“Manchester City” midfielder Rodri etched his name in the club's history with golden letters on Saturday.

It was the Spaniard's goal in the 68th minute that brought the club its first-ever UEFA Champions League trophies.

After the match, Rodri did not hide his joy, but criticized himself for his performance in the final until he scored the goal.

“This is a dream come true. Our fans have been waiting for this for a very long time. Both they and we really deserve it. In recent years, we have been close to this trophy, but something was always missing.

This final was very tough. We played against a very good team that had a clear game plan and stuck to it. We gave it our all.

I can say that I played very badly in the first part of the match. That's what finals are like. It's hard to expect everything to go as usual. Emotions and tension often take over, but we fought like beasts.

We are not going to stop. We want even more trophies,” - said the author of the winning goal after the final.
