Mats Hummels on Manchester City’s victory. Mats Hummels, a star for Borussia Dortmund, praised Manchester City after they defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday (June 10) at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul to win the competition for the first time.
Rodri scored the game’s lone goal in the 68th minute. Since City had previously won the FA Cup and the Premier League, they also completed the triple.
Hummels praised Sky Blue in a tweet he posted. Erling Haaland, Manuel Akanji, and Ilkay Gundogan, who were all members of Dortmund, all received his congratulations. The central defender from Germany tweeted: “The rightful champion of the @ChampionsLeague and the finest squad this season. Congratulations to Manu Akanji, @IlkayGuendogan, @Erling Haaland, and Manchester City.”
The three players—Haaland, Gundogan, and Akanji—were essential to Manchester City’s success this season. In his debut year with the club, the Norwegian scored 52 goals across all competitions.
Haaland not only set a Premier League record with 36 goals, but he also scored 12 goals in the Champions League. In 51 games, Gundogan recorded 11 goals and seven assists, including a brace in the FA Cup final.
While this was going on, Akanji was a defensive staple for the squad, contributing to 22 shutouts in 48 games across competitions.
With his Champions League victory, Pep Guardiola made many pieces of history:
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has now accomplished the triple twice in his career. In addition to the victory this season, he had also steered Barcelona to a triple in the 2008–09 campaign.
Astonishing accomplishment to say the least, Guardiola is the only manager in history to win the European treble with two separate clubs. Additionally, he is the sixth manager to claim two Champions League titles with various teams.
Ernst Happel accomplished it with Feyenoord and Hamburg. Ottmar Hitzfield, together with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, took first place. With Porto and Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho accomplished this milestone. Jupp Heyenckes triumphed with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
AC Milan and Real Madrid, under Carlo Ancelotti, took first and second place. With Barcelona and the Cityzens, Guardiola has already achieved this.
