Rio Ferdinand lauded the Cityzens for their performance.Speaking after Manchester City’s remarkable achievement, Ferdinand said, “Immortal. Statues galore. They’ve earned it.
“Listen, this team has played a brand of football that is looked at around the world and is admired. This has been a project and a process for many years now with Pep Guardiola coming in.”
The Champions League trophy was missing from Man City’s cabinet but they have finally achieved the crowning glory with the win against Inter Milan at the Ataturk Stadium.
