now Inter must prepare their best defender to stop Haaland's movements.
Inter Milan are not going to prepare for this game with the intention of stopping Haaland from scoring, if you concentrate on only Haaland, City have more than enough players to punish you, Haaland didn't even score against Real Madrid in the SF, but City won 5-1. Haaland has the ability to attract defenders to him, which gives other players the space to penetrate and score. Inter Milan will have to prepare for this game to stop the entire Manchester City team, i am pretty sure they are going to park the bus, they'll surround their box with their players and wait for City to try and break them down, it is not about stopping Haaland, but City.

I think even in this case Manchester City's probability is much bigger than inter but to say that Inter doesn't have the power to stop Manchester City I think this is a wrong assumption.
Even though in this case we can also see how Manchester City's current condition doesn't mean Inter can't do anything, it's just that in this case the situation is more difficult for Inter than City but that doesn't mean City can win easily.
Yeah there's always a chance regardless how small or big the probability is, Inter have beat many teams before, if they're weak they wouldn't able reach into final match. We shouldn't underestimate Inter, if the result is draw, the winner will be definitely 50/50 because anything can happen in penalty stage, luck will play. There are many good players missed in penalty.Even though in this case we can also see how Manchester City's current condition doesn't mean Inter can't do anything, it's just that in this case the situation is more difficult for Inter than City but that doesn't mean City can win easily.
They are aware that Manchester City are favourites but that is no reason to be daunted at the moment.
Well, body shape doesn't really count that much and we have some very good examples for that when we talk about great players. But Jesus isn't anywhere nearly as dangerous as Haaland. This is a numbers question and nothing else. When somebody scores over 40 goals per season for a team and the other striker scores und 20 goals per season, the striker with 40 goals is better in that season and if he outcompetes the other player for a longer period of time, he is the better player in general. I would find it right if Haaland gets some more time to prove himself.
Gabriel Jesus is an important striker, yes I admit, but I don't see any striker in the world right now who will play like Haaland. He is also very young and not everyone can achieve such a good physical condition at this age. His father must be proud of him as a former Manchester City resident. I don't think any active striker in the world can compare with him right now, not only Gabriel Jesus.

Indeed Haaland is one of those players that can be described as an exception. Being a striker like him at that age hasn't even happened before I believe when you just consider the raw numbers. Regarding those numbers he can even compete with Ronaldo and Messi, but now for him it is all about keeping that level for many years in a row without severe injuries stopping him.
I would also like to see him score in the final now. So far he has been a bit passive in the games against Real Madrid, but it was difficult for him because the defense did their job very well against him. He'll have a new chance soon enough now.
I will not compare Haaland with Ronaldo because both are players with different game styles. Haaland is a pure striker whose job is only to put in the best position before getting the ball to score, so Haaland is not the same as Ronaldo.
This season is Haaland's first season in the Premier League with Manchester City, he has proven his quality as a striker but still has to prove that Manchester City can have great success with him. Haaland has won two titles in his first season, but he is still very likely to lead Manchester City to a treble if he wins the Champions League final in the next few days. This is something we are most looking forward to, especially since Manchester City are the favorites to win it.
Haaland is still quite young I think he will have a more stunning heyday in the coming seasons, I will not compare him with some other senior players like messi and ronaldo but I think Haaland will have comparisons that will strengthen him as a player best later. At the moment I think one of the things that sets him apart from other players is his goalscoring genius.This season is Haaland's first season in the Premier League with Manchester City, he has proven his quality as a striker but still has to prove that Manchester City can have great success with him.

This is something we are most looking forward to, especially since Manchester City are the favorites to win it.
One of the things that amazed me about Haaland is that his strength is similar to that of Ibrahimovic, which is too difficult for other players to control his movements, making it easier for Haaland to react freely in front of the opponent's goal.

It is not time for these two players to be compared, even though Haaland has appeared extraordinary this season with Manchester City, Haaland's quality is still far below Ronaldo in terms of skills and individual awards. Haaland is in the process of becoming the world's best player, a move to Manchester City could make him one of the potential Ballon d'Or winners after the Ronaldo and Messi era is over.Making it to the UCL final was an extraordinary achievement for Haaland in his first season with Manchester City, Haaland had to prove his quality by helping Manchester City win the UCL and win the Treble Winner in his first season. Haaland who has a different character from Ronaldo has his own way of proving to all football fans that his quality deserves to be included in the list of the world's great players.

The final is only a few days away now, I'm quite impatient what Haaland will do in the future because it is certain that with his current condition, the markings from the Inter players will obviously be troublesome for him and of course this can be a very good test for his condition to be better again and again.
His marking has to be clear, on the other hand it has to be all out both in attack and defense for Manchester City because seeing from their current condition, they can't be half-assed because precisely that will make them a little more complicated.
I'm quite curious about the current bet for Inter whether or not someone has the courage to put a little betting money there?

without the UCL title, Haaland has proven that he is a talented player that Man City deserves to buy at a high price. in this season in the EPL alone Haaland made 3 goals from 35 games. while in the UCL he has made 12 goals.Haalnd is the best card Man City currently has. especially for the final match later, this will be history for Haaland who was successful with Man City in his first season.
now Inter must prepare their best defender to stop Haaland's movements.
If Inter can't contain or stop Haaland then surely, it looks like Haaland will have a few goals too in the final. But yes, I also realize that Inter is not a weak team and Inter are also not a team that is easy to beat, but because Haaland has good movement and finishing, of course Inter's defense will be a major factor to maximize in the final match later. After all, if Inter maximized their attacks, it's unlikely that they would succeed because Manchester City have very good players in every position and of course it will make it difficult for Inter to win ball possession.

If anyone is looking for who to compare with Haaland, the person can choose Salah. Even at that Haaland needs to be as this wonder by next season before we could start such a comparison between him and Salah.
As long as the world of football is concerned, the only person worthy to be compared with Ronaldo is Messi, apart from that no more.
Those two guys are in the league of their own and are not compared outside their two.

It's a disrespect to compare Haaland with Mo Salah. Haaland is just a goal scorer but Mo Salah is more than a goal scorer and also has the champions league to his name and has been carrying Liverpool for years now. Haaland just come this season and he isn't even the one carrying Manchester city. We all know the engine behind the success of that club and it's Kevin Kevin De Bruyne. Haaland is just lucky to play in a team like Manchester city that everything has be done for him and all he has to do is to tap the ball into the net. Even the almighty Ronaldo didn't just score tap in as Erling Haaland is doing.
Haaland has his peers and they're Victor Osimhen, Mbappe etc. Mo Salah also has his peers which are Harry Kane, Sadio mane, and the rest. Messi and Ronaldo are on a different level of greatness. They dominated football together and won everything possible with Ronaldo conquered the. Champions League and Messi has now won the world cup so it looks like he's now the favorite to be declared the Goat but that doesn't silence the impact Cristiano Ronaldo has on the pitch with his goals.

What has Halaad achieved,please we need to understand the quality and experience every player has before comparing them to one another. The world don't know Halaad yet but the world knows Ronaldo as a legend in football. Can Halaad move to Saudi and give his club the attention that Ronaldo gave to El-Naasri, never. Ronaldo should be compare with Messi,I don't even think that Halaad can be compared with Mbappe,who is the upcoming super legend.
They have their own time. Ronaldo Messi is starting to age and is at the end of his career. Mbaape and Neymar are the second generation after them. But Neymar is older and Mbappe may still be able to succeed Ronaldo and Messi as stars begin to shine alongside Haaland. Football has an age span and they will stop at the time they retire. They will be remembered for their achievements and abilities. At the moment maybe Haaland is in his best because he is still young and has a long period of time to play footbal What has Halaad achieved,please we need to understand the quality and experience every player has before comparing them to one another.

Why comparing Haaland with Salah?As long as the world of football is concerned, the only person worthy to be compared with Ronaldo is Messi, apart from that no more.

Salah has a nickname like an Egyptian Messi and it says all. You can compare Salah with Messi but not with Haaland. If you want to find a player who can compare with Haaland, you can consider Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lewandowski. They are strikers and striker is a position of Haaland in recent years.
If you need a player who is young and talented enough to compare with Haaland, you can consider Mbappe. People are discussing about another long dual race between Haaland and Mbappe like what happened with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the last decade.
However, the difference is that Mbappe used to be a winger that turned into a striker, he was at left wing and played a lot of striker this year, I think when you consider it like that, a parallels can be made to Ronaldo, he used to be a left winger that turned into a striker as well. And they are both amazing physically, fast and powerful so they can run and go pass the defender. Haaland on the other hand is a lot similar to Ibrahimovic, maybe not as skillful but definitely much better positioning and he is "there" for cheap goals, people may dislike the goal, but being able to predict that is a huge talent.
Therefore, Messi is greater than Salah and Haaland which brought the whole argument. And in my personal assessment, Haaland and Mbappe are still very young in the world of football, it's unfair to be comparing them with those that would be difficult for their names to be forgotten in the world of football.

If Haaland stays longer at Manchester City I'm sure he can achieve all categories, this season Haaland has the opportunity to get a new record as the top scorer of the Champions League so far he has collected 12 goals and has no competitors.
I think that there is no need for Haaland to stay at Manchester City to go for new records. He can achieve it whatever top team he goes to actually. When I first saw his transfer from Dortmund to Manchester City I was wondering whether he would be able to adapt quickly. And he made a lightning start there. I think that we can see the same effort from him if he goes to for example Real Madrid.
There is a possibility for Haaland to leave Manchester City after one more season as well. Because it was said that there was a secret option on his contract which gets active by 2024. I assume he will have a release clause then and he seems okay to look for new adventures after playing 2-3 seasons here. But even if he doesn't stay here for a long time he would surely be remembered with big respect by Manchester City.
Haaland, has proven his capacity as a dangerous striker both when he was with Dortmund and now with Manchester City. that means, there is no doubt that wherever Haaland goes, he will still be able to adapt and prove his skills. so we agree, there is no need for Haaland to have a long career with City if he only wants to win many awards. in fact, with Madrid he could win many awards as well. it's just that, for now, it would be nice if Haaland stayed with City. at least, one or two seasons ahead. after that, he can explore other leagues. or perhaps, with Madrid.
IMO, it would be a shame if Haaland left City any time soon. because, Pep's role also greatly contributed to making his game more mature. after all, Halaand was still young. his talent, could have developed much more if he had stayed with City. like I said, Pep can make him an even greater player. after that, he can have a career wherever he wants. after all, there aren't many strikers to rival him at the moment. of all that exists, maybe Haaland can be a rival to Mbappe. like two rivals in the era of Messi and Ronaldo.
Now, his job is how he has to break into Inter's net in the final match later.

I agree, it doesn't make much sense to comparethey are totally different players
Ronaldo is a goal-scoring player, he also trains himself with free-kicks
So just two different philosophies and roles

Haaland is slowly approaching Ronaldo's record one of the top scorers in the premier league even in its first season including several hattrick
If Haaland stays longer at Manchester City I'm sure he can achieve all categories, this season Haaland has the opportunity to get a new record as the top scorer of the Champions League so far he has collected 12 goals and has no competitors.
I laugh when someone compare the current best player statistic with Messi or Ronaldo.If Haaland stays longer at Manchester City I'm sure he can achieve all categories, this season Haaland has the opportunity to get a new record as the top scorer of the Champions League so far he has collected 12 goals and has no competitors.
Ronaldo was playing when there so many good players and yet he still able to give a good result. While Haaland is playing when those best players are pension or not prime anymore, there are many regenerations, but they are not in the same level like when Ronaldo's faced.
We know that Messi and Ronaldo almost had something in common at the start of their debut until their dim period of dribbling, speed, shot accuracy, pass accuracy, freekick, heading, finishing, left foot and right foot they all succeeded. So if Haaland was only a striker from the start of his debut then he cannot be compared to Messi and Ronaldo. Even breaking Ronaldo's record for the most goals in the Champions League is still very difficult if Haaland can't be consistent.
Manchester City have the storyline to currently intimidate any other team regardless of any old record they have. Their players are very good and very confident in their abilities. The coach is also very good and knows the exact players that every game needs. They have a better chance and unstoppable in the Champions League final. If the Manchester City players don't get overconfident that winning Inter Milan is already a job done then they can actually do the job. But if overconfidence gets in, they can make mistakes that would hurt them.
If there was to be a mistake, I don't think it'll come from the players, it'll be the fault of Pep Guardiola with his overthinking mentality. He might just decide not to play Kevin De Bruyne or Haaland at the finals. He tried something similar in the last champion league finals which he played against Chelsea and lost and I won't be surprised if he tries it again. Manchester city players are very professional and it's hard to pinpoint a time they made a mistake. I understand they're humans but those players are built different. They understand what's at stake as they have the chances to equal their rival bragging right of winning the treble.
The players will have that in mind while playing the finals against Inter Milan. Inter Milan has nothing to lose as them getting to the finals is already an outstanding season for them because if they were told at the start of the champions league season that they'll be playing the finals against the best team in the world at the moment, they won't have believed but it's happening. I can't just wait for the finals to be played, I know both clubs won't disappoint as they will give us a proper show.
I agree, although many consider Pep Guardiola to be the best coach in the world, the fact that he won the last Champions League a long time ago with Messi and with the best generation of Barcelona in history should also be taken into account.
It is a much greater success to win the Champions League with a weaker team, which is not a favorite.
After Barcelona, Pep was unable to win the Champions League again in the last 12 years, neither with Bayern nor with Manchester City.
He received unlimited money from the owner of Manchester City to bring the best players in the world to the club, but for 7 years he has not managed to win the Champions League with the best team and club in the world. It's a big failure for me.
In some key Champions League matches, against Chelsea or Tottenham for example, he simply played too cautiously and missed the chance to win.
In the match against Inter in the final, we will see if Pep has learned something from his previous mistakes.
