Pep Guardiola's team has already won the FA Cup and the Premier League. Inter, on the other hand, have already won the Coppa Italia. In this Champions League final Man. City will have most of the ball possession while the Italians should rely on their defensive skills. This final will take place in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. It is clear that the bookies see the Skyblue as clear favorites for the title. In the past few months, Manchester City has simply appeared as the strongest team in Europe. In the Premier League they scored 94 goals in 38 games and ultimately won the title with a five-point advantage over Arsenal. They also recently defeated Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final and are thus they are on the verge of the first treble in the club's history. So it fits into the picture that the Citizens have not shown any real weakness in the course of the Champions League. In the knockout rounds there were no major problems with RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The attack was once again mainly responsible for the march to the final. In those six games, City were able to score 17 goals. On the other hand, Inter have not conceded eight times in the previous twelve games of this Champions League season. Particularly impressive. In the round of 16, quarters and semi-finals they kept a clean sheet five times. Only the 3-3 second leg of the quarterfinals against Benfica doesn't really fit into the picture. However, it could also be argued that the Italians benefited to some extent from the luck of the draw. With Porto, Benfica and city rivals AC Milan, the road to the final was noticeably easier than that of Manchester City. It is unlikely that Inter will continue it's run to zero in the final with this attack of the Citizens. |
