Simone Inzaghi had to think hard to come up with the most effective strategy to dampen every attack built by Manchester City's front line players. And it is true that if Inter Milan also plays with the same attack strategy as Man City, then this also has a very big risk. and can overwhelm Inter when counterattacked by Man City players. but Inter's defensive strategy was just as bad. because it also gives more opportunities for Man City to try to attack from various angles.

I want it to be a surprise too, I even support Inter Milan, but it is necessary to be realistic.
Everyone knows the difference in quality between the two teams.
If I find a ticket, I want to watch the match in the stadium. Because I live in Istanbul.

In football, I don't think anyone can win a major silverware without some bits of luck. In some cases there are teams who weren't convincing enough to make to a final but because of "Luck" as well
However Inter Milan's qualification to the final wasn't about "luck" because they played exceptionally well against their opponents en route to the final. Manchester City played a more difficult opponents than Inter but Inter Milan deservedly reached the final because of how well they played

Seeing Inter Milan play in the last few matches in Serie A strengthens me that they will be able to provide tough resistance in the final match later. Now, in this option, the two Inter Milan players on the front lines found a sizeable change in their performance, none other than the duel between Lukaku and Martinez. These two players are to be reckoned with as their prowess in the finish leaves people in awe of what they have done.

This season's champions league final is indeed very interesting because inter milan is not featured will be able to step into the champions league final but they are able to prove their strength and hope they can achieve their dream of winning the ucl trophy.

It's up to Inzaghi now because all strategies will inevitably lead to risks and that's for sure.
But on the other hand I was actually hoping for an open game for Inter even though it looks like it will be a bit difficult and likely to be impossible because they realize that it is tantamount to letting City win easily on counter-attacks created given the speed of the attacks and the wing players with the type of runners Manchester City is very good.

Martinez was very efficient recently and did a great job for quite some time now. He is the striker you want to be in a great condition and who can score this one goal that you need to make it very hard for Manchester City.

On the level that both of these teams are it is possible that anyone scores an early goal. Everyone has their opinion as to who is more likely to score early and I have my opinion, too, but I wouldn't rule out that it could also be Inter. However, Inter won't be pressing as hard for an early goal as Manchester City.

In the beginning I was wishing for a different final, but the closer it comes the more it gets me excited and I believe it will be fascinating.

I do not think that "luck" would bring a team to finals. I understand that it could be luck to get you a win or two, but to finals is not something you could do with luck, it has to be just talent or nothing else. Inter managed to face with teams that were easier than what City had to face against, that is a true reality and I do agree with that but in the end the teams Inter faced against were teams that were that high on UCL as well so they shouldn't be considered nobodies neither, they were totally good teams.

In the end, we are going to see a good game, I don't care how many people think that it will be easy game, you never know until the final whistle and we are going to see which team will be playing better. It's not impossible for Inter to win, difficult for sure, but not impossible.

It definitely looks like it is going to be a Champions League trophy for Manchester City. Manchester City has certainly done well to reach where they are right now. Beating a team like Real Madrid is never an easy task especially in the Champions League competition. Manchester City has done that. That's why I believe they are going to win. They are very determined this time and I can say that the Champions League trophy was their main target. And it's also okay to say that they are most probably going to achieve that.

Lukaku and Martinez showed their best form in the last few matches, I'm sure Inzaghi will prefer to use these duo-strikers in the final UCL. Martinez could score quite consistently during this season, while Lukaku finds his good form again recently. Inzaghi has 2 productive strikers and they are in good form toward the final round. This is a good sign for Inter, they probably will play more confidently against Man City.

I even think that Inter can make a faster goal if Man City is ready for a surprise made by Inter. If Man City is too focused on attacking since the early match, they probably lose focus on their defense. It will be a chance for Inter strikers to steal goals, a counter-attack strategy will be a very good option to deal with Man City offensive style.

In fact, I think fans of the Laliga competition also want Man City to be champions. Because at least if Man City wins the UCL then Real Madrid's defeat is what they deserve. because the team that managed to beat Real Madrid was a strong team that managed to become Champions in the UCL. Maybe only fans of the Serie A competition hope that Inter Milan will win the UCL title this season.

But I remember that Man City lost in the Final to Chelsea who was not the favourite at that time. Of course I don't see this happening again. because the current quality of man city is much better than previous seasons.

It doesn't matter how the match scenario plays out later, what is clear is that Manchester City are only very close to their first Champions League title this season. It makes no sense to give Inter too many chances to win after Manchester City have beaten the former champions this season. Real Madrid didn't budge when Manchester City messed up its system and game plan, so how can I doubt Manchester City against Inter?

It's true that apart from the Inter fans who expected Manchester City to lose the final, the rest were fans of other teams that Manchester City had previously beaten. I think the average Premier League club expects Manchester City to be able to win the Champions League title this season, so I think they deserve to give their best.

Well, Manchester City's attack pattern which relies on short and fast passes is what is always difficult for any team to deal with Manchester City. And this fast game tempo is also known to be able to tear the opponent's defense. We still remember Haaland who could always find a pass like a bullet, he slid quickly and scored. Things like this are mostly done by Manchester city players. bait with a fast ball rate is very difficult to stop. But what I noticed from Inter Milan's pattern of play is that they always prefer to lower the tempo of the opponent's attack. So that it will make the opponent a little frustrated and become impatient in the game. A slightly annoying strategy for opponents but always effective if Inter Milan is in defensive mode. but if it turns out that Inter Milan is making the same attack strategy as Manchester City then of course the game will be more exciting. because the two teams will take turns making attacks. And the first goal can sometimes make the team that scores the first goal even more motivated on the pitch. but because this is a final there will be different conditions from the usual match.

I'm pretty sure Pep Guardiola won't change his system and stick with the 3-2-4-1 pattern. this system has a strong formation, both when attacking and when defending. when City attacks, there will be 5 players in the opposing team's defense area. and when City were in defensive mode, they would use a 4-4-2 system, John Stones would drop down at centre-back. Haaland's position is slightly higher than De Bruyne. well, City's strength is in midfield. for now, the system that Pep Guardiola has adopted is quite unique and difficult to penetrate. we can see it, during the City vs Madrid game. or, when City played Leipzig.

Now we speak from the side of Inter. the question is, who will Inzaghi play as a center forward. Dzeko, or Lukaku. because, these two attackers have different characters. for the system, I'm not sure. but most likely, Inzaghi will still apply the 3-5-2 system. the problem is, can Inter's players break Manchester City's formation. moreover, City has players who have quite good individual skills. so, it would be very natural for bookies to favor City more.
IMO, I'm pretty sure City will lock down Inter's defense in the match. and, this fight will not go to extra time. I mean, City will win this game. although in truth, in football anything can happen. it's just that if we refer to statistics and performance, City deserves to win this competition.

Every single player in the Manchester City squad is creative, from the shot stopper, I admire Ederson a whole lot, with how good he makes good use of them feets while passing and shooting. To, the recently used fullbacks, Aknaji and Kyle Walker, do I need echo how good and creative they're?!

John Stone lately has burst my bubbles, do y'all see how he leaves defense to join Rodri in midfied doing dirty works, that alone makes Rodri advance alot without fear and helps add pressure to those attacking the opponents. Infact, I've watched more of Manchester City games because you've got a lot to learn when you watch more and not criticize.

Mahrez, Bernado Silva, KDB, Grealish, Foden, Alvarez amx lastly Erling Fvcknn Haaland  . Every player in that side is creative, I don't want to make predictions, I just want to watch how Inter Milan response to such a destructive Pep Guardiola's Squad.

This question is very difficult to answer, because no one can give a definite view on a match that has not yet been played. I will try to answer it with logic, Manchester City will try to increase their attack power to catch up with Inter Milan. Guardiola will look for loopholes to penetrate Inter defense in search of an equalizer or a winning goal.

Inter once frustrated Barcelona players due to the difficulty in breaking into their goal and in the end Barcelona was eliminated from the UCL, but at that time Inter was coached by Mourinho who was known to use the bus parking tactic very often.
I don't think it's difficult for Manchester City to break into Inter's goal, the striker that Manchester City has is very good, especially since Haaland has just been named the top scorer in the EPL. Manchester City playing style which relies on short passes from foot to foot will make Inter have to be careful with an open play strategy, because the consequences will be very fatal.

Intermilan and manchester city have the same chance. Let's see whether that goal machine will running out fuel or not. 

How can you say like that if city never faced inter milan. It's better if you are seeing stats that published by UEFA. City has consistentcy in attacking line while intermilan in the defensive lines.
The weakness of strategy that used by guardiola when it was facing a fully defensive team.


The same thing like when many people said a few years ago against chelsea but they were crying in porto.

Even though we can predict what will happen in football but not sure of it, so we should wait and see how both teams play in the final stages. However, both Inter Milan and Manchester City have fully prepared for these game, and everyone believes Manchester City will win because they are in good form and have been the favorite team since the beginning of the season.

I also want people to understand that Inter Milan has improved these, while their defense is very strong, and I believe they will do everything in their power to bring Manchester City down. I also think that on the final day, their defense will be even stronger, making it very difficult for Manchester to overcome it. I believe that De Bruyne and Bernardo are the most talented players at Manchester City, but I also know that they have talented players who will play for them.
 
 

Erling Haaland, Bernando, Kevin De Bruyne could be the most feared names for Inter Milan. Especially the way Kevin De Bruyne makes crossings and shots from outside the D box against the opposition is a matter of concern for any team.  Inter Milan will have to plan differently with Kevin De Bruyne.  If Kevin De Bruyne cannot be stopped, the win will be very difficult for Inter Milan. 

Erling Haaland's excellent heading as well as his pace can make the difference in a match at any time. Inter Milan will have to make several plans to create a chance to win against Manchester City. Without a high level of planning, the chances of winning against this team are very difficult.

That reminds me with chelsea when it was facing manchester city. Chelsea could be called as non favorite club at that time. The odds were going to the manchester city as favorite club but it doesn't even matter how hard the match as long as intermilan can win even with single goal is more than enough. Remember the main target from anyclub is trophy. it's not about how many goals being made but it's about how to win the trophy.

That has become the main aim from any team. City has haaland but inter is also having lukaku. These guys have almost same physic.
The defenders from both of clubs will become the main concern. Italian club can't be underrated. It's hard to believe but it seems like that inter may possible to add fourth trophies of UCL this season.

The final can't be predicted because while we're all saying inter Milan will be vigilant and all that, the final might come and everything just goes Manchester city way. Obviously I don't want that to happen since I want to enjoy the final to the fullest as it'll be one of the last time to watch a competitive game until August. The season restarts. I believe Pep Guardiola is planning a massacre but Inter Milan has to e prepared so even though they lose, they can. Don't with dignity. Also I have the referees and linesman with VAR won't spoil the finals with their wrong officiating.

I want everything to be in order so there won't be any excuse and anybody that wins does so in merits. There has always been controversy whenever finals of this kind is been played. Inter Milan are the underdogs so there'll be getting the more favorable decision as everyone will want them to win to have a narrative to push of football not needing billion to be spend to win titles. People are against Manchester city just because of their money as they're been blamed for spoiling football but we forget other clubs are also spending too.
