Pep using haaland as a trap card ... and it works really well!
As always it's a masterclass and it's against real madrid! Pep played it and ancelotti got trapped , that's why we witnessed that manchester city being so dominant to end real madrid campaign to reach the final and win the trophy , it's a mess for ancelotti ... he might really leaving after this to manage brazil national team.

Well i don't really think you need a huge brain tactic in order to use the advantage of having a striker like Erling Haaland on your side that has this incredibly strong statistics this season. The defenders of the opponent will automatically focus on Haaland because everyone knows how many goals he has already scored this season, therefore other attacking players of Manchester City have more room to play and to score. This happens automatically i think and there is no coaching masterclass needed to make that happen. It will be interesting to see what happens in the final in terms of coaching, because so far Pep seemed to have "overcoached" a lot of times in big games.

I also think that it is not some mastermind coaching. It is simple bait which the opponent seems to always fall for. And the opponent also knows very well that most of the time it is going to be really hard for a single defender to actually stop Haaland. So the team will almost always invest more players to stop him.

But while more than one player is trying to stop him the other players of Manchester City are enjoying space. And Manchester City is taking full advantage of that. I believe Manchester City has a good chance of winning both the Champions League and the FA Cup final. It will be actually unbelievable if they lose even one of that.

We didn't see Haaland's outstanding performance against Real Madrid. And he missed some great opportunities. However, we can expect Haaland to perform well against Inter Milan as their defense is not as strong as Manchester City's attack.

At least haaland was making all of madrid defenders were paying their attention to him. Haaland has been missing some golden opportunities but if you were watching how all of defenders from real madrid put their focus into the haaland.
It's not the same like the first leg when any defenders of real madrid have their own target to be marked during the match. Haaland is always become a threat for its opponent but when it will be facing intermilan. I think that intermilan is also having lukaku which has same capabilities as haaland as forward.

What Haaland has done will definitely be the main focus for Real Madrid's defense in yesterday's second leg and it's clear the Real Madrid defense doesn't realize that there is a midfielder who really stands out like Bernardo Silva who often stabs at goal and scores goals. Maybe it's time for Real Madrid to start building a new squad for next season's champions league and their main target if they meet Manchester City again is to take revenge. Inter do have Lukaku who has a high status like Haaland, it's just that in my opinion Haaland is still quite superior in terms of aggressiveness, speed and physical contact. Haaland is more troublesome in my opinion than Lukaku.

Real Madrid will not be able to completely rebuild their squad in a few months, but they can do it before the match with Manchester City because it could be a year, two years, five years, etc.

I don't understand about Lukaku... How do you compare him with Haaland when they are completely different levels, Haaland is several times better than the former. Lukaku has only scored 8 in 22 games, he is bad at creating and taking chances.

We thought the same when Manchester City played their first Champions League final against Chelsea a few years ago. We all know very well how that match ended, even though Manchester City was a big favorite in the bookies.
The final of the Champions League is always a very difficult game, which is very difficult to play, and the game can very easily go in an unwanted direction.
Inter showed that they play very well and organized, especially in defense, and they should not be underestimated.
Of course, Manchester City is a big favorite, but favorites don't always win. The longer the Inter players last without conceding a goal, the greater their chances in the final will be, and the Manchester City players will be more and more nervous and the pressure on them will be increasing.

I hope that history doesn’t repeats itself this season with Inter Milan vs Manchester City in the finals. As much as Manchester City have proven to be a formidable opponent by eliminating one of the best in the history of the competition, it would be a pity to see Inter Milan winning the trophy this season.

After Manchester City beat Bayern and Real Madrid by huge scores, there is probably no doubt that they will win the Champions League this year. Inter Milan have also played well in recent matches and got to the final for a reason, but Manchester City are much stronger than them. It will be a very big surprise to me if City can't win. But I don't think Inter can do anything.

already sure that Man City will really win this champions league with the performance of very strong players who can beat Inter Milan in the final round again. to be honest, I actually didn't think that Man City would be this great to be able to get rid of strong teams in the past like Real Madrid.
and I'm sure that Man City will get the champion's league title trophy even though Inter Milan is also very good but for me it can't beat Man City.
if Man City succeeds in getting the title, this will be the first title they have won and will be something new in the champions league.

I also think the same, for me there is no other team that is stronger in this UCL season, I do not deny that Haaland is a player who can solve a game quickly, and if Pep is a great strategist, I imagine that he has already studied Madrid from above and below and he himself recognizes that Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, he also knows that if Ancelotti assigns 2 players so that Haaland does nothing, he will disable him and let 10 players play in attack completely, this The game will be very interesting, I think that the winner here will be Madrid.

Manchester city are overhype in games compared to Real Madrid. It's important to state out the clear facts among both clubs, the Los blancos have the experience and confidence to win any opponents when it comes to UCL games while Manchester city have good records in UCL and also EPL. They got eliminated by real Madrid last season, although they will not take it easy on with real Madrid. However I'm pretty sure Carlo Ancelotti have a way he absorbed the pressure from Pep Guardiola, he always sort out good goal opportunities against English clubs. Erling Haaland is not a threat because if city midfield is comprehended by Madrid, Haaland won't be able to net a single goal in the game.

Well, we all had the hope that Carleto could solve the difficult situation, the first game was very useful to be able to know his strategies, but the second game back was the most important, it was the definitive one, it is not to detract from the other party of the teams, but I also think that Milan lacked a lot to prove and the Real Madrid vs. Milan final could not take place, just as Madrid did not like how Milan played in the UCL semifinal , in the local League they are in a normal way, not so Prominent, normally we have seen that many teams that are first in the Local leagues and win the UCL , but this case is very Different.

The Frenchman remains a central player for Los Blancos, despite their failure to retain the La Liga and Champions League titles, in a frustrating end to the campaign.

Benzema’s contract expires in June, but the veteran striker is expected to sign another 12-month renewal in the Spanish capital, as a show of faith in the 35-year-old.

Despite only managing four Champions League goals in 2022/23, Benzema has racked up 17 league goals, in an injury disrupted season.

Haaland acts as a substitute for the Real Madrid defense, and that allows other players to take advantage of existing gaps to score goals. That is part of the strategy, Pep Guardiola is well aware that this player will get tight marking, so he takes advantage of it with other players who can act as real goalscoring targets. And the strategy worked flawlessly.

You can see how Haaland is marked strictly by Real Madrid players. and how the first goal was created, the Madrid players focused on marking Haaland who had previously had several chances but was saved by Courtois. when everyone was focused on Haaland and De Bruyne, Benardo Silva had free space to move into the penalty area even though he was only one or two meters from Luca Modrid. unfortunately, it was too late for Modrid to shut down Benardo Silva and in the end City scored their first goal. after that, the scheme of the second goal looked no different. again, Benardo Silva has free space near the goal of Madrid. which at its core, City is not just about Haaland alone. when Haaland is not able to score for his team, other teammates can be counted on and it has proven.

So, in the final match will the Inter defender be able to withstand the onslaught of the City players? plus, closing Haaland's movements and marking him tightly. I won't say that they won't be able to, but what is more certain, we'll have to wait for the final match to be held.

It is true that Inter Milan has performed well in the Champions League. But look at Inter Milan's opponents in the knockout round. They played against Porto in the round of 16. In the quarter-finals, they play against Benfica, and in the semi-finals they played against AC Milan. I do not consider any opponent too strong. Manchester City, on the other hand, qualified for the final after defeating the likes of Leipzig, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid. Manchester City beat Munich and Madrid quite easily. And so I don't think Inter Milan will be a tough opponent for Manchester City.

Regardless of the superiority of Man city because of its luxurious players, Inter came to the final confident with its history. Moreover, he once beat Pep Guardiola when he was still coaching Barcelona. I've seen Inter play against Lazio, that's a very good Inter Milan game, the Presingn is fast. Of course it's different from Man City which is already better. Surely Pep Guardiola will be very careful later.

What will make the difference is mental. Because Inter's pressing is incredibly tight and his counter-attacks are always dangerous. If someone says later that Man city will easily beat Inter with a big score, that's Bulshit. If Man City wins, maybe yes, but in my opinion, it won't be easy to win, let alone win big like against Real Madrid. overall the final match will run tough.

Since Pep Guardiola left Barcelona, it has been a difficult task for him to give one Champions League to Manchester City and after 2 attempt of a loss to Chelsea and dropped by Real madrid, I think the third time is deserved one for them, he didn't give up neither does the players, they have patient enough to lift this one. The only thing they need now is to finish Inter Milan in the final, the match has been decided but they shouldn't underestimate them because that is what they did with chelsea 2 years ago and they conceded an early goal and that was how they lost the battle.

Indeed, for a great coach like Pep Guardiola, it seems that he has had enough bad luck to be able to win the Champions League title since becoming Manchester City coach. He repeatedly failed and without ever giving up he did a very good job of bringing Manchester City to the Champions League final this season.

I think maybe that history must have felt very bitter for Pep Guardiola when they lost to Chelsea in 2020 and Real Madrid always haunted them to qualify. But soon we will see Pep Guardiola's dream come true next month and this is the most important trophy for The Cityzen this season.

It would be a great achievement if Pep Guardiola managed to lead Manchester City to win the Champions League for the first time. Now their chances are bigger after two seasons he failed and failed. Inter Milan is the last opponent they have to face. If you look at it now I think Manchester City will be able to beat Inter Milan, but we don't know for sure what will happen, maybe Inter Milan will fail them again right?

Even though I really favor Manchester City to be able to win the Champions League title this season, I also had the same feeling that Inter would reverse that advantage. We know that Inter's experience is also not to be taken lightly for this competition, they have won 3 Champions League titles so far and that is a pretty good collection of trophies for one of the big Italian teams.

Inter last won the champions league title back in 2010, at that time the coach was Jose Mourinho and that was over a decade ago they haven't won it yet. I think Manchester City can have an amazing squad this season but Inter have history in this competition and it is a prestige for Inter to be able to win this title again.

This season, they have indeed made changes on the front lines by joining Haaland to the squad. The previous season they usually played with a false nine strategy, but this season they played with a pure striker. Of course it has to rack Pep Gurdiola's brain, because he needs to make changes along with the changes in the strategy he applies. But it went smoothly, indeed at the beginning they struggled a little, but when they really adapted well they immediately stepped on the gas with the extraordinary goals that Erling Haaland created.

Correct and if you remember when Guardiola was in Barcelona, he didn't need a pure striker because everyone was dangerous for the opponent and he had Messi who sometimes covered 60 or 70 yards on the pitch just on his own. Haaland can do that and he has amazing speed, but he is not typically known for high speed counter attacks and dribblings. He is still a weapon and probably the best in the world next to Mbappe, but there is a difference between the two. Mbappe is more the Messi guy, taking the ball and accelerating and running across the entire pitch. Haaland is a player who is the best in short sprints finding the gap. Usually someone like Mbappe fits better into a squad like Manchester City at first glance, but as long as they find a way to perfectly integrate Haaland into their style, it is still an impressive combination. Haaland doesn't like that ultra high possession soccer style as much.

Haaland has a tall and strong body, and that way it will make it easy for Haaland to win the duel. So, I personally don't see whether or not Haaland is suitable to play at Manchester City, because after all every player will try to adapt and that way, the player will get the right gameplay as instructed by the coach.

But apart from that, I just don't think Pep Guardiola didn't apply maximum gameplay in the first leg, because the draw in the first leg makes us have a perspective on Real Madrid, which at least still has a chance to win. But the truth is, Manchester City can beat Real Madrid by a terrific score in the decider to qualify for the final in the second leg.

I don't think Inter Milan will be a very difficult opponent. Because this team's performance is very erratic this season. However, Inter Milan has been playing quite well in the last few matches. Even so, I would say their defense is still not strong enough. Because Manchester City's attack is very strong. So beating City with a weak defense is almost impossible. I will keep Manchester City ahead in this year's Champions League title fight.

People might have the same thought like you but in my believe if intermilan is as strong as manchester city. You can see that if intermilan was almost reaching the perfect result in UCL. It's only having bad performance once it was facing bayern in the qualified group. The fact that if intermilan was never losing against another club again after that match against bayern. Intermilan has been slowly but surely waking up again. I hope that there will be a surprise that will come from intermilan soon.
It's gonna be a very good thing to see inter to win UCL again after almost a decade since it has been coached by mourinho.
Simeone inzaghi was also making the owner of intermilan feels surprised caused by he was only target inter to reach top 16 but intermilan is able going to the final.
So many thanks by intermilan to the inzaghi and some players which are contributing a lot like lukaku and lautaro martinez

Manchester City managed to issue his ace card in this second leg. They didn't issue that in the first leg because they are well aware that their opponent in the semifinals is a club that can surprise, and they are smart not to use all their abilities in the first leg, so it is difficult for Real Madrid to see the full strength they have. Many have speculated and questioned why Pep Guardiola did not make substitutions throughout the match and he answered that with their game in the second leg. However they deserve to be in the final.

Man city is expected to play in the final as well as in the semi-final. because Inter is not yet a big rival for Man City. man city is a very strong team and they have reached the final which means they will be champions this time. Because they are a strong team. Silva was a big support for Man city he scored 2 goals alone during the semi final. and in the final I think Silva will play a big role. I am very excited for the final match

For the final though, in this case, Inter are below them in my opinion, but Pep is not going to mess with this.
They will definitely appear at full strength and of course it will be very interesting whether Inter will passively follow Madrid for last year's final between Liverpool and Madrid, where Real Madrid are more passive and focused on counterattacks or indeed they will try to compensate for Manchester City's game which fast.
Haaland is a goal machine but on the other hand when looking at Manchester City who are a bit stuck for Haaland they have other options with some of their wide players.
This really needs a lot of anticipation and marking if Inter are trying to keep up with City's game.

No matter what tactics Inter use, Man City are capable of countering them. Because all their players are very smart. Man city have been a spectacular spectacle in football and there is doubtless any football lover who is not aware of their performance. Since Man City has reached the final, it does not seem that they will leave the field without being champions. However, no result can be guaranteed in football matches. any team can win. therefore Inter cannot be neglected

The match between Inter Milan and Manchester City is our focus today because of the struggle for the Champions League trophy which is quite prestigious, I also think that Inter Milan will face a very difficult match against Manchester City, progress and achievements obtained by Mancaster City this season. Good.
Inzhagi has a good victory in her domestic league in their last match and the semi -finals at the Semi Final Champion not giving AC Milan the chance to win.
This is not just a match for the trophy but risking the reputation of its domestic league between Serie A and the League Prmer.

The final match of Inter vs Manchester City will happen on the next month, there are still next 20 days to focus in this match, not only today.

Manchester City didn't even obtain any achievement in this season, Manchester City lost against Southampton on the Carabao Cup. Actually Inter has an achievement in this season, they won the Italian Super Cup where they were beat Milan for 3-0.

Milan was really poor in the last 10 matches, it's not because Inter is improving.

So what you're talking about? Huh

No matter the kind of analysis and statistics you might bring in in the Champions League finals between Manchester City and Inter Milan.
Everyone knows very well that city is a better club than Inter Milan. Even Inter themselves knows about this. It is not all about the seasons success so far. In fact, I don't think that there is any club that will be more successful that Manchester City this season. The English Premier League is 90% done, The champions league is almost done and they are in the finals of the English Premier League FA Cup. So what are you talking about?

This is not just a match for the trophy but risking the reputation of its domestic league between Serie A and the League Prmer.

The final match of Inter vs Manchester City will happen on the next month, there are still next 20 days to focus in this match, not only today.

Manchester City didn't even obtain any achievement in this season, Manchester City lost against Southampton on the Carabao Cup. Actually Inter has an achievement in this season, they won the Italian Super Cup where they were beat Milan for 3-0.

Milan was really poor in the last 10 matches, it's not because Inter is improving.

So what you're talking about? Huh

The match between Inter Milan and Manchester City is our focus today because of the struggle for the Champions League trophy which is quite prestigious, I also think that Inter Milan will face a very difficult match against Manchester City, progress and achievements obtained by Mancaster City this season. Good.
