2023 UEFA Champions League final

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. It was played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, on 10 June 2023, between English club Manchester City and Italian club Inter Milan, with Manchester City 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. 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 the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup; they went on to win both competitions. They also qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup through UEFA's champions pathway (winners of the 2021–2024 Champions Leagues).

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. 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.

For Manchester City, this was their third European final and second European Cup/Champions League final appearance; they won the 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup final but lost the 2021 UEFA Champions League final 1–0 to Chelsea, who were the most recent new European champions, having won in 2012. Manager Pep Guardiola was looking to win his third UEFA Champions League title and the first since 2011 with former employers Barcelona, when they beat Manchester United 3–1 at Wembley Stadium. He was also aiming to become the first manager to win two European trebles, having done so with Barcelona in 2008–09. Additionally, Manchester City were attempting to secure the continental treble, having earlier won the Premier League and FA Cup. After West Ham United's triumph in the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League final three days earlier, they became the English team with the longest European major trophy drought—53 years since their latest triumph.

On the other hand, this was Inter Milan's twelfth European final and sixth European Cup/Champions League final appearance, having won 3–1 in 1964 against Real Madrid, 1–0 against Benfica at home in 1965, and 2–0 against Bayern Munich in 2010, resulting in Inter completing the continental treble; they also lost 2–1 to Celtic in 1967 and 2–0 to Ajax in 1972, enabling those clubs to win the continental treble themselves. The club had also contested five UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League finals, winning in 1991, 1994, and 1998 as well as losing in 1997 and 2020. They also contested the 2010 UEFA Super Cup, losing 2–0 to Atlético Madrid. Inter was also the most recent Italian club to win the Champions League; since 2010 only one other Italian club—Juventus—had reached the Champions League final, losing in 2015 and 2017. Having won the 2023 Coppa Italia final against Fiorentina, Inter were attempting to win a cup double. Manager Simone Inzaghi was aiming for his first European title as manager and the second in his football career, having won against Manchester United in the 1999 UEFA Super Cup as a Lazio player. Their midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan was aiming to become the 11th player to have won all three major European trophies and the first to have achieved that with three different clubs, having won the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League with Manchester United and the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League with Roma.

This was the first meeting in UEFA competitions between City and Inter. City had won six matches against Italian clubs, while Inter had won 16 matches against English clubs.

In the following table, finals until 1992 were in the European Cup era and since 1993 were in the UEFA Champions League era.

This was the second UEFA Champions League final played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium; the first was held in 2005, when Liverpool secured their fifth title after defeating Milan on penalties.
