Coach Simone Inzaghi is likely to succeed in coaching Inter in compensating for the ferocity of Pep Guardiola’s men.
The statistics themselves show Inter to be the team that creates more chances, as many as 14 chances, six of which are on target, including Dimarco’s header which hit the post and Romelu Lukaku’s header which was countered by goalkeeper Ederson.
Manchester City themselves could only create seven chances, four of which were on target.
However, when their front players including Haaland were made helpless by the Inter rearguard led by Francesco Acerbi, Manchester City again proved themselves that their sharpness is not measured only by their front players.
Manuel Akanji, and his fellow center-back Ruben Dias, even helped out occasionally to try and break the deadlock. But the task of breaking the deadlock this time fell to Rodri.
Satisfied
The defensive midfielder, whose full name is Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante and who doubles as an anchor alongside center-back John Stones, was the last man to save City from a dead end.
His powerful strike into the left corner of the Inter goal was too late for Inter’s players, while goalkeeper Andre Onana looked to have reacted too late.
One goal from Rodri in the 68th minute was enough to complete Manchester City captivating and near-perfect run this season.
They made history again by becoming the sixth English team after Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Aston Villa to win Europe’s elite competition.
After failing two years ago at the hands of Chelsea, Manchester City success in this second Champions League final was even sweeter as it rivaled Manchester United as the English team to win the treble.
Inter, who were chasing their fourth European title, almost ruined Manchester City dream, even though before the final they were considered outclassed by the Citizens, even touted as an unbalanced match.
