What a trip! Istanbul itself was great - brilliant vibe amongst the fans and the bars were open late.
Just a shame the stadium is so far away, not helped at all by UEFA's shambolic organisation. It's really unacceptable how badly the fans are treated at these events.
The game itself was hard to watch. Just so tense. But we battled through and got the result. I never ever thought I'd see the day where we become champions of Europe.
Fair play to the Inter fans - most of them stayed to watch the trophy presentation before leaving.
A brilliant end to the greatest season of all the time. Pep, the coaches and players can have a well deserved break now.

Agree on everything you say - most importantly, the points around UEFA. They really do need to sort their shit out as this final off the pitch was a shambles. Having City having to travel to a travel hub and then having to take shuttle buses for 2 hours to the ground and back with 45 minute queue outbound and 90 minutes after the game is a nonsense. Was speaking to the travel rep on way back at airport and he said the wait after the game for the buses back was down to Inter having 35 day trip packages and the police wanted to get them away. No way should that stadium be allowed to hold this final again
