⚽ Man City’s success in Champions League final is both a sporting victory and a realisation of geopolitical ambition 🖋️ danielstorey85 for ipaperviews
They knew that this moment might come, of course, but they did not dare to think how they might react when they were placed in it, because to do so would be to tempt fate and that is the most foolish thing a finalist can do. So the running, the leaping and the zig-zagging happens through pure instinct.
finals have ended this way. But if you were going to pick a goal for your first European Cup win, it would come with some wishes and City supporters got all of them. In front of them? Check. A relieving release? You bet. This was not the final that most people predicted. There was little of City’s irrepressible control that we have witnessed far more often than not.Two reasons jump out at why that might be. The first is thatare a good football team who have reached the Champions League final too. We have watched City put four past Real Madrid and three past Bayern, but so too had Simone Inzaghi. So they set up to spoil, to fluster, to downright annoy. They stayed down five seconds longer than they needed to.
