ISTANBUL :Manchester City's Champions League final victory over Inter Milan was"written in the stars", manager Pep Guardiola said after his side secured the treble on Saturday.
Not only that, but he is the first coach to win two trebles, having achieved the Spanish version as Barcelona manager in 2009, winning La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League. "It's an honour for me to be alongside Alex Ferguson," Guardiola told reporters."I had a message from this morning that touched me a lot, that was so nice."
"Inter are really good. Be patient, I said at halftime. You have to be lucky. This competition is a coin toss.Guardiola's side, who arrived in the final with only one defeat in their last 27 games in all competitions, were far from their best, although credit must go to Inter who disrupted City's rhythm with a tenacious display.
City will be going for a fourth successive Premier League crown next season and will be one of the favourites to claim the Champions League again.
