The beautiful Wags of Man City's treble-winning squad turned in their numbers during the Cityzen's Champions League title celebrations.

Manchester City completed a historic season in the club’s history on Saturday night in Istanbul.

The Premier League champions recorded a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Inter Milan to life their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.

City came into the finals as the slight favourites with many tipping the best team inn the Premier League to go ahead and complete their treble dream when they faced Serie A giants Inter.

Both teams were resilient in the first half at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul. 

The two teams went into the break with nothing to separate them after 45 minutes in what was an extremely cagey affair.

However, the classy Sky Blues needed just one moment of brilliance to pen their names down in the history books as Rodri’s clinical finish in the 68th minute was enough to give Man City the trophy they had been desperately waiting for over the last 8 years.
