    I left the house with shorts and T-shirts and got to the studio drenched with them stuck to me. I had rain, hailstones and wind. Four seasons in one hour.

  10. I think they want to keep the standards going into next seasonpublished at 19:03 British Summer Time 12 June 2023

    Man City fan Hoang Truong says the feeling of winning the Champions League still has not yet sunk in.

    Hoang tells the BBC he feels the "stars aligned" as goalscorer Rodri has the same shirt number as City icon Sergio Aguero wore when the Blues first won the Premier League in 2012.

    He explains: "I think Pep has really learned to adapt to the Champions League.

    "It is such a hard tournament to win. This is something i won't take for granted.

    "I think they want to keep the standards going into the next season. They don't want to stop, why not go for another one?"

    I live a few miles outside Manchester and I can hear either thunder or someone bringing the bins out.
