Pep Guardiola has become the first manager to win a European treble with two different clubs after Manchester City beat Inter Milan 1-0 to win the Champions League.

The Spaniard previously achieved the treble in the 2008-09 season when his Barcelona side won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

Guardiola went on to lift the Champions League again in 2011, but he has waited patiently to win Europe's top prize for a third time.

However, his 12-year wait came to an end in Istanbul, as the Citizens edged out Inter Milan to win the Champions League for the first time in their history.

A composed second-half strike from Rodri proved enough to clinch the silverware, adding to their Premier League title and FA Cup trophy.

As a result, Man City have become just the second team to win the English football treble, following in the footsteps of their neighbours Manchester United, who achieved the feat in 1999.

The narrow win in Istanbul also cemented Guardiola's legacy as one of the greatest managers of all time, after the 52-year-old became the first manager to win trebles with two different clubs.

Guardiola also becomes just the third head coach to win three European Cups/Champions League trophies, joining Bob Paisley and Zinedine Zidane.

Paisley won all of his three European Cups as Liverpool manager, while Zidane won the competition in three consecutive seasons between 2016 and 2018 during his time in the Real Madrid dugout.

The Spaniard is now just one short of Carlo Ancelotti, who won the competition in 2003 and 2007 as AC Milan boss and in 2014 and 2022 as Los Blancos head coach.
