That's true, but there are still many who believe Inter might be able to put up a tough fight for Manchester City. Meanwhile, the reality is that Manchester City really have a very big chance to win and also, if the theory is like that then I'm sure Inter won't be able to score a goal. Maybe, Manchester City's defense is not completely strong, but if Manchester City can excel in ball possession then of course, Inter will find it difficult to develop their playing style in the match later.

No doubt they will put up a hard fight. Inter Milan is exactly the team that Manchester City doesn't like to play against. Inter has offensive potential while they can narrow down any space so much that Manchester City can't play their beloved ball possession game into Inter's box. I don't think that this is going to be a destruction for Inter. They will put every single bit into perfect defense and I am totally convinced that they are able to go on par with Manchester City for a long time during the game. It is not all about scoring for Inter early in the match. If they can keep their own goal clean and have a halftime break with 0-0, the game is going to be very interesting and pressure will be increasing for Manchester City.

It's a unique story about Inter, but how do you analyze the match when both teams' form and their run to the final were one of the key points? Manchester City tends to be better in terms of performance although so far Inter has held a good history in the Champions League. Manchester City's ambitions should be unstoppable regarding the title this season if I look at their last 4 matches in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. Inter can win the title, of course it's because of chance but I just believe it's a miracle.

In the end Manchester City couldn't ignore Inter and their ability in the final. Every opportunity has to be considered as possible and Inter can take advantage of that too. Manchester City must be able to control the game and put more Inter players under pressure so that a dangerous chance creates itself.

Neither team is normal in UCL I think both teams are very strong. Currently the strongest team in this season is Manchester City but how well they will perform in today's match will be seen on the field of play. However, Inter Milan have won the Champions League three times previously in the UCL, while Manchester City have never won. So even though Manchester City is a strong team this season, they need to attack enough and Man City will be wrong if they consider Inter Milan as a normal team. As this match is the most important for Manchester City to win the Champions League, they need to play accordingly. And if Manchester City can win this match with a good attack, then they will win the Champions League for the first time in their history. Manchester City must have a tough fight with Inter Milan to win the Champions League.

I think it's laughable how people think its just money that made them this great, there are tons of teams with a lot of money and none of them were as dominant as City recently, the only other team I can think of that is as good as City would be Real Madrid and to think they are poor would be naive, they are a super rich team as well, and PSG is as well, Bayern too, Newcastle nowadays, Chelsea has been for a long time, and there are many other examples. Hell even Arabian nation teams are showing how rich they are recently as well.

So, it is easy to say that its not going to be that easy to beat City and its not just about money, sure they do have money but they are also managed amazingly well and that is why they are this great.

I think Dzeko will be in the starting eleven and it will be the right choice for Inzaghi to get an injection of Dzeko's energy and experience in the final match. Lukaku is the hardworking type and I think he is one of those players who will be difficult to keep out when he is in possession of the ball. I think Lukaku will be able to provide something positive for the Inter Milan front line Most likely he will be played in the second half.

Dzeko is no longer young but he is the most influential player in the Inter Milan squad because his presence on the field can make a big difference in the Inter Milan game. Apart from that we will witness this final in the next 1 hour.

Soon all eyes of football lovers will be on the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, where there will be a party that will bring together Man City and Inter to fight for the most prestigious title in European competition. Man City and Inter headed for the final through a long process, both of them managed to qualify for the final after defeating the toughest opponents in the semifinals. The two coaches can breathe easy because they can field their best squad in this important match. Haaland will certainly be the most crucial figure in the Man City squad, while Martinez is Simone Inzaghi mainstay in the Inter squad.

Many people predict that Man City will win the final this time because Man City has appeared mighty this season, Manchester City will start the final with high motivation after previously winning two trophies, the EPL and FA Cup. Even though Man City is the superior team in this match, Inter also still have a chance to become champions. In terms of club history, Inter has accomplished more in the Champions League competition than Man City, Inter has lifted the UCL trophy three times while Man City has never even won the UCL trophy.

Of the three trophies won, Inter won the trophy by destroying the treble winners ambitions of three opponents in the Champions League final.

This fact must be watched out for by Man City, if they are not careful against Inter, Man City could become Inter's fourth victim as a team that failed to win the treble winners.

I was quite surprised after seeing the stats of the last few matches of the two teams, choosing for both teams to score seems to be a wise choice, but unfortunately I have placed my bet on +1 Inter Milan (handicap bet). There's no more money allocated for betting, so I just hope that Inter Milan do the best they can so I'll win my bet. BTW, don't you think that Inter Milan will win?

Without much contemplation, I'm thinking of placing a bet on Manchester City to win. I don't think Inter Milan can manage it, either holding the game to an extra time or even a penalty shootout.
It's going to be a game where Manchester City would be on massive attack, Pep would concentrate his efforts forward and his players in the person's of E. Haaland, Kevin De Brunye, Bernado Silva, R. Mahrez although, I don't see him in the starting line up, Gundogan and the rest of them would be very eager to make impact and have proven themselves some good goal scorers.
How Inter Milan would be able to hold all these forces back is what I can't tell or see it happening.

I do not think we have seen many one-sided champions league finals like this one seems to be. Manchester City will have to put their achievements aside and take this game very seriously. Haaland doesn’t have any issue scoring goals, but he will have a issue with the Inter Milan defense. Inter Milan have kept eight clean sheets in four champions league games, the team is defensive minded. Even with their strong defense, I think City has the quality to break the defense.

Comparing both teams in their recent performances, Manchester City would be considered the better of the two. And personally, I think they’ve got what it takes to win the game and I’m rooting for them to win. I see Peps squad  as a disciplined bunch that barely makes serious mistakes that might cost them a game.
While Man City’s statistics is looking impressive, it would be interesting to see how they would play against Inter Milan. The finals of the UEFA champions league would begin soon. I believe Manchester City is prepared to claim the title.

Manchester City is the favorite to win but i have seen huge bets placed on Inter Milan to win in some of the gaming sites. I am thinking about placing a bet on both teams to score as both teams have a scoring record and Manchester City has conceded goals in their past 5 or 6 away matches, so i think it is a safe bet to make rather than looking for money line.

I can see that you also voted for Gurdiola because you have seen what Inter supporters  are not seeing but even on the assumpion that if he concede the first goal, it will caused confufion is for him may not be the way you think, Manchester City are experience, that is there number one strong even if when they don't have the trophy, they are experience in any kind of match situation, they will equalized as if nothing happen. The two teams will score atleast a goal but I anticipate to see two goals from this match because they are prepared, Inter maybe prepared but their effort will only be nothing when Manchester City form their attack formation.

Manchester City are the absolute favourites, and that was heard even when they were in the last round, and now they are just one step away from proving they are worthy favorites in the Champions League this season. I can't wait to see how the match goes, especially I want to see how far Inter Milan will go against Manchester City.
There will be tension, especially for the two coaches. One thing I hope, I hope this match will be very interesting, and Inter Milan will answer the doubts pinned on them, I mean if they have to lose, then they won't lose easily.

Manchester City is indeed the favorite for the UCL final this time, even on the handicap bet, to get at least x2, the bettor for Manchester City must be willing to choose -1 for Manchester City. Of course, all of this isn't unreasonable, this can all happen because Manchester City did perform beyond expectations, they won the PL, then won the FA Cup. People think that Manchester City will not waste the chance to get the treble winner, that's why Manchester City is the favourite.

Manchester City has good progress until lead to final stage because success eliminated two favorite teams between Bayern Munich on quarter final and Real Madrid in semifinal stage, Inter Milan seems has easy way how success reached to final stage looking on their opponent from 16th round until semifinal. But its can't be fair comparison about which one team eliminated between Manchester City and Inter Milan until success reaching to final stage because Inter Milan has the same motivate for winning Champion League tittle after waiting more than ten years. Left one hour for match begin and I predict with Inter Milan has chance for winning match against Manchester City.

The Manchester City i know very well will never give Inter Milan the chance to win today's finals ,Manchester City are very tough this season and it will not be easy for Inter Milan to lead Manchester City with more goals.  it will  definitely be a victory for Manchester City in the Champions League final tonight.

As you said, the only ideal choice for Inzaghi is to play defense. with the scenario, there are 5 players in Inter's defensive area. 3 players low block, two front attackers prepare to counterattack. even then, the Inter players must be adept at intercepting. if the scenario worked out, it meant they had room to counterattack. the question is, can the Inter players do it, we will find out soon.  

Conversely, if the scenario is like this, City will automatically have more control over ball possession by controlling the course of the game. the danger is, when the City players start to dominate the midfield, some players will look for space to make rapid progress and it is in this situation that the Inter players will be tested for their discipline. because, when City has done circulation, rotation, with 4 players, namely Grealish, Gondohan, De Brunye and Bernaldo Silva, plus Haaland, they will try to open up space for each other to make fast progress. Inter's situation is in jeopardy. in fact, sometimes City's two pivots can stab forward into the Inter penalty area. if a goal is scored quickly, Inter will automatically play openly to equalize. and, then we can imagine what will happen.

But again I have to say, what I said was predictive which has always been City's style of play with its 3-2-4-1. in fact, we will not know what will happen in the field later. as a friend said in a gambling discussion, @Daniel91, he said, the longer the game is in a draw, the greater their chances of winning. and what he said, could have happened. but still, I have an estimate that City will score a lot of goals against Inter in this final match.

No Champions League match is to be taken lightly. And through hard work, Inter Milan and Manchester City qualified for the final. It was not an easy task at all. And so both teams will try their best to win the title. Inter Milan is a bit less strong but this team is not weak at all. They have a strong attack. And so the team players who play well on the field will win. Also, luck is very important. If luck is not with Guardiola, he will not be able to win this year's Champions League title.

The possibility of Manchester City losing remains, but I think Manchester City will try to avoid that as best they can. Manchester City are the favorites in the final, so it's only natural that most people think that they will beat Inter who also want the title. Manchester City must increase their awareness of several Inter players who are in fact the most influential players, so Pep Guardiola must wisely adjust his strategy especially when Inter build up attacks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Manchester City won the title this season, it's something a lot of people have predicted. It's just that I expect the match to really be the most thrilling match, until the final whistle is blown.
