2023 UEFA Champions League final

October 24, 2023

The 2023 UEFA Champions League final was the final match of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, the 68th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA and the 31st season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. It was played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, on 10 June 2023,[5] between English club Manchester City and Italian club Inter Milan, with the former winning 1–0 via a second-half goal by Rodri, who was named man of the match by UEFA. For Manchester City, this was their first-ever European Cup, and first European trophy since 1970. Having earlier won the Premier League and FA Cup titles, they achieved the continental treble, only the second time it had been achieved in English men's football history.[6][7] As winners, Manchester City earned the right to play against Sevilla, the winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League, in the 2023 UEFA Super Cup, as well as qualifying for both the 2023 and 2025 FIFA Club World Cups.

The final was originally scheduled to be played at Wembley Stadium in London, England. However, due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the scheduled hosts for subsequent finals were shifted back a year, and the Allianz Arena in Munich was assigned the 2023 final.[8] When the 2021 final, which had been scheduled to be played in Istanbul, also had to be relocated due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2023 final was given to Istanbul instead, and Munich received the 2025 final.[9]

Background Edit

This was the first meeting in UEFA competitions between Manchester City and Inter Milan. For Manchester City, this was their second UEFA Champions League final appearance since the appointment of Pep Guardiola, and the first since 2021 where they lost 1–0 to Chelsea at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto. Guardiola was looking to win his first UEFA Champions League final since 2011 with former employers Barcelona, when they beat Manchester United 3–1 at Wembley Stadium. Additionally, Manchester City were attempting to secure the continental treble, having earlier won the Premier League and FA Cup titles. On the other hand, this was Inter Milan's sixth UEFA Champions League final appearance, having won 3–1 in 1964 against Real Madrid at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion, 1–0 against Benfica at their home ground the San Siro in 1965 and 2–0 against Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in 2010 (resulting in Inter completing the continental treble); they also lost 2–1 to Celtic at the Estádio Nacional in 1967 and 2–0 to Ajax at De Kuip in 1972. Manchester City had won six matches against Italian clubs, while Inter had won sixteen matches against English clubs.[10] Inter were hoping to complete a cup double of their own, having earlier won the 2023 Coppa Italia final against Fiorentina.[11]

Venue Edit

 
The Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul hosted the final.

This was the second UEFA Champions League final played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium; the first was held in 2005 between AC Milan and Liverpool.[12]

Host selection Edit

For the details on the selection of London as the original host for the final, see 2024 UEFA Champions League final § Host selection.

An open bidding process was launched on 22 February 2019 by UEFA to select the 2022 and 2023 UEFA Champions League final venues.[13] National associations had until 22 March 2019 to express interest, and bid dossiers had to be submitted by 1 July 2019.[14]

While the bidding associations were not confirmed by UEFA, the German Football Association was reported to have bid with the Allianz Arena in Munich, should they not be awarded the 2021 final.[15] The Allianz Arena was selected by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 24 September 2019,[16] where the hosts for the 2021 and 2022 finals were also appointed.[17]

On 17 June 2020, the UEFA Executive Committee announced that due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Munich would instead host the 2023 edition.[8] Istanbul had initially been appointed for the 2021 final, but after it was relocated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were awarded the 2023 final; Munich would host the 2025 final instead.[9]

Pre-match Edit

Identity Edit

The visual identity of the 2023 UEFA Champions League final was unveiled at the group stage draw in Istanbul on 25 August 2022.[44]

Officials Edit

 
Polish referee Szymon Marciniak officiated the final.

On 22 May 2023, Polish referee Szymon Marciniak was appointed to take charge of the final by UEFA, along with fellow Poles: Paweł Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz as assistant referees and Tomasz Kwiatkowski as the video assistant referee.[45][2] The four officials had all previously officiated together in the World Cup final six months prior.[46][47] They were joined by fellow countryman Bartosz Frankowski as assistant VAR, with Romanian István Kovács appointed as the fourth official.[2] Some controversy regarding the appointment was raised in early June due to multiple media reports that Marciniak had been present at an event organised by Sławomir Mentzen, a right-wing Polish politician and leader of the libertarian New Hope party.[48][49] UEFA investigated the incident and subsequently decided to maintain the original refereeing line-up on 2 June, having acknowledged Marciniak's "profound apologies and clarification".[50]

Ambassador Edit

The ambassador for the final was former Turkish international Hamit Altıntop, who was originally the ambassador for 2020 and 2021 finals before those matches were relocated to Lisbon and Porto, respectively.[51]

Opening ceremony Edit

The opening ceremony before the match, officially known as the 2023 UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show by Pepsi for sponsorship reasons, featured Swedish DJ Alesso, Nigerian singer Burna Boy and Brazilian singer Anitta.[52][53] Hungarian pianist Ádám György performed a special rendition of the UEFA Champions League Anthem as the teams walked out for the match.[54]

Ticketing Edit

With a stadium capacity of 72,000 for the final, a total amount of 47,200 tickets were available to fans and the general public, with the two finalist teams receiving 20,000 tickets each, and with the other tickets sold to fans worldwide via UEFA.com from 21 to 28 April 2023 in four price categories: €690, €490, €180 and €70. Accessibility tickets for disabled spectators cost €70. The remaining tickets were allocated to the local organising committee, national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme.[55]

Match Edit

Summary Edit

 
City midfielder Rodri was named man of the match after scoring its only goal.

Manchester City began the final with Kyle Walker on the bench and replaced by Nathan Aké in the starting line-up in an unexpected change; Inter Milan retained the same starting line-up that had played in previous rounds.[56] The two sides had scoring chances early in the first half, but Inter's André Onana made two saves to prevent City from taking the lead.[57] A misplayed pass from Ederson in the 26th minute was stolen by Nicolò Barella, but his shot over the goalkeeper missed.[58][59] Kevin De Bruyne left the match in the 36th minute with a hamstring injury and was replaced by Phil Foden.[60] The first half ended scoreless, with Inter playing defensively to prevent City from gaining momentum.[57][59]

Romelu Lukaku was brought on to replace former City striker Edin Džeko early in the second half and immediately produced a chance from a header. In the 59th minute, Ederson failed to collect a backpass from Manuel Akanji which was found by Inter's Lautaro Martínez; his shot from near the touchline was blocked by Ederson.[59] Rodri scored the opening goal for City in the 68th minute by finishing a pulled-back pass that Bernardo Silva sent from near the goal to the top of the penalty area.[57][58] Inter had a chance to equalise three minutes later through a header by defender Federico Dimarco that hit the crossbar. Dimarco tried to capitalise on the rebound as well, but his shot was blocked by Lukaku.[57] The Belgian striker had his own chance to score from a close-range header in the 89th minute, which Ederson blocked with his legs.[59] The Brazilian made an additional save in stoppage time off Robin Gosens's header to preserve a 1–0 victory for City.[58]

Statistics Edit

Post-match Edit

 
Manchester City's Pep Guardiola won his third Champions League title as a manager, and fourth overall.

With their victory, Manchester City secured their first UEFA Champions League title, the first new winners of the competition since fellow English club Chelsea in 2012. City became the sixth English club, and 23rd overall team, to win the European Cup, which marked the 15th time an English club were champions of the competition.[63] Manchester City also completed the tenth continental treble in European football history, doing so as the eighth overall team and second English club after city rivals Manchester United in 1998–99.[64] It was the 15th occasion a club won the European Cup unbeaten, with City the 11th club to accomplish the feat.[65]

Pep Guardiola won his third Champions League final as a manager after his two titles with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, becoming the second-most successful coach in the competition, behind Carlo Ancelotti's four victories.[66] He also became the first manager to win two European trebles, having also done so with Barcelona in 2008–09.[67] It was Guardiola's twelfth major trophy with Manchester City; after the match, he stated that "it was written in the stars that we'd win this season—and we did."[64] City midfielder Rodri, who scored the lone goal of the game, was selected as the man of the match by UEFA's technical observers.[1] Backup goalkeeper Scott Carson was the only City player to have previously won the competition, doing so as a reserve for Liverpool in 2005 at the same stadium. He thus equalled the record for the longest gap between a first and last European Cup title, shared with Milan's Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Costacurta.[68] Forward Julián Álvarez, who won the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina six months prior, became the first player to win the treble and World Cup in the same season. This also made him the tenth player to accomplish the European Cup and World Cup double.[69]

As winners, Manchester City qualified for the 2023 UEFA Super Cup, where they defeated Spanish club Sevilla, winners of the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League, on penalties following a 1–1 draw after extra time.[70][71] City also qualified for two editions of the FIFA Club World Cup: the 2023 tournament held in December with seven teams, and the expanded 32-team tournament in 2025.[72] Following the Nerazzurri defeat, Italian teams became the first in European football history to finish runners-up in each men's UEFA competition in a single season, including Roma and Fiorentina's losses in the Europa League final and in the Europa Conference League final, respectively.[73]
