dan roan reports.ester, to put us in the coach with the three trophies. it is an honourfor me — an honour for me to be alongside sir alex ferguson in that situation. i have to say, i got a message from him this morning in my phone that touched me a lot. so, it is an honourfor me to be with him in this place. city had arrived here firm favourites against inter milan, but this was far from the procession many predicted and it was well into the second half before rodri and his classy finish put them ahead. 0wner sheikh mansour, whose billions made it possible, watching his team in person forjust the second time. but inter milan responded and martinez was unlucky not once, but twice as his follow—up off the bar was blocked by his own player. 18 years ago, liverpool famously triumphed here after a miraculous comeback and with time running out, ederson produced a save that defied belief. shortly after, he was needed yet again, but this was city�*s night. the fear their great manchester rivals managed feat 24

he has been speaking to dan roan. never, ever misses! this man is a sensation. you're going to be that, there's certain things you have to do different. you have to live different. you have to do this and that. and that's just how it is. and, yeah, i'm i'm not complaining. your dream, you say, was to be the best in the world. have you achieved that dream? do you believe you are the best goal—scorer in the world right now? eh, a good question. i don't want to answer that. i think someone else should answer that. but i scored most goals this season, ithink, so, erm, that's a good start. in an astonishing campaign, the prolific haaland has scored 52 goals for his club, including 36 in the premier league, a new record. and haaland does what haaland does. is there something which you can identify as the secret to being such a great goal—scorer? for me, it's about keeping the confidence and i try to never overthink. that's the most difficult thing in this world in 2023. when i score a goal, it's like, oh, this feeling is so nice, i would love to do it again, kind of a

dan roan looks ahead for the size of the task ahead _ one last pep talk before a date with destiny. but there's also huge admiration for the way they play and the way they've invested their wealth. what's certain is that victory here would signify a shift in the balance of power in european club football. opponents inter milan are bidding to be champions of europe for the fourth time, but not since 2010 have they managed that. the italians seen a surprise finalists. i hope we win the game and to make score is not so important. important is more to win the game. but of course i will try and give my best. the last english club to win the treble was manchester united back in 1999. now, for the first time in a generation, their arch rivals can emulate them and confirm their status as a true footballing superpower. what a story that would be. fans here _ what a story that would be. fans here with — what a story that would be. fans here with us. darren, talk us through— here with us. darren, talk us through your flag. we here with us. darren, talk us through your flag. we brought the flat
