Man City won’t wear Champions League emblem next season despite Istanbul win

Manchester City won their first Champions League trophy in history and put their name in the history books after defeating Inter in the final.

The English team were able to complete a treble on Saturday after recently winning the FA Cup and the Premier League this season. 

Rodri’s goal was enough to help Manchester City lift the UCL trophy for the first time in their history.

However, despite their victory on Saturday, Man City won’t be putting on the Champions League golden badge on their jersey next season.

Manchester City’s win against Inter Milan in Istanbul on Saturday night was not enough to put them among teams that can wear the emblem.

Teams that have won a European championship five times in total or three times straight are the only ones eligible to get the UEFA Badge of Honour.

Since its introduction at the start of the millennium, just seven sides have met the requirements.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Ajax, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, and Liverpool are among them. The Reds have won the Champions League six times in club history.

Despite defeating Inter Milan to claim European victory on Saturday night, Manchester City will not have the privilege of a Champions League trophy crested on their jersey next season. 

An important turning point in City's history occurred when they defeated Inter 1-0 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

After winning the Premier League and the FA Cup over the past two weeks, City completed an incredible treble with Rodri's second-half goal.

After years of significant financial investment in the team, owner Sheikh Mansour witnessed the Sky Blues win the Champions League for the first time.

Man City’s Champions League triumph against Inter makes it their first and manager Pep Guardiola’s third UCL trophy in his career.
