The worst commentary ever, such an excess of hyperbole just embarrassing It took Citeh 12 years and the budget of a country to win their first Champions League. Brian Clough and Forest won it twice in 4 years on a shoestring.

Why do you say that?
Good question. I wasn't impressed with them. They relied on keeping City out and catching them on the break.

City had more possession, while Inter had more shots, and more shots on target, but none of them counted.

On balance, I think City deserved it, and Inter didn't.
In the end, City had a bit too much and in the end, they found a way.

That's a mixture of stats and 'feel'. That's the best I can do!

Two years.

FFS.

And they had only about 8 matches to win it, though, to be fair.

At least Inter players keeping their medals on.

City deserved winners IMO

If that's what Italian football is like, can't see RDZ going there any time soon tbh.

I’ve put R5 on, just can’t take it anymore.

Do BT have the Europa league ?

Congratulations to Abu Dhabi and the UAE - the first country to win the Champions League.

The journey took 4 years vs City's 12.

FFS. Yes, and every match was against a proper Champion.
