibly emotional Grealish offers his thoughts: “You work your whole life for this. I’m so happy. To win the treble with this group of players is so special. I have worked for this my whole life.

“You think back to all the people who have helped you. He [Guardiola] is a genius. I want to thank him for making this happen.”

Rodri, who scored the winning goal, shares his thoughts: “This is a dream come true. All these guys waiting, I don’t know how many years. Some waiting 30 years. Last year we were so close. At the end, it is down to God.

“It wasn’t easy. What a team we faced. The way they defended and counter-attacked. They are a great team. I don’t want to forget about my lads, they gave everything. It was an unbelievable effort from everyone.”

With that last-minute vital stop from the corner, the referee soon blows the whistle and City officially become the champions of Europe.

Ever since Sheikh Mansour bought the club back in 2008, this was the one trophy the club prized above all.

Despite unrivalled success in the Premier League in recent years, this one title continued to elude the grasp of the Manchester-based side.

But tonight, with the match going down to the wire, City can proudly hold their heads up as they emulate the 1999 feat of their rival Manchester United by capturing a historic treble after claiming the FA Cup and Premier League.

Read the match report.

Inter win a corner on the right side and Ederson once again rescues City as the header finds the target, but the Brazilian is able to keep it out.

Inter fans just can’t believe it as that’s three chances they have had to equalise now.

The German sends another header into the box and Lukaku is able to head the ball downward but finds the kneecap of the Brazilian goalkeeper, who knew little about it.

Dias is able to clear the ball away for a corner on the right side.

What an absolutely vital stop from Ederson as we enter the closing stages.

Inter have increased the intensity as they have abandoned their initial plans in order to get back into this final.

What just happened here? Dumfries, who is jostling for the ball as it bounces, sends up a header into the box.

Dimarco, who is able to evade his marker, ends up looping the ball with a header towards goal from inside of the box.

However, the downward trajectory of the ball bounces off the crossbar, as Ederson was scrambling back to try and stop the chance. It comes back to Dimarco, whose second header hits Lukaku and is cleared.

Unbelievable opportunity there for Inter and the players look absolutely gutted.
