Sydney FC's fifth championship makes them the most successful team in 43 years of Australian domestic football, while Melbourne City has written another sad chapter in their meandering existence | VinceRugari SMHsport
Melbourne City had their chances, but in the big moments, who stood up for them? Noone. Craig Noone, that is - the Englishman who had at least three clear opportunities to pull the trigger but refused to do so, for whatever reason. Socceroo Jamie Maclaren, the newly crowned golden boot, barely had a sniff.
Even The Cove got in a couple of jabs. "All that money, you're still Melbourne Heart," they chanted in the first half, referring to the unimaginable wealth of their owners, the City Football Group. That's not to say they weren't resilient in a different way. While Sydney's stars have been sleeping in their own beds, City's players, coaches and staff said goodbye to their friends and family in Melbourne two months ago to enter the A-League bubble. Their captain, Scott Jamieson, wasn't there on Sunday, having returned to Victoria to be with his heavily pregnant wife.
