Manchester City beat Inter Milan in the final of the UEFA Champions League to complete the treble.
Rodri scored the only goal of the game as Pep Guardiola’s side claimed a 1-0 victory in Istanbul on Saturday night.
The triumph was also their first time of winning the prestigious European competition after missing out on it in 2021 against Chelsea.
Rodri scored the game's opening goal with a powerful strike inside the penalty box in the 68th minute of the game after great work from Bernardo Silva.
Inter looked to be getting the equaliser immediately with Di Marco’s header beating Ederson only to come off the crossbar.
Foden, who replaced Kevin de Bruyne in the 35th minute, should have put the game to bed but his shot after going through bodies fell into the hands of Andre Onana.
De Bruyne was forced out in a Champions League final for the second time in a row after his injury against Chelsea.
With two minutes until full time, Romelu Lukaku should have levelled the game for the Serie A side but his header just like previous efforts failed to hit the back of the net with Ederson pulling a fine save.
Despite five minutes being added, Inter failed to get anything better in added time as City went ahead to win the game.
The defeat also means all Italian teams who were in the final of the European competitions this season all lost the trophies after defeats to AS Roma and Fiorentina.
