Why UEFA won’t allow Man City wear Champions League trophy next season

Manchester City will not get the honour of wearing the Champions League trophy on their shirts next season, despite winning the trophy on Saturday.

City completed the Treble by defeating Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul.

Rodri’s second-half goal proved to be decisive, although Ederson produced some key saves late on.

But despite winning the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history, a badge of the trophy won’t be on the sky blue City shirt next season.

That is because the UEFA Badge of Honour is not handed out just for winning Europe’s top competition once.

It was introduced at the start of the 2000/2001 season. To wear the famous trophy, clubs have to win a European title either five times or three times in succession.

That means only Barcelona, Liverpool, Ajax, Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Real Madrid can wear it.
