It wasn't ridiculous - not at all.I’m 65 in January; when I was 50 I hoped for a cup final. Never did I imagine what we’ve witnessed. I was in Istanbul, but I got very emotional at the fan park. You see my younger brother died in 2008 (the night we beat WHU in the FA cup 1-0j. I’ve missed him and yearned for him everyday since. The only success he ever witnessed was Gillingham and a couple of promotions. When the song ‘Stop crying your heart out’ was being played and everybody joined in, I lost my composure and had to be comforted by my niece, his daughter.
I have no great recollection of the match, just the goal and the torture of the last 15 minutes as Inter decided to play. Five mins to go, I thought of my brother and begged him to make City win, if he could! He came through, just as he did for us in 2011, 2012 and even last season v Aston Villa. At the final whistle I of course was delighted, but too emotional to savour the enormity of what our magnificent club had achieved. I cried for my brother and thanked him for looking out for us again. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that was my experience. 5 weeks,later, I now feel we have reached the pinnacle, our destiny and I feel complete now. Thanks Tony. X
I was in work watching the game - thankfully i was the only one in work so it was undisturbed viewing - but it was a lonely experience not having to have someone to chat with, reassure or cheer with.
The whistle blew and the tears came out. I thought of my mum who died 4 years ago and always went to the pub to watch City even at 85. Then my uncle (mum's brother) who I went with during the dark days of the 80's and early 90's who passed away in 2003 and then my grandad (died 1971) who without his love for City we wouldn't be Blues.....
A proper day of mixed emotions on every level

My best mate died 7 years ago the day we drew in Paris v PSG in 2016,i still felt alone without him at the game, it wont ever change or go away.
My 15 year old couldn't come cos of his exams,I cried chatting to him in the fan park before the game,i swore he will be with me next time like he is every game normally,but for his exams he would have.
Where I was sat,after the final whistle lots of people were crying ,one woman behind me,if I remember her story correctly,her dad who'd brought her up blue,had died on the 10th june a few years before but the same day as the final and she was sobbing,gave her a hug , bless you love wherever you are !

Fantastic! Limbs when we score. A minute or so earlier I was starting to fear the worst. I could hardly watch the last 5 mins.

The final whistle and after were very emotional moments. I’ve never seen so much happiness in my life. It was joyous to be part of it. I think it is my pinnacle moment following us. That, Stoke and QPR. MagicI had three very emotional moments at the Final.

Anyone still trying to process what we achieved last season..keep watching highlights and getting goosebumps
The season being broken up into two you forget some of the earlier games like the come back against Palace or the Kung fu kick winner by Haaland against Dortmund. The level of football played dragging Arsenal back in the league and what they did in the knock out stages of the champions league was something else. I hope they can show that again in a few weeks time when everything gets back underway.
