This game was very good, the truth is that I was very surprised by the liberties that Real Madrid gave City to reach their defensive line and give a series of permissions that I didn't think they were going to do, however, I think both teams played in a very similar way, that's why they had so many tackles, Pep and Guardiola are actually very good technical directors and have very good strategies for their teams, I was very surprised by Madrid's liberties, I hoped that in the second leg they wouldn't commit those Mistakes, but apparently things got out of hand for Madrid, now City is just waiting to be crowned, it would be something unique and a great victory for Pep.

and, surprise for City?

I think this is always the case when we are talking about a UCL finals, I mean sometimes some teams are better than the others and we have to just accept that but when it is the finals we just have to see it as something we could potentially end up with a surprise.

No team on the finals would be underdog in my eye, I am not going to bet on Inter to win, which shows that even though I do not think that Inter has no chance, I still think that City has a higher chance, but too many people act as if the cup is already theirs, I do not have that much confidence in my bet, I do think City will win, but I do not see it 100%, not even 90, I see that as %60 chance to win for them, which is still the higher chance, but not guaranteed of anything.

Calling a manager like Guardiola lucky is very courageous of you.    You have got a point that he hasn't ever managed even an average team in his manager career until now. There aren't even so many teams he has managed - Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Barcelona. But this still doesn't mean that he wouldn't do good with a less powerful team either of course.

Guardiola has always been successful with the teams he has managed so far. It is the same for Manchester City now also despite not having a Champions League title with them yet - however they are about to. I believe that he is a great tactician. Maybe he doesn't make substantial changes in his strategies but they are already working out well against nearly every team they face.

He wants to turn every team he goes to into a new Barcelona. He has made so many changes for Manchester City and built the squad in harmony with it. I wonder how much successful he would be with an average team by trying to do the same thing.

You are right, no matter how strong and tough they are at the moment, they have to be very careful with their opponents, because this seems like a trivial thing, but believe me, when they don't do that and tend to underestimate them, they can be punished with a painful defeat. From the start they (Inter Milan) were not the main favorites to be in the final. Napoli, but they had to be eliminated, then AC Milan also had to end their struggle in the semifinals. Inter Milan, who don't have much to make them the favorites, can actually be in this final.

It must be admitted that Manchester City used their skills and tactics to maintain their form. Many powerful teams have succumbed to their tactics. This season Manchester City have gained a lot of reputation. Manchester City's coach has developed every player to be competent and responsible. Manchester City has achieved such a reputation. Manchester City has always played very well. It is expected that Manchester City will gain a reputation as a stronger team in the future

I think inter milan and manchester city are saving their players for this final so they don't play their core players at the end of the season to face the rest of the league games, that's why the final will be a match that everyone will be waiting for, I am a manchester city supporter too don't want to underestimate Intermilan's strength because they have fought to the final full of struggles so that it is impossible for Intermilan to disappoint in the final in front of all their supporters.

I would probably still bet on Manchester City winning this match, even if the result is a narrow win, at least they can win the UCL this season or most likely a treble winner. I believe Guardiola made a good strategy to face Intermilan later.

Manchester City coach Guardiola has had plenty of time to find Inter Milan's weaknesses. Since reaching the Champions League final, his plans revolve around the final match where they face Inter Milan. Guardiola is building his players by looking for weaknesses in all areas of Inter Milan.

 LAs Inter Milan are Champions League finalists, there is nothing to take them lightly. They have to take on tough opponents and perform the way they need to perform as tough opponents.  There may be some changes in the playing format from Manchester City. Manchester City are favorites for the Champions League trophy this season.

Of course, even though the team is not the favorite, but when it comes to the Champions League final, of course the teams that are not seeded will also have a big effort to be able to play well in the final match later. But unfortunately, if I compare Inter to Manchester City at this moment, then I personally would still choose Manchester City to win.

It doesn't matter what squad Inter has and it doesn't matter how Manchester City beat Inter, because in the end it will still be the same that the winning team will get the trophy. But yeah, at least if Inter can put up a tough fight, then Manchester City can't beat Inter by a big score either, at least it will keep the club good by not losing by an embarrassing score.

Why not? There are no teams who will be leading the match. The final will always become a place for anyteam to go all in getting the trophy. This is UCL and im sure that if intermilan will not be also playing so badly against manchester city. It will be using all of available resources to beat manchester city no matter what happened with it. UCL has always become the most prestigious trophy to be won by any european club. That's why a competitive match gonna happen.
I thought that if there will be no a team that will dominate each other. Intermilan is also having good striker that has the same capabilities as haaland. Lukaku and lautaro martinez gonna be the main concern by pep guardiola.
pep knew that if lukaku is also having a very good physique, like haaland. he will become a threat for manchester city as well. I hope that lukaku will be a hero for intermilan.

Previously, I corrected that this was not the first final for Manchester City because in the 20/21 season Manchester City had advanced to the Champions League final against Chelsea and at that time Chelsea managed to beat them with a narrow score of 1-0. Of course the Manchester City players were very upset at that time because they failed to win their first Champions League title and this time they will try to do everything they can to win the first Champions League title. But indeed it will not go smoothly because the opponent is Inter who is one of the regular champions in this competition and with the history that Inter has, it will certainly add motivation to its players later.

The final match is only one, not like the other matches where there are first and second leg, so I don't think Manchester City will underestimate Inter. They will try to attack and score few goals to secure their position, after that there's a possibility Manchester City will underestimate Inter because they don't need to play very well anymore.

Inzaghi don't have any special strategy, he always use a classic balance strategy 3-5-2, Guardiola definitely know Inter's strategy and easier to find the weakness.

Regardless of the better players, Manchester City got for this game they played against stronger teams to be in this stage and they won all the games, unlike Inter Milan which had an unstable performance during this year, Manchester City had a stable performance and they were usually in good form.

Man City players will definitely not underestimate Inter Milan. It's just that Man City, who might be playing more carefully, could actually be used by Inter Milan. Man City, which always fits their attack strategy, will certainly trouble Inter Milan's defense. But if it turns out that Man City has reduced the aggressiveness of their attacks, then this will open up opportunities for Inter Milan to be able to turn around to play more attacking. But Inter Milan must also be aware that Man City players' attacks are always dangerous. so Inter Milan might choose to use a defensive strategy in the final match later.

There's nothing wrong with the advantage that Man City has because they are so far the most likely to continue to win trophies. But on the other hand, Inter is still Inter, whose qualification for the final was not expected by many people. Therefore, I am sure that Man City will remain vigilant about Inter's game. Pep Guardiola is very alert and as much as possible with the advantages he has will be put to good use. Because this is the final, Inter must have studied the opponent's game and Man City counter attack strategy is clearly very dangerous if its movements are not closed.

Be careful about making this final match difficult to predict, even though on paper Man City is the favorite to win. Inter cannot be underestimated, because succeeding in the final with great difficulty means that the determination of the players will burn even more.


Now, this is what Man City needs to worry about, apart from feeling superior, something unexpected could happen to them when they face Inter's game. And if at this time the Man City players seem to feel superior or even underestimate their opponents, it can boomerang on itself. Whoever the opponent is when it's in the final, miracles can happen. Seeing the optimism of the Inter players can be used as a weapon in playing their role on the field. Not only talking about quality but in terms of luck, and mentality for 90 minutes must also be calculated very carefully.

There are some signs that showed, Manchester city has what it takes to defeat Inter Milan in this final battle to make their fans celebrate again, because we have seen the massive performance they displayed in some matches to eliminated Real Madrid and other strong teams. I think, I will support Manchester city in this match, despite some poor performance they experienced from their last match in the premier league competition that made the match to ended up 1-1, but Manchester city still maintain their position at the moment. If Manchester city can display what they displayed to defeated Real Madrid, I don't think Inter Milan will have any opportunity to their goalpost till the end of the match.

Believe that the Champions League will not go easy for Man City even though people are very optimistic, but it is undeniable that anything can happen. Considering that this is the first time Man City has been in the final, no matter how ideal the season's performance is, the mentality of the players will be a little disturbed. In top matches, opponents who are underestimated are often a more dangerous threat because Inter really don't want this match to end easily.

Maybe the reason is that Pep Guardiola knows better what to do in the final, but Inter also have a strategy and Inzaghi himself must have prepared everything possible so that his players can get out of the opponent's pressure.

In fact, I see that the majority of us really want to see Manchester City lift the Champions League trophy this season. And I feel the same way. Because in terms of the quality of their play and performance throughout the season, I think Manchester City is far more than deserving of the title in the Champions League. I hope this time Man City can make their dream come true. Because it's really sad if a team as strong as Man City hasn't been able to win the UCL trophy until this season.

Of course they will play with the best squad and also the strategy that will be demonstrated by the two coaches will be the best strategy in this match. But we can't deny that Mancehster City seems unbalanced for Inter Milan, with no intention of underestimating Inter Milan because after all they are the best team proven to be in this final. But in terms of consistency and strength, of course Manchester City is better than Inter Milan.

But I am very sure Manchester City will secure the title this year as Inter Milan are far behind in terms of performance. But if unfortunately Manchester City can't secure the title then the biggest opportunity for the team will be missed. Inter Milan, on the other hand, are looking to create history if they can secure the title.

If Manchester City turns out to lose again in the Final. Maybe this will be a kind of curse for Manchester City in the Champions League. Because in past seasons, Manchester City has always been a team that has been talked about a lot about their superiority in the game on the field. They always managed to beat every strong team they faced. It's just that they always seem to be unable to complete their lead. and always fail at the end. But in my view for this season Manchester City's performance is much better than in previous seasons. Now they have strikers who are hungry for goals and also have incredible pace in attack.
