They are ‘forever immortal’, says Rio Ferdinand of Manchester City after Champions League win
Manchester City are Champions League winners for the first time and have become only the second ever English team to complete the Treble.
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand called the City players “immortal”, while ex-England centre-back Jonathan Woodgate said manager Pep Guardiola is “the greatest”.
The Citizens defeated Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final, having already beaten rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup and lifted the Premier League title with three games to spare.
“Immortal, statues galore,” three-time Champions League finalist Ferdinand told BT Sport. “They have earned it. The scary thing for the rest of Europe is the relentless appetite.
“This feeling, if you could bottle it, you become addicted to it. It would not surprise me if they are here next year.”
