Fight and effort wasn’t our downfall in that final.
Despite some periods of possession and midfield domination, City were stifled and outplayed by Inter for the majority of this game.
Unfortunately, Inter hardly looked like scoring in a month of Sunday’s though.

I beg to differ. I thought the chances Inter created, bar Lukaku's gilt-edged chance, came from City's own doing. They played well but never really looked on top.
I'm finding it surreal to watch. Possibly shocked. Hard to explain.Why are any of you still watching

Shameful really, the game is fecked, it was fecked before City, can go back to the Bosman ruling that effectively turned the majority of the leagues into feeder systems for a select few leagues then clubs, creating the financial disparity that attracted the parasites.
The European Cup used to be something really special, now our best hope is attracting yet more dirty money into the game to create some balance. What a farce the game has become.

Casuals dont bother supporting teams, must be why I hardly notice them.
1. City's CL win and treble has been coming since 2019, was a matter of when and not if.
2. They saved us from 3 Liverpool titles let's not forget.
3. We won our treble with no charges, let alone 115.

Absolute copium from me, but winning a treble with a core of academy players, over a core of players purchased by financial doping, any day of the week for me.
Dimarco looked unstoppable today. Of course Lukaku stops another goal-bound shot, of course it had to be him.
I know it’s a United forum, but let’s not forget to praise the real hard working people at City here
Congratulations to City’s lawyers for winning at CAS making this historic moment possible!

What is actually wrong with these commentators, trying to create a 1bn pound fairytale.

I’m going to spin this as some kind of positive for the city of Manchester for the sake of my mental health
Why are any of you still watching
I've switched off now
Oh calm your tits its the only forum I post on and has been for like 8 years (6 years more than you). Not like I even tried to rub it in or take the piss, just commented on the match, had a dig at Lukaku and praised Inter.
Looks like an extra off Star Trek
The only cope from me is that trebles today aren't as special as they were when we won in 1999. With only a handful of megateams dominating nowadays, we now see a treble winner almost every season.
Pretty dark day for United (and Liverpool for that matter). The treble was our achievement and we now have to share that podium with City. It’s a day we’ve feared for a long time, City have threatened to win the champions league for the last 5 years.
Might sound bitter but their success isn’t as special as ours. United’s team was built around homegrown core and was a far more dramatic journey. City’s might have been all conquering but Peps had everything handed to him on a plate.
Only silver lining is that it might be mission accomplished for Pep and he rides off restoring a semblance is balance in English football.

If we end up being state owned, would a CL victory for us render itself meaningless as well? I’m genuinely curious as Id have mixed feelings myself

We get that every week pal.

Casuals don't go to the stadium, that's why they don't fill it.
But if you do a street poll in a neutral country probably city has more "fans".
Citeh fans be like: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/72/e6/a2/72e6a2acefbe6eaea92b85cf3c712f1f.jpg
The ref is giving everything to City so far. yellow card challenge not even given as a foul.
Almost feel sorry for the City players having to put up with their uninspiring fans, they almost deserve all the money they're being paid under the table for that alone. Imagine playing in a competition for a bunch of fans who boo the anthem every game. Hardly the stuff of dreams for a professional athlete.
Watching it on German TV and they had a long post match interview with Gundogan and he was showing about the same amount of excitement as if he'd just won a game of 5 a-side. Just feels so hollow and uninspiring, this isn't what people watch football for.

This isn’t bitter at all and I think 99% of neutrals would agree with you. I have family members who genuinely detest United but were cheering us on in the FA Cup final because City are such a joke.
It's not the state ownership by itself that's the issue. It's artificially inflating turnover etc etc which means they aren't on the same playing field as other teams.
Surprisingly most United fans I’ve spoken to about this seem fairly relaxed about it, considering what they’ve achieved, I think it’s because they still don’t really feel like rivals, Abu Dhabi athletic were always going to win things with unlimited resources,
If it was Liverpool I don’t think I could have handled it… I mean, imagine if this all gets overturned ffs

Yes, a thousand times yes.
Theirs isn't meaningless and ours wouldn't be meaningless either. Anybody claiming otherwise is coping long and hard.
It would be poetic, if the season after winning the treble, they are stripped of their titles and relegated.
Who's going to be their David May in the pictures?
Phillips?
Phillips?
Why would Liverpool be upset for Man City winning the same treble we did back in 99?
They will probably be celebrating just as much as the British media are celebrating it right now.
Why are any of you still watching
I watched the officials and Inter get their medals and then turned it off.
Very very petty and small time, but worth it.
This team would walk all over the '99 team, don't delude yourselves.
City is a hollow club anyway

Just shows how the mighty have fallen when we’ve got to rely on others to save our legacy. They’ll be more success for these plastics before we get our act together. LUG
Congratulations to City's players and coach. Outstanding team. (I'm saying nothing about what goes on off the pitch). There, I've said it.
Dont be so harsh on their owner. He once attended a game in 2010 so please give credit both ways when its due.
he even gave a thumbs up
Yeah much like nowadays car would beat a reliant robin in a race. Cant be compared.
Did Rio Ferdinand grow up as a City fan?
They can't be compared. Such different eras of football.
you sure showed me
