Very interesting stat…

For the last four straight European Cup finals, the scoreline has been 1-0. That's the longest such streak since 1978-83 (6). In fact, the team that opened the scoring in the last 9 UCL finals has won the title - the last team to score first and not win was Atletico Madrid in 2014.

Well, maybe City didn't perform at it's best exactly because Inter played a good game, don't you think? Football is played by two teams, the performance of one team is influenced by the other. You are the same team that destroyed Real Madrid 4-0, Bayern Munchen 3-0, Leipzig 7-0, so maybe if you only won 1-0 tonight it's because we played better than those other teams...

I wouldn't say "better" so much as you played more ~effectively~ to stop City playing their football. Playing anti-football (there was definitely plenty of rolling around feigning injury and attempts to disrupt play) is not that much to be proud of. That said, your team's effort level in pressing was very impressive.

Add to that, our players were struggling due to nerves, disrupted rhythm at the end of the season and many just being on their last legs physically due to a season of almost unimaginable effort required -- added up to a much more difficult match than we would have preferred.

We are the worthiest champions, however. Beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Cannot stop looking at the picture of Grealish with the sun roof. It's hilarious.

Anyone else feel tears well up watching repeats of Rodri’s goal?

Honestly, this club.

Watched the match 3 times now and cried each time at the final whistle.
