As far as I know, Inter Milan usually waits on the defensive line and tries to use the counter-attacks and possible mistakes of the other team while Manchester City got a very strong attacker in hand and if Inter Milan tries to hold the ball in the defensive line Mancshter City can easily score goals. They also got an experienced coach like Guardiola to guide them however I think Inzaghi will change tactics for the final match against Manchester City.

That's what im thinking about that. Both have equal chances to dominating the match right now. In my opinion if these days intermiland and city are preparing everything for upcoming match. The next match gonna happen at the middle of next month. That's why it's very hard to predict which club that will able to win.

Most of people may pick manchester city but intermilan has not been losing its chance to win the trophy as well. I would like to call that as equal at this moment. It's caused by intermilan is also very strong right now.


Anything can happen in football. I don't even wanna try to pick which team that will be dominating the match. The good vision is keep calm until the match will be starting.

I have no problem with people argued that city will be dominating the match and scoring the goals easily against intermilan but they were underestimating intermilan.

Inter Milan's attack line is actually quite strong. It's just that Inter Milan sometimes doesn't have good consistency in their attack line. But for Inter Milan's defense area I have absolutely no doubts about the robustness of their defense. They are one of the teams with the strongest defense of the Italian league. But in the match against Manchester City, of course we don't know whether Inter Milan's solid defense will hold on firmly or not in front of Manchester City's attackers who are always hungry for goals later.

And because this is a final then of course both teams will try to be the first to score. I initially predicted that maybe Inter Milan would make a defensive strategy and try to make the match go to the penalty shootout. But I changed my mind. Because I think this strategy will actually be far more dangerous for Inter Milan, who will continue to be pounded by Manchester City's attack line. Even I think Inter Milan will find it difficult to counterattack. because Manchester City also has an equally strong midfield and defense line.

I think the match will be the most aggressive match for these two. Unfortunately there are not many official meetings in the competition that have brought Inter Milan to Manchester City until now. So that the meeting of these two teams in the Champions League final can be said to be their first official meeting in the competition. Maybe these two teams have also met in several competitions. but that's been quite a while. like in the super cup in 2011. and at that time Manchester City got the win.
So it's only natural that we have difficulty predicting how the match between these two teams will take place.

The question should be Manchester vs inter Milan is there a possible balance groond for the two clubs to contend for the game, the answer is NO, because while Manchester City is already a leading champion with top players in their team, inter Milan on the other hand still struggle to defend their few points their managed to generate in this season and they know quite alright the risk that is facing them being booked to play against Manchester City.

It's not clear what striker that will be used by intermilan as well. Inter can have two options lautaro - dzeko / lautaro - martinez. This is the main problem that has been facing by us to be so difficult predicting the line up for intermilan.
Predicting city's line up is quite easy compared with intermilan at this moment.

Intermilan was very often starting with dumfries and i guess if he will become the main choice by simone inzaghi in upcoming match. In my opinion if that's the best line up owned by intermilan.
I guess if it must be also focusing into the defenders. It's caused by city is also having best attackers as well.

intermilan may need to change its strategy.

Nothing can be predicted exactly how the final match will go because these two teams still have the same chance.  I think both inter milan and manchester city they have a pretty good moment this season and they will give their best in the final match later.

It is fitting for Manchester City to dominate the final match because those who say this are Manchester City fans but if they are not fans of these two teams I think they will be in a difficult situation to predict who will win the UCL trophy this season. Inter milan is not weak they can provide interesting resistance later.

These attackers all are dangerous against any team Inter can face indeed. I'm curious about one thing which is whether Inzaghi is thinking of starting with Lukaku this time. Because there has been a significant level of improvement in his effort in the recent times. He started to score quite often when he had the chance just like in the old times.

But Inzaghi still didn't prefer him for a couple of matches. We saw Martinez - Dzeko duo in both legs of the Champions League semi finals. Lukaku can still enter in the second half of course. But I still feel like he can be really useful thanks to his physique as well. It is really not easy to bring him down.

Maybe Inzaghi likes to keep him like a game changer in the subs to have him on the field on the right time of a match. If Inter resist Manchester City for a long time then Lukaku's being subbed in would make a good impact.

The game has not even started and how do you know that to happen? 

You looks so funny in predicting how game will be running. There's none will have ever able predicting it. You are predicting like manchester city gonna win easily against intermilan but what will be happening if the same story against chelsea will be happening again?

Anyone who put their bet into the manchester city will be startled.  How the match will be going on is still unknown until we will able to see that use our eyes directly which team that will be dominating the match.

It is not so much about Inter Milan to be weaker in their offensive game, but Manchester City then has the option to fast counter attacks once Inter opens their defensive lines. That is what Manchester City also likes to do as they can have more variance in their game than only to possess the ball 75% or 80%. Taking the lead gives them all the options they wish for and would destroy Inter's strategy immediately.

Correct. Indeed, that is the main problem that must be faced by Inter Milan, namely Man City, which actually has advantages on all fronts. whether it's attack, midfield and backline. Of course this is what will make it difficult for Inter Milan to be able to implement an offensive strategy. However, if Inter Milan also implements a Defensive strategy, this will be tantamount to allowing Man City's attackers to be more free to make more attempted attacks. And I doubt that Inter Milan can continue to survive the attacks built by Man City players who always endanger their opponents. And Inzaghi must think hard about it. To be honest I was tempted to bet on Inter Milan. but I don't want to take the risk, and will still bet on Man City in the final.

How do you know this? And do assume Inter Milan has weak attackers?  
If Inter Milan has weak attackers, they won't reach the final round, mate. You too underestimate Inter, they have some top attackers. Lautaro Martínez, Lukaku, and Edin Dzeko are good attackers. Inter Milan can use a counter-attack strategy perfectly with those strikers. But for sure, Inter Milan must be ready to strengthen their defense.

By the way, scoring faster never guarantees a win. The final UCL can be determined by a penalty shoot-out. Moreover, if Man City leads by only 1 goal, they must be careful of a surprise made by Inter. So, I think it is difficult to predict the winner by considering which one to score first.

Indeed, there is some speculation that I see that the betting house is more choose that Manchester City will be able to win the UCL trophy this season. This was inseparable after they were able to display quite impressive strength this season.  Manchester city was able to beat Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the previous round which is a big benchmark for us that Manchester City will be able to win the final match later.

Apart from that, we also want to see the Champions League final this season more solid than the two teams, I mean Inter Milan must be able to get rid of all doubts for themselves by being able to show a stronger game in the final match later.

Well, there will definitely be an assumption like that and it is still possible to happen, but on the other hand, at this time actually betting on Inter as well and expecting surprises in it will be very difficult.
For the final odds this time, Manchester City is 1.42 and Inter is 7.60, the comparison from the bookies is also very far in this case.
Lukaku and Martinez are still very good in this regard, even though Lukaku's performance is difficult to predict, but on the other hand, things like this, especially for their attacks, will most likely only be carried out rarely, especially with the dominance of Manchester City's midfield which is very good.

I agree with you if Manchester City scores the first goal and tries to take control of the game Inter Milan will not be able to do anything because, unlike Manchester City, Inter Milan can't have strong attacks and play safe to save the ball that's why I think at the moment when Macnshter City scored the first goal they are going to win the game.

If Manchester City do the treble, they would write their name in history and Pep Guardiola would be immortalized by the City fans. Anyway, prior to this season, City have won the EPL title and the FA Cup title multiple times, so the CL is the ultimate goal, and if they get the treble, it would be the most cherished one for the City players and fans. The CL trophy has eluded City for a long time now, though they have been coming close in recent years, but i think this is finally their year to get it, and should City win it, winning it in subsequent seasons would then be a lot easier for them that when they hadn't won it.

I don't think so friend. Short vacations and short parties are the main points for players to relieve their fatigue and they must quickly return to training and maintain their fitness.  because an important match awaits them in the coming week, to be precise 4 more days manchester city will face manchester united in the FA cup final. So with that in mind, I think this free time will be used as best as possible to maintain the fitness of the players.

Besides that, I think Pep Guardiola has something quite surprising that he will present to Manchester City this season because if he succeeds in bringing Manchester City to a Treble winner this season. And if it comes true it will make pep Guardiola make this season the most perfect season with Manchester city.

Inter are still not an easy team to beat, but considering Manchester City have a good squad and a strong motivational drive regarding the title, I'm sure Inter will have a hard time stopping them. I remember well how Manchester City crushed Ancelotti in the second leg of the Champions League, it looked like a very easy team to beat Manchester City.

I would consider Inter to be different, but when compared to Manchester City, I still have to admit Manchester City is better in every way. It was a great final even if Inter weren't the favorites to win the title.

Formation of Inter will remain the same but there are deviations in formation on depending who is playing at wings. If he starts with Darmian instead of Dumfris then it will be more defensive and vice versa. Inter midlefield is one of their strongest points so it won't be so easy like people say.

I have checked the detailed information about Inter's matches throughout the season. And I saw that Inter used 3-5-2 flat formation like all the time. I don't think this would be a good idea against a team like Manchester City. Because by using this formation you must be ready to deal with fast attacks from the wings as well. Manchester City have just the players for doing that and I wonder how good Inter midfielders can prevent this from happening. Grealish and Silva can penetrate their defense dangerously.

Skriniar is still injured but he is expected to return by tomorrow. He would be fit enough to play in this match in this case. He is a crucial member of Inter defense. If they have him in the match they can rely on their defense more than before. By the way I said these things about the formation they use but on the other hand I don't know if trying out a new formation in a big match like this would be wise.

Manchester City still have a match to play on Saturday which will keep them training for both matches and even if the were no more matches till 11th of June Pep won't want to miss his chance of winning the Champions League title as a manager at Etihad.

From all indication City is the most favourite to lift the trophy because the team is so balanced and even their substitutes are as good as the starting xi. But that doesn't mean Inter should be underrated, I mean the have only lost Bayern in the champions league competition and if the games get tough the settle for draw. City just have to prepare but from all stats City still remains the favourite
