When Manchester City wanted to celebrate the treble, the storm came. The party was postponed – and then took place.
Due to warnings of severe storms, the start of the Champions League winners Manchester City’s celebrations was postponed by an hour on Monday evening. When the triumphant ride of the newly crowned Champions League winner with the three trophies of the season began slightly delayed after a violent summer storm, the streets in the center of the 600,000-inhabitant metropolis were bathed in a sea of sky-blue colors filled with tens of thousands of joyful fans.
Captain Ilkay Gündogan and his teammates took turns showing the trophies for their successes in the championship, FA Cup and Champions League. To the loop of “We are the champions” team manager Pep Guardiola’s players sang to themselves and the fans sang to their players.
Again and again, the fans of the “Citizens” demanded Gündogan with the trophies in the front row in addition to the appearances of Champions League hero Rodri or record goalscorer Erling Haaland. “Thank you for the great support throughout the season, it was incredible. Now we have three trophies”Gundogan said.
Man City is copying their rivals United
Man City won the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history with a 1-0 (0-0) win over Inter Milan on Saturday (06/10/2023) and thus made the historic title triple perfect, which previously had only been achieved by local rivals Manchester United in England succeeded in 1999. Spaniard Rodri scored the winning goal for Man City.
Two years ago, the team failed in the final at Chelsea. Last year, the Cityzens were eliminated by Real Madrid in the semifinals.
