Does anybody feel “different” since Istanbul?

[LeonardoDaVnci]

I thought it was just me...
After drawing 1-1 in Munich on 17th April the following 8 weeks were completey surreal. I was convinced we'd finally win the CL but had serious doubts about beating Trafford Town at Wembley. I kept dreaming St Burberry of Baguely would do us in the last minute and we'd hear about it for ever more. Instead we reached football Nirvana. Istanbul on the Saturday was the best pre match atmosphere I've ever experienced and the celebrations after the game almost led to renal failure. I've been on the wagon ever since. Can't be arsed to follow the transfer window, the PL witchhunt or the usual close season threads on BM. I've renewed my ST and thinking I may get my mojo back in the autumn. In my head it's around midnight in Istanbul, I'm looking down on the pitch and Pep has Big Ears (the CL trophy, not Fernandes) in his hands and I'm thinking THIS is why I did it and it only took 30 years, 1 divorce and probs about £100K...

It’s not surprising we feel different after a lifetime of wanting us to be the best team in the land and all the world, suddenly we are. After all that longing, all that yearning, finally we are.
No bloody wonder we feel different.

I feel complete. I was never a fan of the CL and I stated on here that the priority for me was ‘3 in a row’. I’m still scarred by the weekend in Istanbul, but the game itself will live with me forever. I think we have reached our destiny as the greatest ever. The World Club champions is all that’s left.

Complete is exactly how I feel

I feel like I'm walking with the king.
We've won the treble and I feel high as a kite still, and I'll be feeling high as a kite all next season.
Winning the European Cup, hang on, just let me say that to myself again.
Winning the European Cup hasn't dampened nothing, that feeling at the final whistle knowing we'd won it and the treble was mesmerising, never felt a feeling like that since the Aguerooooo goal.

Next season I want it again, I want that feeling.

Roll on August 11th.

For a guy who's 5ft-8" it appears that I am now walking 7ft + while wearing anything with City on it.
IT'S GREAT BEING A BLUE CTID

When Alexander The Great saw the breadth of his domain he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.

Meanwhile at Old Toilet....

 

[Kinkybyname]

yup, finally "typical City" means something else, something glorious - cock-ups replaced by confidence

My feeling is thank God we have at last won the bloody thing, we can now concentrate on the proper competition.

‘Cityitis’… confined to history now for me

Still numb about the significance of what we achieved in Istanbul but, every so often, the scale of it hits me like a sledgehammer. It may sink in someday that ickle Sitteh are Champions of Europe. Then again...
