City have been no strangers to success in European Football.

It was Stanislaw Oslizlo who would go on to score the only goal for the Polish outfit on that day (68’).

In 2023, the Cityzens became the Champions of Europe for the very first time when they were 1 – 0 winners against Italian Giants Inter Milan in Istanbul. Spanish international midfielder Rodri was the scorer of what was a spectacular winning goal, which came at the midway point of the game’s second half (68’).
