Manchester City attacker Jack Grealish paid tribute to Citizens head coach Pep Guardiola following Saturday night's 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

Rodri's second-half goal proved to be the difference between the two sides in Istanbul, with Man City winning the Champions League for the first time in their history.

The Citizens had entered the match as double winners, having claimed the Premier League title and FA Cup crown this term, but they have now completed a famous treble.

Man City have become just the second English club after Manchester United in 1999 to secure the three trophies in question, and Grealish played the full 90 minutes of the contest.

The England international admitted that he was not pleased with his own performance during the match but was delighted to be able to contribute to his side's one-goal success.

"This is what you work your whole life for. I'm so happy. I was awful but I don't care. To win the treble with this group of players is so special," Grealish told BT Sport.

"Everyone who knows me knows how much I love football and this is what I have worked for my whole life. Seeing my family in the crowd makes me so emotional.

"i just said to the manager 'I want to thank you'. He has put so much faith in me. He is a genius."

The 27-year-old has been a vital player for Guardiola's side during the 2022-23 campaign, contributing five goals and 11 assists in 50 appearances in all competitions.

Grealish contributed five goals and seven assists in 28 Premier League appearances, while he managed three assists in five outings in the FA Cup.

The attacker only managed one assist in 13 Champions League outings in 2022-23, but he was trusted by Guardiola to play the full 90 minutes in the final five games in the competition.

Kevin de Bruyne had to depart the field in the first half through injury, with Phil Foden entering as his replacement, and Man City found it difficult to show their best football during long spells of the contest.

Inter will feel that they should have levelled late on, with Romelu Lukaku inadvertently blocking a header from his own teammate Federico Dimarco before the Belgium international was denied by Ederson in the final exchanges. body check tags ::
