Man City captain Gundogan: We made history - but were fortunate

Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan concedes they were "fortunate" to defeat Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

Rodri struck the second-half winner, though City still had to survive Fede Dimarco hitting the crossbar and Romelu Lukaku being denied late on by goalkeeper Ederson.

Gundogan said: "Unbelievable. Difficult to put in words. Today we made history,

"It was difficult for both teams. We weren't at our best in the first half. We were hesitating. We knew we had to do better in the second.

"It was probably a 50-50 game. We feel very fortunate it was for us.

"We knew everyone was talking about the Treble. The pressure was there but this team is built to handle the pressure in the best possible way."
