The ten months long 2022-23 club football season has come to an end and we finally have a historic Champions League winner with Manchester City.

In Istanbul, City overcame Inter Milan 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final to claim the first UCL trophy in the club's history. The Premier League champions made history when they won the treble, becoming only the second English team to do it after Manchester United.

Like every season, this one also has seen a lot of individuals and teams put in exceptional performances. As we bid farewell to another memorable season, here are some of the key statistics and highlights from the UEFA Champions League 2022-23 campaign-
