As a squad, I think the two teams have their strengths and weaknesses and seeing the two coaches, both are genius coaches. Maybe what distinguishes Pep Guardiola has managed to make a great team, but in my opinion, Inzaghi is also a smart coach. He can build a squad with limited funds, very different from Pep Guardiola, who can win only if he is equipped with a team with unlimited funds, like before at Barcelona, Bayern Munich. and now Man City before he came they already had a good team. This will also be proof for Inzaghi whether Inter Milan can make it victorious again in Europe.

Each club has a different playing character, because in a final match anything can happen. even though a very superior team like Man City is not necessarily in the kua final match. because the coach's strategy and the different character of the players will determine the course of the game, even if the players are superior. but if they are in tight pressing they can't do much in that match.

I remember that it used to be like that. Many top teams lost in the final. example of the 1996/1997 final juventus vs Dortmund 1-3 juventus lost even though they were superior. On the 2011/2012 final, Bayern Munich vs Chelsea, Bayer lost 5-4 in a penalty shootout, especially when the final was at Bayern's own stadium, the Bay Arena.

Manchester City are finally very close to winning their first ever Champions League title in their history. This isn't the first time they are reaching the final round of course. The previous one didn't end well for them and I think it happened due to underestimating their opponent back then as well. I don't expect Guardiola to make the same mistake twice. This has been his main target to achieve for Manchester City.

It is a very special moment for Inter at the same time. Maybe they are the underdog side but I'm sure they will do their best here. It has been a long time since they won this title the last time - 09/10 season. But I'm afraid their chance is really low to increase the number of their Champions League titles to 2 this season.

After Manchester City have this achievement people will expect the same success from PSG as well. But for now PSG need the right coach for themselves first.

It is normal to have seasons like this, there is nothing wrong with that. But the weirdest part is that they did not have a big change at the team if you ask me from last year, small changes, and from winning the league and ucl last season, to nearly becoming third at this point and also losing at semi finals within span of like a year, is weird.

I mean if they are still like this next season for example, I would say they were like this for a while, if they keep being like this for 5 seasons I would say that's who they are, but from last season to this season, turning this bad in a single year is very weird. I do not understand how they became like that and I hope that they will do better next season. It's always good to have competition.

Theoretically and on paper, City deserve to lift the trophy in this competition. because in terms of the quality of the players, City is superior to Inter Milan. not only that, referring to the statistics of the two teams this season. City is still much better. so, there is no other reason if City is more favored than Inter. what I say is corroborated by the odds available for these two teams. very clear, if the bookies favor City over Inter. even though this match, is the final match. but after all, these two teams have a gap.

Like you said, the question is whether City can lift trophies and beat Inter like Madrid did. well, we will get the answer when these two teams meet in the final match. one more thing, we will see what Inzaghi will do to prepare his team to face City later. if, Inter do not have a formula for how to contain the City players. that means, City will freely break through the defense of the Inter Milan players. I think, a job that is not easy for Inter and the coach. because they are well aware that City is superior to them. Uniquely, in football anything can happen.

Both teams are certainly preparing so well for the final of the Champions league, as we witnessed in the game against Chelsea where Guardiola had his first team resting while he started the game with second tier players, it just shows how much this trophy means to them and so they are given it everything thing to win this time same as Inter Milan, no doubts the final match will be very interesting.

Manchester city is not unbeatable. You will only have issues playing Manchester city when you approach them with fear or have a defensive minded formation. If you do so, you will see Ake and Akinji of guys play your midfield while Manchester City goalie will play defence and Kelvin will play as a top striker and Halland will finish you. The best formation to follow Manchester city is to press high and follow them squarely.
If you are on your TV now, you can tune in to EPL Manchester City vs Brighton and see how Brighton guys are playing Manchester City like ordinary club, unlike what Real Madrid did.
If Inter can approach Manchester City normally, the match will look like a final, otherwise City will demolish them within 30mims.

I have a lot of faith in Manchester City, and I don't think they'll be beaten by Inter Milan in the Champions League final. Look at their performance from the group stage to now; they've been doing incredibly well and have defeated many major teams to get here. Do you still doubt them winning the match against Inter Milan after passing through Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to get to this point? We should congratulate them in advance because the final is already decided for them.

I find Manchester City this year very powerful whether tactically or in terms of players quality and performance but also top management. I am afraid that if they fail this year to have the Champions League title then I don't see them getting it done any time soon.
Inter is very unstable and fluctuating, could not be compared to Manchester City, yet unpredictable and annoying. I want to see City winning the title personally.

Indeed, but I think it is not merely due to Pep Guardiola's overthinking. First of all, losses can happen even if you are the superior team. There have been other finals where one team dominated the whole game and the other team won, but not due to overthinking. Against Chelsea you are right, that was a tactical mistake. But at the same time Inter's strategy only works when they do get a goal. Although it is an option for them to go the full distance and still have a 50% win chance when it ends in penalties.

But if Inter gets the goal, it is much more difficult because they can immediately park the bus as you said. That won't be fun for Manchester City anymore. There is no guarantee that a goal from distance will happen like Manchester City did against Bayern Munich in the first leg or against Real Madrid. But I am still on the fence whether Inter will try to keep a reasonable attack rate throughout the game until they get their goal or whether they will park the bus very early on in the game, betting on some lucky goal or accept a game without goals to make it into extra time. Because they know that that would make Manchester City very nervous.

They had come close to the trophy a few times before, but Chelsea had beaten them and won the trophy. This year, they took the revenge of the year they were eliminated by Real Madrid. Now they've reached the finals again and it's time to win the UCL trophy they've never won before. I think they will play very well and easily beat Inter in the final and become champions.

Talking about getting a revenge some supporters adviced not to use the word “Revenge” before the first leg because it would provoke Real Madrid to something crazy lol. Manchester City are a very strong side under Guardiola's management and for several years they have shown they have the quality to be even the best and this season they have shown that again by beating Real Madrid in the second leg of the semi finals tie. One more game to lift the trophy, will they be able to defeat Inter Milan as they did Madrid?

Comparing the two coaches for sure I personally would choose Pep Guardiola as the coach who will win the Champions League again, and I think most people will also have the same thought at this time.
The bookmakers and many people prefer Manchester City as the favorite and that is only natural when we see the performance of the two teams that will meet. I don't mean to belittle Inter Milan at all, but I consider the final meeting of these two teams to be said to be unbalanced now. And I think there will also be the same as I think this match is not quite even.

First I want to compare Pep Guardiola with Inzaghi, we know Guardiola won the champions league for two times while Inzaghi could never do that. The experience of Guardiola can help him with this match in the final of the champions league.

Also, the odds for Inter Milan are 7.90 and Manchester City 1.46 which can show us people mostly think Manchester City can easily beat Inter Milan in the Final match and I think the same way. However, taking the risk of betting on Inter Milan for this match can give good rewards.

Without a player transfer it is impossible. At the moment Real Madrid are in a difficult position, they have good players with a young age. The best move is to start regenerating players. If they are still passive like last year, it will make them bad. They won't be able to compete without player updates. Bringing in experienced young players with a long period of time is certainly profitable. Maybe Mbaape can make them different. Coupled with Beligham, it is certainly good enough to replace Kroos and Modric.

CL isn't over yet so I still can't say that Guardiola has been a perfect success even though Manchester city has won the English league trophy this season, but we don't know who will be the CL champion this season, Manchester city still has to deal with Intermilan and this is where Guardiola has to be able to convince everyone that he really succeeded in making Manchester City a club that should be respected by opponents.

I know some people might think that Manchester City can easily win the CL by beating Intermilan, but don't underestimate Intermilan's opponents either because they might surprise Manchester City. My hope is that Guardiola is really successful in bringing Manchester City to a treble winner

As a coach he has no doubts about his ability to make the club he leads organized in many ways. Especially if the club he leads has stable financial capabilities, it will make it easier for him to do something related to money. As with player transfers, he can easily get players without difficulty in terms of nominal money.
Of course if he leaves Manchester City next season for example, Manchester City will have to start over from scratch, I mean the coach usually has a different strategy and it will require adaptation to make his strategy work smoothly.

It is impossible for every club to have such long dominance in the Champions League and for Real Madrid I think their dominance is over for now and in the future it is not certain that Real Madrid will again reach its peak of glory in the Champions League, because after all they have to fix some weak points who are in the main squad. If you look at the current Man City line-up so perfect on all fronts and Pep Guardiola has learned a lot from previous defeats and they managed to keep the title challengers satisfied with a 4-0 scoreline at the Etihad Stadium.

Now it's just one more step for Man City to come out as champions and they will face representatives of the Serie-A League and in terms of quality they are not much better than Man City, so Man City's opportunities and analysis are very superior. Back to Real Madrid and I think they will have to bring in some new players next season if they want to compete and be in the Champions League title race.

I also agree with you, one of the factors for the success of Manchester City is because it is managed by a great coach who has a lot of experience. Guardiola has previously achieved success with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, he has also managed to change the playing style of his team as desired. The success that Manchester City achieved was because Guardiola was on the sidelines. I take the PSG example as a comparison, PSG, which has a myriad of great players is unable to provide competition in the UCL because it is not supported by a great coach.
Winning the UCL trophy is Guardiola's goal with Manchester City, he also has the potential to win treble winner if he can beat Manchester United in the FA Cup.

If what you mean is Real Madrid, I think that next season Real Madrid will definitely buy several new players to improve their performance which has been a bit sluggish this season even though Real Madrid was able to win the Copa Del Rey trophy this season. But that certainly won't be enough for a team as big as Real Madrid, which in fact often ranks at the top of the league and in the Champions League every season. So next season Real Madrid will definitely see some talented young players for them to buy if the price is very suitable.
