Man City led the match with a score of 1-0 thanks to an unexpected goal from Rodri in the 68th minute.
Manchester City can hang on to this lead, they are very good at keeping the ball. Foden had a good chance to put this game to an end, but the Inter Milan goal Keeper kept it out. Inter Milan coach has tried to make some changes, but there are no many known players in this Inter Milan that can change this game. Lukaku had a good and free header to extend the game, but decided to make the poor decision of heading it straight to the goal keeper. Too bad for Inter Milan, with just a few minutes left, I do not think Inter Milan will have a better opportunity than what they got with Lukaku.

PEP MINI HEART ATTACK LMAOOO!!!
Inter are playing very well so far but what I see at the moment are mistakes.
Manchester City finally score a goal in one quick moment. A goal for Rodrigo, and an important one for Manchester City in their quest to win the champions league for the first time. Manchester City have not been the best team and do not deserve that goal, but they have it and Inter Milan now have to struggle to try to score against Manchester City that their defence has been very good this season in the champions league. This Manchester City goal will force Inter Milan to change their approach in the remaining moment of this game to try to break Manchester City defence and get an equalising goal. There is still a lot to play for and Manchester City do not need to relax because they have a goal. They also need another goal to ensure they win this.man city successfully won their first treble winner as well as their first UCL title, they are really great this season (congrats to pep guardiola who successfully gave the UCL trophy to man city). next season will definitely be even more challenging for man city, even though at the moment they are the best team in the world but changes continue to appear and we will see other teams pose a big threat to man city.

Although, I’m a bit relieved Manchester City has got a goal, the game is not yet over. And with the way Inter Milan have been playing especially during this second half, I fear they may break through City’s defenses and score a goal. Both teams have been playing with so much vigor.
Manchester City would need to add to their tally and score more goals but I doubt Inter Milan would be willing to concede another. A good opportunity by Foden to add to the tally but the chance was foiled by the goalie. He’s been playing well and I would say De Bruyne presence isn’t really missed.
Now the game has entered the 86th minute. And Man City still managed to maintain a 1-0 advantage.
Manchester city struggled throughout the first half just to make their first goal scorer in the match but then the ultimate goal came in the second half.
Not only Manchester City, Inter Milan also did the same thing from the start of the match.Both Manchester City and Inter Milan played quite carefully and it wasn't until the 68th minute that Manchester City's goal was born through Rodri's shot.
See how Pep Guardiola panics on the sidelines even though currently Manchester City are 1-0 up.
If in a matter of 7 minutes the final whistle blows and Inter Milan is unable to reply, then Manchester City deserves the UEFA Champions League trophy with their hard work.
Today is the most important day for both Simone Inzaghi and Pep Guardiola, I guess both of them are ready for the game today and just after a few hours we are going to see this game while people are mostly betting on Manchester City because of the better situation they have but I see there Inter Milan give us much more reward and it worth to take the risk considering the reward we can get from it.
What I regret is Inzaghi's decision to play Lukaku for too long, even though he and Martinez have been quite impressive lately in the matches they have played. I think Lukaku will try hard in this game to equalise. Well we will see this match which is getting tougher and very exciting especially.
1 Goal can be a kill the game in this game even though Manchester City are still trying but at a crucial time I think they will pay more attention to defense.
Their rhythm is slowly carried away by Manchester City and this must be immediately anticipated by Inter because they are separated from whatever they are from the beginning, in my opinion, it is good enough to maximize the open game but the longer the dominance of Manchester City is increasingly felt now.
Btw seeing from the current conditions it seems that KDB is experiencing a little problem and Foden is preparing hopefully this does not have a big impact for City.
First half draw is already an indication of something that most sports bettors who choose Manchester City for straight winning should consider because at the moment Manchester city even though they dominated the first half but we're not able to conceive a possible goal score, Manchester city has a lot to do in this second half if not the 90 minutes may end in surprising ways since inter Milan is putting out their best foot this time and haven't learned from the first half. Btw seeing from the current conditions it seems that KDB is experiencing a little problem and Foden is preparing hopefully this does not have a big impact for City.
But all the same, I wish the clubs the best!
Now the score changed and Inter began to try harder, the header was almost goal but Lukaku's feet were blocking. The remaining time I still feel that Inter will be far more trying to attack.
Inter Milan had a good first half, but they could not be able to hold on to the pressure from the Manchester City squads in the second half.
Okay, so I must admit; Inter Milan has been playing much more better than I had expected or perhaps, Manchester City isn’t playing as good as they normally do? Inter Milan has been playing really well and also trying hard to defend against City forward.
So far, Manchester City hasn’t managed to score a goal just yet. Haaland had a good opportunity in the 27th minute and the first major chance for Manchester City but was stopped by the goalie.
I did think Manchester City would have managed to score a goal but Inter isn’t having any of it. Good game for both sides. 0:0 for now.
I hope De Bruyne doesn’t have to leave the field cause of an injury.
Inter had their tactics well planned by playing a good starting formation of 3-5-2. Playing the formation of a massive attack and massive defense with an aggressive challenge. Both teams are much more careful in this match to avoid mistakes that will result in a goal. So far, Manchester City hasn’t managed to score a goal just yet. Haaland had a good opportunity in the 27th minute and the first major chance for Manchester City but was stopped by the goalie.

The first half had Inter dominated it. The second had begun, let's see whether Manchester City will have more of the ball possession because they always turn the second half of every match to their favor by scoring one or more goals.
Pep Guardiola had to substitute De Bruyne for Foden because of the injury he had in the FA Cup against Manchester United. His presence is highly missed because of those deadly placing he does in matches.
In this final, any club that manages to score a goal wins the match.
At this moment, Manchester City is leading by a goal against Inter. Rodri scored at the 68 minutes of play with a beautiful strike

Half Time: Manchester City 0 vs 0 Inter Milan
Inter Milan survived the starting minutes of the game and were able to disrupt Manchester City from finding their rhythm in the game. Manchester City will play a better football in the second half and Inter Milan need to be ready because the coach of Manchester City is very good tactically and is able to spot errors that the team makes correct them in the dressing room for them to have a better second half. One noticeable way that Inter Milan have played is to quickly switch the ball to the wings which has caused Manchester City problems. With the way Inter Milan players are playing, very aggressively, they will need to keep up this performance if they will win, because if they slow down and relax for the slightest moment, Manchester City can score. Currently, Inter Milan is actually quite successful in getting Man City players to follow Inter Milan's pattern of play. The 3-5-2 formation really makes Inter Milan's defense difficult to penetrate.
Whether you realize it or not, this is not like the usual Manchester City. Losing KDB in the first round really made a difference in this match.
Inter did not play casually as usual and they seemed under pressure to go through the final this time. On the other hand, in this match Inter seemed carefree and their counter-attack was really quite good and can be said to be more dangerous than Manchester City.
There is still plenty of time left now for Manchester City to try more if they are to really give the Etihad a trophy for the first time.
But when Man City led the match with a score of 1-0 thanks to an unexpected goal from Rodri in the 68th minute. But after a few minutes of that goal we saw the intensity of Inter Milan's attack getting better. I'm afraid Man City can't maintain the advantage.

What a shot and it was the first goal of the game to break the deadlock. So for now Manchester City is leading 1-0 and they have to be careful in the remaining time of the second half because normally Inter Milan will increase the tempo of their game to be more aggressive in order to equalize.Man City - Inter

Now the score changed and Inter began to try harder, the header was almost goal but Lukaku's feet were blocking. The remaining time I still feel that Inter will be far more trying to attack.
I expected offensive moments now like they always do, being too defensive shows how too much they care about winning and it might be a weakness rather than a strength when it gets into their heads.
Pep is approaching the game in this manner because he is aware of what Inter Milan is capable of.Even though we all know that Manchester City is in excellent form right now, I have told many people that Inter Milan shouldn't be overlooked. Even though Manchester City might end up winning the game, I know it won't be an easy game for them given Inter Milan's defense, which was able to keep a clean sheet for the majority of their most recent league match.
Since everyone still has a chance to win the season's champions league, at this stage, I can't yet say who should win.
Dzeko is old and will not be able to play 90 minutes and because he is old, Inter Milan will more need him in a second half when Manchester City players get tired a little bit. I bet that Lukaku will debut this final match with Lautaro and very possibly that Dzeko will be sent in the second half of the final. In a second half, Dzeko will have chance to use his experience to exploit defense of his former club, Manchester City.
You have seen that Dzeko played in 1st half, in the early of 2nd half he is just replaced by Lukaku. Sure, Dzeko is already 37 years old and he probably can't play full-time. I am also very sure that Inzaghi actually prepared L. Martinez and Lukaku for this final. Why Lukaku didn't play since 1st half? I think it is purely a tactic, Lukaku can see how Man City plays first and he may see their weaknesses. Lukaku will also have better stamina if he just started to play in 2nd half. In my opinion, this is a good tactic used by Inzaghi.I hope today's final match won't go to penalty short out but Manchester City can beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the second half.
As you expected, Man City already scored 1 goal now. They are leading with 1 goal, Rodri made a nice goal. But the match is still in minute 75', there is still a chance for Inter players to equalize. Let's see how Inter players respond to the goal made by Rodri.
Inter are playing very well so far but what I see at the moment are mistakes.
Manchester City finally score a goal in one quick moment. A goal for Rodrigo, and an important one for Manchester City in their quest to win the champions league for the first time. Manchester City have not been the best team and do not deserve that goal, but they have it and Inter Milan now have to struggle to try to score against Manchester City that their defence has been very good this season in the champions league. This Manchester City goal will force Inter Milan to change their approach in the remaining moment of this game to try to break Manchester City defence and get an equalising goal. There is still a lot to play for and Manchester City do not need to relax because they have a goal. They also need another goal to ensure they win this. 
I expected offensive moments now like they always do, being too defensive shows how too much they care about winning and it might be a weakness rather than a strength when it gets into their heads.
Of course you got that right, Manchester City can't afford to lose the game given how many times they've come so close and are always pushed out at the semi finals. Take it from me, Inter Milan are the once playing what wasn't expected. I thought they would play more badly but, that haven't been the case. It's been an awesome defence line coordination on there part.It's been a good strategy for Inter Milan until now. Manchester have been able to find there goal and the game very much looks like a 1:0 match as, I don't see Inter Milan conceiving any more goals and Manchester City can't afford to make any mistakes. Pep has brought in Walker to tighten his defence line and the clock is running out for Inter Milan.
So far the game goes how Inter wanted. Normally Manchester City has the killer ability to explode and score multiple goals in short time-frame but Inter didn't let that happen to them. The key to success for them was their defense and it worked in first half. I'm sure Pep has some plans to change this though, they don't want to go to extra time and penalties.
Finally the miracle goal came in and at the moment, Manchester city is leading with a goal difference and I am sure Inter Milan will fine it hard to make an equalization attempt since Manchester city already know the importance of the reality of time and how short that time is for them as a club. Manchester city struggled throughout the first half just to make their first goal scorer in the match but then the ultimate goal came in the second half.

Truly a tense moment. But Rodri's shot here is absolutely stunning.
