Manchester City is aiming to win their second Champions League trophy in the 2024/25 season after securing their first triumph in 2023 under the guidance of Pep Guardiola. The team, which has become a mainstay in the competition over the last decade, completed a historic treble by defeating Inter 1-0 in the final.
