Julian Alvarez: World Cup Winner Makes History After Man City Win Champions League

• Manchester City have beaten Inter Milan 1-0 to win the 2023 UEFA Champions League
• Spanish midfielder sent a thunderous shot home in the second half to win it
• Argentine striker Julian Alvarez adds the UCL to his list of honours this season

Manchester City have completed the historic treble after beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final thanks to that powerful shot from Rodrigo.

The Citizens were favourites to win it against the Italians and even though they looked shaky at first and lost star man Kevin De Bruyne to a first-half injury, they found a way to win.

World Cup winner Julian Alvarez was an unused substitute but it did not rob him of making history after his team prevailed.

According to Squawka, he is the first player to win the World Cup and the treble in the same season.

Pep Guardiola’s historic record

The Argentine was not the only one to make history last night. As reported by ESPN, Pep Guardiola also got himself into the books by being the first manager to win the treble with different teams.

The Spaniard led former club FC Barcelona to a sextuple in the 2008/09 season. His first top-flight managerial experience. He won 14 trophies in 4 years with the Blaugrana.

He now has 14 trophies for City and 34 major trophies in his managerial career which started in 2008. If he keeps up the pace, he will surpass the record of 49 by Sir Alex Ferguson.
