Winning this game is a thing of high probability for Manchester City but not like the finals where Manchester City won because in that game it was like a must for them to win since it was supposed to determine if they will be the champions or they are going to be the runner u so guardian at that point will literally do everything to keep the citizen ahead but in this game there's a difference tho the same champions league spirit but this time Manchester City and inter Milan are going to kick off the champions league for the season tho it's not a primary determinant to anything but it's surely going to count so a draw wouldn't do much harm, invariably I'm saying if you get to see the game end a draw, just know it's not supposed to be a surprise as both teams doesn't have so much to look up to from this game.
Since UEFA Champion League season 2024/25 adopt new format, all matches are the final match for participants teams and must secure three points if won't loss opportunity dropped out from top eight standings position are directly get to knock out round place.
I think Manchester City have target for winning their first match against Inter Milan and become the most interested match for the 1 of 8 matches in Champion League phase league round.
Manchester City have lead head to head against Inter Milan after their victory on UEFA Champion League final match season 2022/23, but could be motivate for Inter Milan revenge their defeated from Manchester City and get three important away points how to secure the top eight position place. Not only have secure three points, but new format must scoring as many possibility goals if later have any teams get the same points for leading the top eight position place.
If every team competing in the Champions League this season considers each match like a final, then that means each of them has 8 final matches.
I only agree that all matches are difficult, but that doesn't mean it is always difficult for every strong team like Real Madrid or Manchester City. 8 teams qualify automatically, while the other 16 teams will compete for places through the play-off round.
Manchester City and Inter are both strong in my opinion, so it's definitely difficult to guess who will win it. But I would say that Manchester City has a big chance of winning over Inter because the match is being played at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City are playing at home and that is an advantage they should take advantage of.
