Manchester City vs Inter Milan 1-0 - All Goals & Highlights - Champions League Final 2023

For treble, immortality for Manchester City. Defenders you can find in world football right now. I think Pep talks a lot about proper defenders nowadays. Maybe he sees more Kyle as a defender with potentially mentality going forward. I have no idea, maybe to go more on the front foot. It's Inter Milan's team and they've got a lot of the old characters in there who are going to make it difficult. Can their formation prove a difficult passing point for this City team will remain to be seen. Cesc, who wins this final? I'm going to go for Man City. I think they have more experience. I think they... Out by the World Cup final referee Simon Marciniak. The players of Manchester City and Internazionale walking out past this trophy that turns players into legends. Players preparing to walk past the iconic emblem of tonight, walking... And he's joined down there by the two captains, the Wembley hero Ilkay Gundogan and captain City on what could be his final appearance for the club. And he's down there with the Croatian Marcelo Brozovic. The first opportunity tonight for Edin Dzeko. What a big night it is against his old team. As we see Pep Guardiola... ...victories against AC Milan in the semi-finals. But that Italian heartbeat right in the centre, very aggressive in the previous three Anglo-Italian finals in the competition. Inter were the last Italian winners. Whips it in! So close to an opener. I mean, brilliant by Bernat. ...when Liverpool came back against AC Milan here famously in 2005. ...stadiums to get to, various modes of transport were being used, particularly by the City supporters when we travelled in earlier to the free. And that smash back in by Damian. He says the ball didn't go out. Martínez was able to keep it in play. Now Di Marca. What a bad ball and it's well defended by Ruben Dias. And we see again there that Inter doing this. 2-on-2 in the penalty area. Varela with the cross. So that's deflected behind. It's going to be an inter-corner. Defending done by Akay. But again it was the wing... John Stones. Karl Walker is noticeable again. Karl Walker's performances against Real Madrid were exemplary, weren't they? So it's a huge blow that he's not playing tonight. Like you just said, all those clean sheets. Finished third in the league. Finished Serie A straight really strongly considering... It's an opportunity for Martínez. Game plan at the moment from an Inter perspective. Drozovic into Martínez. And then the shot which came in from the Inter captain. Lautaro wanted... Jack Grealish starts to make the run. The problem Grealish has on this side. And you'd say they said... Yeah, let's see if they can... With Varela. Well, it's going to be a throw-in. It's going to be an inter-throw-in. And he was outstanding last weekend in the FA Cup final. That's a foul there by Varela. Given away there by Ederson. And he went for goal there, Varela. He just spotted that Ederson was in no man's land. And had that been a better... Into play. He threw in a shoot. Well, we know he's got the ability to score from that kind of range. But that was far from his best. Yeah, it does have... Here's Cecho. That's a foul on him. By Nathan. Manalo Silva. Flicked it down to... The Grealish press forced the error from Darmian. Grealish then plays the pass in. But it's too far. Jack Grealish. Headed away in there by... Deployed it with the opportunity to cross. Well, it's gone beyond... Devastated. As you said, he's trying to... He doesn't want the... The sorrow off his friends. Sorry. He just wants to get off the... Fascinating battle down here between Dumfries and Grealish. And Grealish felt he was fouled. The referee agrees with that. And hugging inside that six-yard box. Rodri looking to send it back in. And that's going to be a goal kick. And they dealt with that situation very comfortably. Manalo Silva. Running at Di Marco. Back out to Akanji. He's going to try his luck. Akanji. Power off the left foot but... Just lacking the direction. And Thibaut out of possession. Have been outstanding. Half-time. Started the final with, of course, Manchester City losing Kevin De Bruyne significantly in the first half. So Phil Foden is on. What might just... Dealt with defensively there by Bastoni. Di Marco as the player has gone down. Now the referee is going to stop. Damian stepping forward to be the one to challenge Gundogan. And that's a foul by... Di Marco won it back. He's been outstanding so far tonight. Gets it back again from Barella. Here's Martinez. Gundogan went in and won it back. And that's a third challenge. Here's Lautaro Martinez. They're into Milan. That's a fierce shot driven in by Chalonoglu which is blocked. Tonight is over. And Lukaku comes on. No, that's what Inter Milan do. Those shall not pass. If they don't get a foul, they're breaking up play. Chalonoglu tries to get... He's in. Trouble here for Manchester City. Good save by Ederson. Complete breakdown in communication. Bernardo Silva. And he's got the overlap as well here from John Stones. Stones able to whip it in. And that's Steve Foden now for Manchester City. Haaland on the move. Barella made the challenge. It's going to be a free kick. It's a yellow card. The first of the final for Barella. Had a free kick. Taken short here to Gundogan. Whipped into the box and headed on. But headed over by Ruben Diaz. Brozovic in there on Stones. That's the foul. Silva. Tight angle. Pulls it back. Coming onto it now to shoot. Score! Rodri! Manchester City lead in the Champions League final. Huge, huge goal for Rodri. And the Manchester City supporters have gone absolutely mad. Such a big goal. Such a big moment. And Manchester City take a giant stride towards the treble. What a big moment. Oh yes, Rodri. Who's in there. DiMarco there as well. Oh, it's in the goal. He does it Lukaku. How on earth did they not equalize into? They are. Lukaku. Lukaku shoots straight at Ederson. And that's a big side relief. Just opens his body. It's a lovely finish. Delicate finish to break the dead. Rodri after 68 minutes. Foden saved. Well, that's a vital save for Ronaldo. But what an opportunity for Foden. The initial little burst plays it through here for Foden. On it goes to Harlem.
