(Reuters) -Peugeot led the centenary Le Mans 24 Hours race into Sunday morning after reigning champions Toyota lost one of their two cars and Ferrari spun out of the lead in tricky conditions.

With more than eight hours gone at the Sarthe circuit, the number 94 Peugeot with Nico Muller at the wheel had a 90-second lead over the pole-setting number 50 Ferrari before pitting under safety car conditions.

The number seven Toyota shared by Kamui Kobayashi, Britain’s Mike Conway and Argentina’s Jose Maria Lopez stopped on the Mulsanne straight with the Japanese trying to continue but finally giving up and getting out.

Organisers said the car was involved in an incident at Tertre Rouge.

Toyota are seeking a sixth successive win but their hopes now rest on the number eight car that triumphed last year with Sebastien Buemi of Switzerland, New Zealander Brendon Hartley and Japan’s Ryo Hirakawa.

That car was still very much in the reckoning with 15 hours remaining.

Ferrari’s Italian Alessandro Pier Guidi had led Muller by 47 seconds in the Italian marque’s 51 car but spun off at the first chicane on the Mulsanne straight, requiring assistance to get going again.

Britain’s Nick Tandy had led in the number 75 Porsche Penske 963 entry as the clock reached six hours, but he pitted soon after with the Hypercar hierarchy far from settled and rain falling.

The opening hours were punctuated by occasional rain and a track dry in places and wet elsewhere.

“It was very difficult to keep the car on track,” said Spaniard Miguel Molina who shares the 50 Ferrari with Italian Antonio Fuoco and Denmark’s Nicklas Nielsen.

“We are trying to avoid any risk or anything…maybe the people forget a bit that it’s a 24 hour race.”

The number 38 non-factory Jota Porsche 963 led in the fifth hour but China’s Ye Yifei crashed heavily at the Porsche Curves with the car’s rear bodywork torn off in the sideways impact with the tyre wall.

The car spent 20 minutes in the garage before returning to the track.

Toyota had led the 51 Ferrari by 4.6 seconds at the first hour marker after U.S. basketball great LeBron James waved the French flag to start the race.

The safety cars came out after Jack Aitken crashed the 311 Action Express Cadillac at the first chicane exit on a damp opening lap and ploughed into the metal barriers.

The Briton was able to nurse the damaged car back to the pits, despite a broken front left suspension, with mechanics working to get it back out.

The 62-car field was led to the start flag by nine-times winner and grand marshall Tom Kristensen of Denmark in front of more than 300,000 spectators.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi expressed his pride at what his team had achieved even though they suffered a bitter loss to Manchester City in the Champions League final on Saturday.

Inzaghi’s side lost the final 1-0 after a second-half goal from Rodri, but the 47-year-old Inzaghi remained upbeat after a tough season in which he came under heavy pressure before guiding his side to third place in Serie A as well as winning the Italian Cup and Super Cup.

“On a night like this, I can’t single players out who played below par. I said yesterday I would not change my players for anyone else, and tonight the world saw why,” Inzaghi told Sky Sports Italia.

“They showed the whole world how well they stood up to Manchester City, a side that everyone knows has so much quality.

“I hugged my players one by one, as they were extraordinary, just as our fans were and deserved a different result, but I hope they were happy seeing the way the team played tonight.”

Inzaghi has faced harsh criticism from fans and media.

“Both I and my players were attacked and admittedly we lost some games that we shouldn’t have lost, but I think we learned valuable lessons from those defeats,” he said, pointing out that the team had won four trophies over the last two years.

“With this spirit, organisation and determination, I think we will be back here again in future,” he added.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Manchester City’s Champions League final victory over Inter Milan was “written in the stars”, manager Pep Guardiola said after his side completed the treble on Saturday.

The 52-year-old Spaniard completed his collection at City as compatriot Rodri fired home the only goal in the 68th minute for a hard-fought 1-0 victory against the dogged Italians.

He has now emulated Alex Ferguson whose Manchester United side also swept to a Premier League/FA Cup/Champions League treble in 1999 and has delivered 12 major trophies for City.

Not only that, but he is the first coach to win two trebles, having achieved the Spanish version as Barcelona manager in 2009, winning La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League.

Guardiola has now claimed three Champions League titles as a manager and only Carlo Ancelotti with four has won more.

But his side were made to suffer against an Inter outfit who threatened to extend City’s wait for the trophy that owner Sheikh Mansour has longed for since buying the club in 2008.

“Tired. Calm. Satisfied. It’s so difficult to win it,” said an emotional Guardiola after hugging every one of his players and the club’s hierarchy.

“Inter are really good. Be patient, I said at halftime. You have to be lucky. This competition is a coin toss.

“It was written in the stars. It belongs to us.”

Guardiola’s side, who arrived in the final with only one defeat in their last 27 games in all competitions, were far from their best, although credit must go to an Inter side who executed their game plan and disrupted City’s rhythm.

City also had to recover from the blow of losing chief playmaker Kevin De Bruyne to injury in the first half while Erling Haaland, scorer of 52 goals this season, was well shackled by Inter’s defence.

“We weren’t at our best level. After the World Cup the team made a step forward and we were there. It wasn’t our best performance,” Guardiola said.

City will be going for a fourth successive Premier League crown next season and will be one of the favourites to claim the Champions League again, having ended their long wait.

“I don’t have any energy to think about next season, it’s impossible. We need a break, it’s too long,” Guardiola said.

“Our players have international games now. UEFA and FIFA, think about it. The Premier League finished two or three weeks ago, now people have to come back. It’s too much. We will start from zero next season.”

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Manchester City scorer Rodri was named UEFA’s man-of-the-match, but goalkeeper Ederson made a strong case for the award after his inspired saves kept Inter Milan at bay in the Champions League final on Saturday.

Rodri’s cool finish in the 68th minute earned City their long-awaited first Champions League title, but only after Brazilian Ederson kept them in the match with a brilliant point-blank save to deny Lautaro Martinez.

“The defeat teaches a lot, it was five years of disappointments, we were shattered, but we picked up the pieces and rebuilt ourselves. And the new pieces that arrived helped a lot too,” Ederson told Brazilian TV channel TNT Sports.

Inter were starting to cause trouble for a nervous City when Manuel Akanji delivered a hospital pass intended for Bernardo Silva and Lautaro anticipated it to go one-on-one with Ederson.

The Brazilian keeper, however, made himself big to limit Lautaro’s angles and blocked the Argentine’s strike with his body.

After Rodri scored, Inter pressed for a late equaliser and Ederson made two brilliant stops at the death.

In the 88th minute, he kept out a point-blank header from substitute Romelu Lukaku and in the last play of the match, Ederson shone again as a corner was taken to the near post where Francesco Acerbi flicked the ball into the box and Ederson made a diving save moments before the final whistle.

“This year I dedicated myself a lot, worked hard, gave up a lot of things to be rewarded,” Ederson said.

“I am still in a state of ecstasy, I want to enjoy it now, enjoy it, enjoy it with my family too. Now it’s time to celebrate.”

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Pep Guardiola became the first manager in Europe to win two trebles as Manchester City completed a dream season by beating Inter Milan 1-0 to secure their first Champions League title on Saturday.

City completed the treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup titles, matching Manchester United’s feat in 1999 and drawing comparisons with Guardiola’s 2008-09 Barcelona team.

Here is how the 2022-23 City side stack up against that Barca team.

TEAM STRENGTHS

Guardiola’s 2008-09 Barca had a squad including some of the best Spanish players of their generation, defenders Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique, and midfielders Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta who were the core of the national team who won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Brazilian full back Dani Alves was a menace down the right channel, supplying one of the best strike forces in the history of club football — Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto’o and Thierry Henry.

Manchester City have one of the greatest club squads ever assembled.

The likes of forward Julian Alvares, a starter for Argentina in last year’s World Cup triumph, England midfielder Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez all struggle to nail down a first-team spot.

The addition of Erling Haaland turned Guardiola’s City into a juggernaut, with the 22-year-old Norwegian striker surpassing Mohamed Salah’s record of 32 goals in a 38-game Premier League season and beating Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, who managed 34 each when it was a 42-match competition.

GAME STYLE

Guardiola’s Barca were well known for their unique possession game which dazzled opponents with quick short passes, intelligent movement and positional interchange in a style called “Tiki-Taka”.

One of the great tactical revolutions also helped Spain to dominate world football, winning won two European championships and a World Cup.

At City, Guardiola presented an evolution of “total football”, creating a near perfect fluid system in which almost no player remained in a fixed role, complemented by a relentless high press.

City are flexible and can change systems when required. Last year, they won the Premier League without a centre forward and with Haaland they have a battering ram up-front which allows them to adopt a more direct style.

CAMPAIGNS

Barca won the 2008-09 LaLiga title with 87 points, nine more than Real Madrid, scored 105 goals and finished the season with an unbeaten run of 22 matches.

Messi, Eto’o and Henry scored a 100 goals in all competitions with the Argentine netting 38 and Eto’o finishing as LaLiga’s top scorer with 30 strikes.

They beat Manchester United in the Champions League final 2-0 thanks to goals by Eto’o and Messi.

This year’s Premier League title was Guardiola’s fifth with City as they became only the second club to win it three years in a row and the fifth in the history of league football in England.

They will bid next year to become the first club to win the Premier League four times in a row.

City beat Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final and became only the second English team to win the treble.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) -Manchester City finally extended their domestic domination across the continent as they beat Inter Milan 1-0 to win the Champions League for the first time and complete a rare treble on a Saturday night of frayed nerves .

Pre-match talk of a stroll to European soccer’s most-cherished crown proved off the mark, however, and it took a Rodri goal after 68 minutes to crack Inter’s resistance.

Even then City’s massed ranks had their heads in their hands as Inter threatened to drag a cagey final into extra time with goalkeeper Ederson making two superb late saves.

An eruption of joy greeted the final whistle with City’s players sprinting towards their fans in the Ataturk Stadium.

“You have to be lucky … It was written in the stars. It belongs to us,” said City manager Pep Guardiola. “With this competition, the treble is so difficult.”

City not only won their first European trophy since claiming the now-defunct European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1970, they also became only the second English team to win a treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, matching Manchester United’s sweep in 1999 when City were in the third-tier.

Inter, bidding to lift the trophy for a fourth time, stifled Guardiola’s side with a superbly-executed game plan in the first half in which City’s Kevin De Bruyne went off injured.

City may have experienced a horrible sense of deja-vu as chief playmaker De Bruyne also failed to finish the final two years ago when City fell short against Chelsea.

Even City’s Norwegian goal-machine Erling Haaland found himself shackled, but in the end Spanish midfielder Rodri, starting his 52nd game of the season, came to the rescue.

LIVING THE DREAM

“Emotional. A dream come true. All these guys around here waited I don’t know how many years. They deserve, we deserve,” Rodri told BT Sport as Guardiola hugged his players and City’s fans sang the name of Sheikh Mansour, whose takeover of the club in 2008 has turned City into serial trophy-winners.

“It wasn’t easy. What a team we faced, the way they defend and counter-attack. Finals are like this. Emotions and nerves are there. We competed like animals.”

City have now won 17 trophies since the 2008 takeover, although there is a cloud on the horizon with the club faced with 100 charges of alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations dating back to 2009.

On Saturday alongside the Bosphorous, that was the last thing City’s joyous fans cared about as they serenaded their side with club anthem Blue Moon a collection of hits by Oasis, whose brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are staunch fan.

In finally guiding City to the European Holy Grail after some gut-wrenching near misses, Guardiola became the first manager to achieve two trebles in European football, having done the Spanish equivalent with Barcelona in 2009.

He has delivered 12 major trophies for City since 2016 and, with the Champions League jinx broken, any sense of inferiority they may have felt to established European royalty like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool has been swept away.

“We want more,” Rodri warned.

PLAYERS DELIVER

Guardiola’s side fluffed their lines in Porto two years ago against Chelsea. This time Guardiola and his players delivered, although it was never going to be straightforward.

Simone Inzaghi’s side disrupted City’s rhythm in the first half with their back three of Matteo Darmian, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni superb behind a tireless midfield guard.

Haaland had two efforts, the second saved superbly by Andre Onana, but Guardiola looked anxious on the touchline — and even more so when De Bruyne was forced off in the 36th minute.

City were unusually sloppy after the break with passes going astray, with one from Manuel Akanji playing in Lautaro Martinez who selfishly failed to pick out substitute Romelu Lukaku.

Inter’s fans grew increasingly vocal while City’s were virtually silent at the other end but all that changed when Bernardo Silva found some space in the blue and black wall and his cut back was dispatched by Rodri.

To their credit, Inter responded immediately and came agonisingly close to an equaliser when Federico Dimarco looped a header against the bar with Ederson beaten and then saw his follow-up header hit Lukaku, who had replaced Edin Dzeko.

Lukaku went even closer near the end when his point-blank header was somehow kept out by Ederson who then made another save from Francesco Acerbi. It was City’s night.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Manchester City ended a sensational season by beating Inter Milan 1-0 to win the Champions League for the first time and complete the treble on a Saturday evening of frayed nerves.

Spanish midfielder Rodri’s 68th-minute goal settled a cagey game which a far-from-fluent City dominated without ever looking comfortable against the three-times winners from Italy at the Ataturk Stadium.

Inter almost levelled at the death when a point-blank header by substitute Romelu Lukaku was saved by Ederson.

But City, who lost in the final two years ago against Chelsea, would not be denied.

“Emotional. A dream come true. All these guys around here waited I don’t know how many years. They deserve, we deserve,” Rodri said.

In being crowned champions of Europe, they matched the treble achieved by Manchester United in 1999 of lifting the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League crowns.

City manager Pep Guardiola has now won the Champions League three times and took his trophy count with City to 12.

It was far from a fluent City performance, however, against a tireless Inter side who looked capable of causing a shock.

City were stifled in the first half and their fans were reduced to near silence at times as the nerves became frayed.

With Kevin de Bruyne off injured, City struggled to create chances and were wobbly at the back but in the end the ever-reliable Rodri came to the rescue.

For once Inter could not close down the spaces and Bernardo Silva’s cutback was swept home by the Spaniard.

Even then, City were forced to go to the wire at the end of long season with Lautaro Martinez hitting the bar for Inter and Lukaku denied by s superb Ederson save at the death.

He has won 12 trophies with City since taking charge in 2016 and with the Champions League jinx broken, any sense of inferiority City may have suffered to the established European royalty of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool has gone.

City still must defend themselves against more than 100 alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations dating back to 2009, but that is for another day.
