- This is the end of our coverage. Thank you for going on this journey with me, I hope you enjoyed it. Do not forget to follow us on our social media pages. @Pulsesportsng on Twitter
- Guardiola(BBC): "It was written in the stars. It belongs to us.
- Simone Inzaghi (BBC): "It's normal to have regrets. Losing is the worst thing in sport. At the same time, the players need to be proud of the season and the performance in the final. We played against a great opponent but we clearly didn't deserve to lose."
- Has Guardiola put an end to all the dismissals of his greatness?
- Lukaku found himself in unlucky moments today and has been the subject of pot-match banter.
- Pep Guardiola also becomes the first manager in European football to achieve the treble twice.
- Manchester City have become only the second English team to win the treble, equaling the achievements of their crosstown rivals, Manchester United.
- FULL-TIME: Manchester City are European Champions.
- 88' CHANCE: Romelu Lukaku heads the ball from close range, but the well-positioned Ederson saves inadvertently.
- 84' 1-0: More changes for Inter as Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Danilo Di Ambrosio come in for Matteo Darmian and Hakan Calhanoglu. #ManCityInter
- 81' 1-0: John Stones comes off after a Man of the Match-type performance. He is replaced by Kyle Walker.
- 75' Substitution: Robin Gosens and Bellanova come in Alessandro Bastoni and Denzel Dumfries. #ManCityInter
- 71' CHANCE: Federico Di Marco went agonisingly close to giving Inter the lead, but his teammate Lukaku blocked his header from a goal-mouth scramble.
- 69' 1-0: REDEMPTION Rodri has been a shadow of himself all game. He has just scored an historic game for Manchester City. #ManCityInter
- GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Manchester City take the lead
- It has been unforced error after unforced error. #ManCityInter
- CHANCE: Breakdown in communication between Akanji and Ederson. Lautaro Martinez pounces, but the Argentine failed to beat the Manchester City goalkeeper. #ManCityInter
- 55' 0-0: It looks like Dzeko's watch has ended. He goes to the ground due to cramps. The Big Belgian is preparing to replace him.
- 51' 0-0: Physical, physical game. It has been brutal, neither team is taking it lightly.
- SECOND-HALF is underway!!!
- HALF-TIME: The question on everyone's lips is can Inter keep this up for another 45 minutes? or will Pep's side find their gear? #ManCityInter
- 45+3' HALF TIME in Istanbul as Inter have done a great job of stifling Manchester City's attack, despite a good opportunity for Haaland. Still, as we were at the start of this one, 0-0 at the break.
- It certainly can not be a Serie A thing after Milan and Liverpool served us the 2005 final.
- Rumours now that De Bruyne asked to be taken off, not because of an injury, but because the match is extremely boring.
- 36' Manchester City's task is made all the harder by an injury to Kevin De Bruyne, with English youngster Phil Foden replacing him.
- 30' Manchester City are starting to find gaps in Inter's defence as the Nerazzurri start to come out of their shell in hopes of a goal before half-time
- Instead, the Norwegian is denied by an outstanding stop from Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana who is desperate to keep a ninth competition clean sheet and become the goalkeeper with the most shutouts in the competition's history. Norwegian
- 27' Manchester City finally have a shot on target and star forward Erling Haaland should have done much better with his finish.
- Incredibly, Manchester City are yet to hit a shot on target, and Gareth Bale's prediction of a 5-0 scoreline is starting to look farfetched. It was quite plausible when he said it to be honest.
- 20' Inter catch Manchester City on the break, but the rushed shot by Brozovic goes well over the bar. Every team since 2013 that went on to win the UEFA Champions League have had a Croatian in their side, but Brozovic did not look like a lucky charm there.
- 15' Still 0-0, Manchester City have 62% of the ball, but Inter have still had more shots on and off target. Are we in for a Simone Inzaghi masterclass?
- 10' Inter doing well to keep Manchester City at bay, but their very deep midblock could spell danger as it leaves them without an outlet in attack
- 4' 0-0: Bernardo Silva shows impressive footwork to carve space, but his attempted curler flew across goal. #ManCityInter
- 2' 0-0: Haaland!!! The Norwegian fires the first shot of the game. His attempt was off target, and he was well offside, but that is a declaration of intent. #ManCityInter.
- KICK-OFF!!! And we are underway in Istanbul. #ManCityInter
- The main event is nigh upon us, kick-off is just around the corner as the players line up for the Champions League anthem. #ManCityInter
- It's Burna time!!! #ManCityInter
