Underestimate- nothing
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 actually did expect Milan's performance to be good since they were playing against manchester city they really need to prepare and train well, from the look of things manchester dominated during the first half, and am sure they will still do the same during the second half but the most important is that am expecting goals in the second half, manchester city is always surprising people during the second half, lets all wait and see the outcome.

yes I think I actually did expect inter milan to play this way and playing against manchester city will need serious preparations and training

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.

I am impressed with both of their performances and since there have been no goals, I'm just too confident that Manchester City will win. Guardiola used an impressive formation by focusing all of his energy on the attacking, and now everyone is looking for a goal and all of his attempts from Manchester City are failing, even though he is beginning to worry. at this point, I wish both clubs the best of luck and even Haaland is not giving the slightest chance to play well.

[HT] Manchester City 0 - 0 Inter Milan

The match in the first half between Manchester City and Inter Milan was very tight, even though Manchester City still dominated in terms of ball possession and attack, Inter Milan was able to withstand all the attacks made by Manchester City.

What are your views on the second half? Will Inter Milan continue to survive until the match goes to a penalty shootout? or could it be that in the second half Manchester City made more than 2 goals? share your opinion...
As I said before, Inter Milan should not be considered weak. Many have said that Manchester City can easily beat Inter Milan in this match. 62 minutes after half time, Manchester City is unable to score any goals. However, today Manchester City will be defeated by the internal or will go to the penalty shot out, nothing can be predicted. But 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. But at the last moment I want to say one thing in today's final match Inter Milan is performing very well which I never imagined.

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.
Inter Milan only looks so good because Manchester City is playing badly, or other they are not playing the football they normally play. For example Gündogan do anything special and Haaland has only one good shot on the goal. I think Grealish go out soon and Julian Alvarez came into the game. Bernardo Silva do it offensive okay, but also not good yet. It looks like City doesnt want to go any risks, Pep Guardiola wont like that. It goes on, lets see how the next 20-30 minutes will be played.
Of course, what Man City is playing now is not expected by me, they didn't want to be aggressive, but for how long? It might be late in the end with the approach they are using, maybe they are saving the striking moments till later, I hope it won't backfire on the face of Pep Guardiola. It's 64 minutes already, this is tougher for Man City than I thought, they are disappointing me at the moment and I hope the careful approach of Pep Guardiola will not cost them this Champions League.

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.

that's right. And now the second half has just entered the 50th minute but the two teams still seem to be having trouble finding gaps. Because both Inter Milan and Man City both tried their best not to let any gaps in their defense.

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.
Inter are playing very well so far but what I see at the moment are mistakes.
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.

The fact is that most people underestimated Inter but from the way I understand the match,Inter is well prepared than expected. They were able to make Manchester city dance to their tune in the first half because the way Manchester is known for attacking,it is not so in this match.

A whole lot of people did underestimate Inter Milan. I must confess I did underestimate them a little cause I sure didn’t expect the game would go on goalless for this long. I had thought Manchester City would have scored a quick early goal in the first half and ride on that advantage to score more.
The game is getting more interesting as both sides are attacking more. Lukaku, being brought in for Inter. Can he be able to break through City defenses to score?
Pep is looking really tensed up as he watches on from the sidelines.

After 45 minutes, the score is still levelled. Maybe things are not going as expected. I never expected the score will still be levelled till now. Inter Milan I must say have impressed me to be able to hold Manchester City for 45 minutes and not allowing them to net a goal. I can already see that Pep Guardiola is already tensed and not happy with the way the match is going.

Manchester City got a lot of time to score now, if they don’t make good use of it now, I’m scared that Inter Milan might score a final minute goal and will tighten their defense till the end of the match. This is football and some opportunities only comes once, both team should take advantage of chances now to take a lead.

I guess that Inzaghi has studied Manchester city football pattern and has come up with his own strategy to over power city. We should also put into consideration that Inter has one of the strongest defense. I expected much more than this from city. I can say that the match might end up in penalty shoot out. I hope for goals in this second half from both teams.

0-0 after 1st half and KDB is broken.

Not so much happened, some occasions for City but nothing more, the game is quite boring as often happens when an Italian team is playing,
Actually, in this first half, Manchester City put more pressure on the Inter Milan defense, but the Inter Milan defense defenders were really very strong, making it difficult for Manchester City to score early and several times Haaland shot the ball at goal but the goalkeeper from Inter Milan was able to save the ball that was has been fired by haaland.
I just hope this match at least ends in a draw.
What I noticed was that Haaland only had one shot at goal, and in the first half he didn't get many chances to shoot, did you watch the game or not?
The two teams between Inter Milan and Manchester city were both quite strong in the first half, each other had a very strong defense, I think if you look at the match I think it was quite even, possession did not have much difference.
It should be noted that the mentality of the City players is quite depressed, it can be seen from the playing style that they display that they are not as usual, is this because of the final? or indeed Manchester City do not have much experience in prestigious championship game final situations.

At the end of the first half, neither team has managed to score yet. In today's match, I thought Manchester City would score two goals in the first half, but it didn't happen. But Erling Haaland attack was brilliant and the way he attacked to score was truly something to behold. It is a tight battle between the two teams with no goals scored in the first half and now it is not clear which team will win. Inter Milan are fighting Manchester City brilliantly. Let's see if there are any goals in the second half, but if the game starts like the first half, the match will go to penalty's. And if the match is a draw at the last minute on penalty then it is hard to say which team will win of course it will depend on luck.

The game is a very tough one for both sides and it's unfortunate for Manchester City that they are losing a key player like K. Debryne to injury in just first 45mins of the game. It's already end of the first half and I think city needs to be careful of the tackling marking tactics of inter Milan not to get frustrated by there agressive marking and loss the game through a counter.

I'm really pleased with Inter Milan's performance in the first half, I kind of liked the way they have been able to keep Manchester City quiet in the game with their physicality and close marking. City had 2 targets on goal with one chance coming from Haaland. Kelvin Debruyne has been substituted in the 36th minute as a result of an injury with Foden coming in.  I'm impressed with the way Martinez and Barella are playing but Dzeko has been hidden in the game. I don't know what to expect in the second half but I will be hoping to see the tactical changes of both Pep Gardiola and Simone Inzaghi.

This injury is big. The main player for Man City is injured and their creator and this will cause problems. I said previously in this thread that it will be hard for City but it looks like it will be much harder for them. Inter holding up pretty well and now it can go either way honestly

Yes it seems that Inter have anticipated with all possibilities and I think Inter Milan hopes through a penalty shootout they will not play openly
Now the situation of Manchester City is no better after De Bruyne was replaced I am sure Pep will prepare another strategy in the second half to avoid penalties
If the winner must be determined through a penalty shootout, who is most likely to win?

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.

It seems that most people are broken by Inter Milan in the first half, Manchester City played unusually, it seems that Inter Milan did play pretty well, so that it puts a balanced pressure on Manchester City, although it does not have a shot towards Manchester City goalkeeper, Inter Milan In an emotional attack and Manchester City's mentality was quite depressed in this first round by Inter Milan.
I also need to admit that Inter Milan did play pretty well and make the position in the first Babap still 0-0 with each other.
In my opinion, Manchester City's attack is only on Halaand's chances but can still be held by the goalkeeper, and there are no more happy opportunities from Manchester City in this first round.

De Bruyne is very unfortunate to be injured and replaced, I think it will be very difficult to get haaland to get a beautiful ball ball, because usually De Bruyne provides that opportunity.

I am sure, among the people who bet for Manchester City in the UEFA final tonight, I think they are quite panicked. lol

Half Time: Manchester City 0 vs 0 Inter Milan

Game rhythm  was quite interesting in the 45 minutes of the first half because both teams played with quite high intensity, even though they had difficulty scoring goals, Manchester City appeared more dominant in the first half. Manchester City dominance with ball possession 61% than Inter Milan has 39% but huge pressing made Manchester City difficult for scoring goals in the first half.

Bad news for Manchester City after Kevin De Bruyne got injured and has replace by Phil Foden on 36th minutes, many mistake made by Manchester City defense actually with Ederson passing error and Nicolo Barella almost scoring goals for Inter Milan, seems second half more attractive with both teams has chance for scoring gaols.
