I don't expect Real Madrid to win against Manchester City. Because Madrid was too dependent on Benzema. Being dependent on one player is too risky. Benzema's performances this season have also been somewhat erratic. But I expected a better performance from Madrid. Madrid did not perform well in either of the two matches. I thought they were quite weak against Manchester City. Madrid's players lost confidence. This made it much easier for City to win the match.

Manchester City are favorite mere looking at the game one would make predictions on Manchester City to win the game. Inter Milan have found themselves not by luck but with so much hard work and I still don't overlook them nor underestimate them on that day of the finals.

I'm sure Manchester City would cause trauma with the kind of gamr they'll play against Inter Milan but taking sides is something I don't want to do so fast. I just want to see and observe. Although, I'm in much love with how Pep Guardiola goes bout with his tactics. It'll be such a great night, Prediction I'll make although it's a hard one is for Erling Haaland not to score that night. Hard ain't it?!

We all still never know which team between the two will win that game. Manchester City and Inter both have to be wary of anything that threatens their chances of winning, but Inter may be a super busy team in defense as Manchester City have been so hard to stop.

Manchester City will play their usual attacking football which will allow them to press Inter hard from the first half. Manchester City's main problem is if Inter are good enough defensively, so I don't think it's a game that is going to be 3-4 goals. I agree that Manchester City deserves to be the favorites because of their form, but still I can't completely underestimate Inter.

We expected Real Madrid to win the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester City but we were wrong as they drew 1-1 with Manchester City at their home ground. A poor performance in the first leg saw them lose badly to Manchester City in the second leg. Because every team will want to take advantage against their home ground opponent but Real Madrid failed there completely.  Maybe Real Madrid's plan was wrong in both matches against Manchester City, which is why they lost in the semi-final in this way.

If for example Inter wins, then I assume Manchester City doesn't have good luck in the Champions League or is like a curse due to its failures in the previous few seasons in the Champions League. But yes, when it comes to reality, then of course Manchester City have a good squad in all positions compared to Inter. So yes, the victory for Manchester City in the Champions League final this time may be certain, although we also do not underestimate Inter but on paper Manchester City certainly has a promising ability to win.

It's a slightly different final, but exciting and full of intrigue, as it would confirm the rise in the level of Italian football or see Manchester City become champions of the Champions League for the first time in history.Manchester City, who reaching the final doesn't surprise me, as I believe they are currently the best team and play the best football. However, Inter's presence is somewhat surprising, considering they haven't been a protagonist in the Champions League for over a decade. It's not only surprising for Inter but also for Serie A, as the last time an Italian team reached the final was in 2017, when it was Juventus versus Real Madrid. Since then, no Italian club has had a good Champions League campaign. What I do know is that Inter is not arriving in the final in bad shape. They won't make it easy for Manchester City.

I have watched some of Inter's matches, and they play really well. They are a compact team that performs at a high level. Moreover, the team seems to have reached its peak for this final. So, if you think Inter is the underdog in the final, let me tell you that it's not the case. Manchester City will have a tough challenge against them. Now, as for Manchester City, they are obviously the favorite to win the Champions League. It seems that after many seasons of trying and spending millions, Guardiola has finally built a team that can win their first Champions League.

I thought that after Real Madrid missed the chance to win La Liga this season, they could make up for this failure by winning the champions league as usual, but in fact they didn't succeed against Manchester City who have an extraordinary squad this season. Indeed, regeneration is the main problem that Real Madrid currently has and if they are still too late to fix it next season then Real Madrid will still miss the chance to win the champions league next season.

But now it's become clear what problems Real Madrid are facing and club president Florentino Perez has already held a meeting with coach Ancelotti to discuss player targets in the summer and it looks like we'll soon find out which talent will come to the Santiago Bernabeu. Benzema, Modric and Kroos are too old and indeed it is not their era anymore if they want to compete with other young players, but I hope the senior players are aware of their declining quality so that they can provide a place for young players to fill their positions.

Manchester City created big impression after their big win at Etihad against Real Madrid and they will bring that confidence to the final match with Inter Milan. After some seasons with difficulty to end in failures and lot of disappointment, now Manchester City will have a final match to win a first Champions League in their history. I don't think Pep will make some unnecessary changes and suicide in this final like what he did in a final match with Chelsea years ago.

Inter Milan surely have very strong mentality but they need more than that. Perfect performance from their players and fair whistle from the referee as well as support from luckiness. If Inter Milan don't have all of those conditions, they will not be able to win Manchester City.

This is what makes Manchester City superior where almost all of its players have equal individual skills. So that it is much more effective in building attacks and makes Pep Guardiola more free to rotate each player. Individual skills that are quite troublesome for the opponent's defense. Now Inter task is very much, to block the movement of the Mancester City players.

The closer to the final time, the more the pressure will be strong enough, the mentality of the Inter players will be tested in the final match. In my opinion, if Inter succeeds in reading the direction of Pep Guardiola game, it will open up opportunities, before finally Pep is able to change strategy during the match.

In my opinion , Real had a rough season from start to end in both LaLiga but also UCL so they missing both objectives is not something that should surprise us. What should surprise us , is that , they somehow won a trophy on Copa Del Rey because that is what saved the season for them. Now , I don't see a bright future in the next coming years for Real when it comes to UCL because , they really don't have a new generation that can achieve what Ronaldo , Modric and Benzema era achieved and even if they get Mbappe , I still don't see them as future champions ...like the next coming 3-4 years.

I agree with you. If Real Madrid could have performed well in the home match, then maybe they would have been able to play better in the second leg. Due to poor performance in the home match, the Madrid team has to be eliminated from the semi-finals. In the Inter Milan vs Manchester City match, I think the outcome of the match will largely depend on which team scores the first goal of the match. If Inter Milan can score the first goal of the match, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to win this match. Because if Inter Milan can score the first goal, they will play completely defensively. And if Inter Milan plays purely defensively, Inter's defense is hard to break down.

Inter Milan's best strategy is to play a defensive formation and then leave very few attackers up front, such as Lautaro Martinez and Lukaku, so that they can easily frustrate Manchester City. If they try to go head to head with more attackers, I believe it will be a problem for them and it will be difficult to withstand City's attack. Inter can also be a problem, so both teams must be cautious and not rush things.



Lukaku is the most suitable for this kinda games, playing a defensive strategy and then letting lukaku and lautaro face defenders can be deadly. Thats the kinda game lukaku can be more active and more useful, his strength and speed will be so useful when inter counter attacks manchester city.

I saw that if skriniar has been coming back again in the training session but seeing how the composition of defenders against acmilan was able making the club to get cleansheet makes me think that if skriniar will not be used by simeone against manchester city.
I remember that if intermilan used three back scheme against acmilan and it's bastoni, acerbi and darmian who already trusted in the match against acmilan.
Simeone was feeling dilemma whether he needs to use skriniar against manchester city or not. The main aim to guard haaland and kill his movement. that's the main target by simeone.
It's very hard to think that if simeone will not be using skriniar against manchester city. i think that if the result against acmilan doesn't enough to be used as measurement to use the same schema against city caused by city was not acmilan.

Yes but I also think that the result from the first leg has an impact in so far as it also puts pressure on Real Madrid and their choice of strategies. I still believe that Manchester City would have won this one if they were 1 goal down from the first leg, but it would have changed the things a bit. This is why against Inter Milan a lot will depend on whether Manchester City scores an early goal or one in the first half. That would give Inter such a hard time to come back because you really don't want to be the team that is behind and has to score a goal against Manchester City.

So true. And what you also have to watch out for from Man City is that Man City players also have a habit of making attacks quickly through short passes with a very good level of accuracy. And the running speed of the Man City players also has incredible running speed and individual mastery. so it will indeed be very difficult for any team to beat Man City with their current performance. But if it turns out that Inter Milan managed to beat Man City then I think it is quite a surprise. but I have a feeling that is not going to happen.

I prefer to see lukaku rather than dzeko. it's caused by lukaku has capability to help its friend as well. I just saw that from previous matches in serie a about how lukaku was always helping its friend to attack. It's caused by lukaku is much more dicipline compared with dzeko.

Lukaku is underrated right now and so many people blamed him a few months ago when his performance was so bad. It's caused by intermilan will be also facing kyle walker and i prefer to pick lukaku as starting line up together with lautaro martinez rather than dzeko.
Dzeko has also ever become a part of manchester city in the past.


Intermilan can play defensively against manchester city. It will make its opponent frustrated as long as intermilan will be doing a good defensive against manchester city.
Manchester city will be facing manchester united first. I hope that MU will able to beat city in the final of FA cup. It will help milan to give pressure to the city.

From the performance of these two club it has shown that city is more stronger and capable of winning the match than Inter. City has a better chance of making history this season,if they can win the match. Inter shouldn't be underestimated in this match because the club has the experience in the league but that isn't something that we should use to judge the winner. I know that Inter has a good defense and if they are play a draw game till the end of 120mins,then I guess it might be an advantage for Inter to win the league again because penalty shoot out is a game of luck. The lucky side on the day will win the game.

Very true.  Let's just look at Manchester City and Inter Milan this season from performance of their games,  it Iis not difficult to know among the two which is stronger. Manchester City might not have much experience in Champions league and this won't be a limitation for them to win  champions league. The record of Manchester City performance should be checked in Premier league and performance for this season,  with this performance it is very sure that Manchester City will win the Champions league final. I don't know how Inter Milan will manage to defeat Manchester City.

The discussion now is always about whether or not it is possible, but indeed things like that are still quite often debated because indeed we have our own conditions of belief and speculation in this matter. but indeed during this one week the discussion has only revolved here about whether belief can or not when in fact we just have to wait for it because no matter how many arguments it takes it remains the same.
