UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[rahmad2nd]

As far as I know, Inter Milan usually waits on the defensive line and tries to use the counter-attacks and possible mistakes of the other team while Manchester City got a very strong attacker in hand and if Inter Milan tries to hold the ball in the defensive line Mancshter City can easily score goals. They also got an experienced coach like Guardiola to guide them however I think Inzaghi will change tactics for the final match against Manchester City.

It's possible to happen. I don't even think if intermilan will be taking the risk by going offensive against manchester city. It's caused by haaland and KDB will become biggest threat for intermilan.
Going fully defensive used parking bus strategy will be so good for intermilan. I don't care anymore what strategy used by intermilan as long as it will able to win UCL. that's enough.

Intermilan will be getting second trophy this season if it will able to beat manchester city in the final. I hope intermilan will prevent city to take treble winner.

Lukaku and lautaro martinez will become the key to win against manchester city.

I'm not sure that Inter Milan's counter-attack was able to break through such a strong Manchester City defense, but Inter Milan need to be careful with Haaland because in the previous game against Madrid, Haaland failed to score as a reliable goal machine, but I think Haaland can score more goals. in the Inter milan goal

Lukaku and Martinez will not be able to break through the defense in Manchester City, I know that Inter Milan will take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack let alone find gaps to penetrate the defense of Manchester City, but I think Guardiola will put pressure on his team to play seriously and also set a strategy that is suitable for against inter milan later. 

I'm pretty sure Pep Guardiola won't change his system and stick with the 3-2-4-1 pattern. this system has a strong formation, both when attacking and when defending. when City attacks, there will be 5 players in the opposing team's defense area. and when City were in defensive mode, they would use a 4-4-2 system, John Stones would drop down at centre-back. Haaland's position is slightly higher than De Bruyne. well, City's strength is in midfield. for now, the system that Pep Guardiola has adopted is quite unique and difficult to penetrate. we can see it, during the City vs Madrid game. or, when City played Leipzig.

Now we speak from the side of Inter. the question is, who will Inzaghi play as a center forward. Dzeko, or Lukaku. because, these two attackers have different characters. for the system, I'm not sure. but most likely, Inzaghi will still apply the 3-5-2 system. the problem is, can Inter's players break Manchester City's formation. moreover, City has players who have quite good individual skills. so, it would be very natural for bookies to favor City more.
IMO, I'm pretty sure City will lock down Inter's defense in the match. and, this fight will not go to extra time. I mean, City will win this game. although in truth, in football anything can happen. it's just that if we refer to statistics and performance, City deserves to win this competition.

[Ahli38]

Snip.

But on the other hand, if Inter Milan is able to score first and uses a defensive strategy, will Manchester city be able to break into Inter Milan's defense?
The reason I say this is because of course these two clubs want to score early but both clubs will definitely be very careful about maintaining a strong defense so it is difficult to predict which club will score early and there is no guarantee that Manchester city will score early. won the match because Inter milan wanted this match to end in a penalty.

This question is very difficult to answer, because no one can give a definite view on a match that has not yet been played. I will try to answer it with logic, Manchester City will try to increase their attack power to catch up with Inter Milan. Guardiola will look for loopholes to penetrate Inter defense in search of an equalizer or a winning goal.

Inter once frustrated Barcelona players due to the difficulty in breaking into their goal and in the end Barcelona was eliminated from the UCL, but at that time Inter was coached by Mourinho who was known to use the bus parking tactic very often.
I don't think it's difficult for Manchester City to break into Inter's goal, the striker that Manchester City has is very good, especially since Haaland has just been named the top scorer in the EPL. Manchester City playing style which relies on short passes from foot to foot will make Inter have to be careful with an open play strategy, because the consequences will be very fatal.

Well, Manchester City's attack pattern which relies on short and fast passes is what is always difficult for any team to deal with Manchester City. And this fast game tempo is also known to be able to tear the opponent's defense. We still remember Haaland who could always find a pass like a bullet, he slid quickly and scored. Things like this are mostly done by Manchester city players. bait with a fast ball rate is very difficult to stop. But what I noticed from Inter Milan's pattern of play is that they always prefer to lower the tempo of the opponent's attack. So that it will make the opponent a little frustrated and become impatient in the game. A slightly annoying strategy for opponents but always effective if Inter Milan is in defensive mode. but if it turns out that Inter Milan is making the same attack strategy as Manchester City then of course the game will be more exciting. because the two teams will take turns making attacks. And the first goal can sometimes make the team that scores the first goal even more motivated on the pitch. but because this is a final there will be different conditions from the usual match.

It doesn't matter how the match scenario plays out later, what is clear is that Manchester City are only very close to their first Champions League title this season. It makes no sense to give Inter too many chances to win after Manchester City have beaten the former champions this season. Real Madrid didn't budge when Manchester City messed up its system and game plan, so how can I doubt Manchester City against Inter?

It's true that apart from the Inter fans who expected Manchester City to lose the final, the rest were fans of other teams that Manchester City had previously beaten. I think the average Premier League club expects Manchester City to be able to win the Champions League title this season, so I think they deserve to give their best.

In fact, I think fans of the Laliga competition also want Man City to be champions. Because at least if Man City wins the UCL then Real Madrid's defeat is what they deserve. because the team that managed to beat Real Madrid was a strong team that managed to become Champions in the UCL. Maybe only fans of the Serie A competition hope that Inter Milan will win the UCL title this season.

But I remember that Man City lost in the Final to Chelsea who was not the favourite at that time. Of course I don't see this happening again. because the current quality of man city is much better than previous seasons.

[kawetsriyanto]

These attackers all are dangerous against any team Inter can face indeed. I'm curious about one thing which is whether Inzaghi is thinking of starting with Lukaku this time. Because there has been a significant level of improvement in his effort in the recent times. He started to score quite often when he had the chance just like in the old times.

But Inzaghi still didn't prefer him for a couple of matches. We saw Martinez - Dzeko duo in both legs of the Champions League semi finals. Lukaku can still enter in the second half of course. But I still feel like he can be really useful thanks to his physique as well. It is really not easy to bring him down.

Maybe Inzaghi likes to keep him like a game changer in the subs to have him on the field on the right time of a match. If Inter resist Manchester City for a long time then Lukaku's being subbed in would make a good impact.

Lukaku and Martinez showed their best form in the last few matches, I'm sure Inzaghi will prefer to use these duo-strikers in the final UCL. Martinez could score quite consistently during this season, while Lukaku finds his good form again recently. Inzaghi has 2 productive strikers and they are in good form toward the final round. This is a good sign for Inter, they probably will play more confidently against Man City.

I even think that Inter can make a faster goal if Man City is ready for a surprise made by Inter. If Man City is too focused on attacking since the early match, they probably lose focus on their defense. It will be a chance for Inter strikers to steal goals, a counter-attack strategy will be a very good option to deal with Man City offensive style.

It definitely looks like it is going to be a Champions League trophy for Manchester City. Manchester City has certainly done well to reach where they are right now. Beating a team like Real Madrid is never an easy task especially in the Champions League competition. Manchester City has done that. That's why I believe they are going to win. They are very determined this time and I can say that the Champions League trophy was their main target. And it's also okay to say that they are most probably going to achieve that.

[beerlover]

A team that has qualified for the UCL final cannot be such a weak side. Seeing that they have performed well, they have reached the final of the Champions League. And things are not as simple as we think of things. Manchester City may be the favorites for the Champions League final but they will have to work hard and if one mishap happens the outcome of this match could be anything. Inter Milan have to consider Manchester City a very strong opponent. As a strong opponent, all the plans that need to be made against Inter Milan must be done in the final match. If they can play with their best, then Manchester City will be far ahead of the chances of winning the UEFA Champions League trophy.

You are right. and that every team that passes to the Finals is certainly a strong team. They didn't qualify just by luck. but they can qualify for the final level because they have the ability to get there. And it's the same with Inter Milan. Maybe many say that Inter Milan has pretty good luck in the Champions League this season. Because they didn't meet giant teams like Bayern and Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. But still Inter Milan has managed to beat opponents who are also quite strong like Benfica. and also in the end Inter Milan was able to beat AC Milan who had beaten Napoli who had a lot of favor this season.

So even though I agree that Man City is the most superior, Inter Milan still has the same chance of winning as Man City. but I don't want anyone to get injured from both teams before the final starts. I expect maximum matches from both teams.

I do not think that "luck" would bring a team to finals. I understand that it could be luck to get you a win or two, but to finals is not something you could do with luck, it has to be just talent or nothing else. Inter managed to face with teams that were easier than what City had to face against, that is a true reality and I do agree with that but in the end the teams Inter faced against were teams that were that high on UCL as well so they shouldn't be considered nobodies neither, they were totally good teams.

In the end, we are going to see a good game, I don't care how many people think that it will be easy game, you never know until the final whistle and we are going to see which team will be playing better. It's not impossible for Inter to win, difficult for sure, but not impossible.

It will be a chance for Inter strikers to steal goals, a counter-attack strategy will be a very good option to deal with Man City offensive style.

Martinez was very efficient recently and did a great job for quite some time now. He is the striker you want to be in a great condition and who can score this one goal that you need to make it very hard for Manchester City.

On the level that both of these teams are it is possible that anyone scores an early goal. Everyone has their opinion as to who is more likely to score early and I have my opinion, too, but I wouldn't rule out that it could also be Inter. However, Inter won't be pressing as hard for an early goal as Manchester City.

In the beginning I was wishing for a different final, but the closer it comes the more it gets me excited and I believe it will be fascinating.

[terrorJR]

Well, there will definitely be an assumption like that and it is still possible to happen, but on the other hand, at this time actually betting on Inter as well and expecting surprises in it will be very difficult.
For the final odds this time, Manchester City is 1.42 and Inter is 7.60, the comparison from the bookies is also very far in this case.
Lukaku and Martinez are still very good in this regard, even though Lukaku's performance is difficult to predict, but on the other hand, things like this, especially for their attacks, will most likely only be carried out rarely, especially with the dominance of Manchester City's midfield which is very good.

Correct. Indeed, that is the main problem that must be faced by Inter Milan, namely Man City, which actually has advantages on all fronts. whether it's attack, midfield and backline. Of course this is what will make it difficult for Inter Milan to be able to implement an offensive strategy. However, if Inter Milan also implements a Defensive strategy, this will be tantamount to allowing Man City's attackers to be more free to make more attempted attacks. And I doubt that Inter Milan can continue to survive the attacks built by Man City players who always endanger their opponents. And Inzaghi must think hard about it. To be honest I was tempted to bet on Inter Milan. but I don't want to take the risk, and will still bet on Man City in the final.

It's up to Inzaghi now because all strategies will inevitably lead to risks and that's for sure.
But on the other hand I was actually hoping for an open game for Inter even though it looks like it will be a bit difficult and likely to be impossible because they realize that it is tantamount to letting City win easily on counter-attacks created given the speed of the attacks and the wing players with the type of runners Manchester City is very good.

Seeing Inter Milan play in the last few matches in Serie A strengthens me that they will be able to provide tough resistance in the final match later. Now, in this option, the two Inter Milan players on the front lines found a sizeable change in their performance, none other than the duel between Lukaku and Martinez. These two players are to be reckoned with as their prowess in the finish leaves people in awe of what they have done.

This season's champions league final is indeed very interesting because inter milan is not featured will be able to step into the champions league final but they are able to prove their strength and hope they can achieve their dream of winning the ucl trophy.

In football, I don't think anyone can win a major silverware without some bits of luck. In some cases there are teams who weren't convincing enough to make to a final but because of "Luck" as well
However Inter Milan's qualification to the final wasn't about "luck" because they played exceptionally well against their opponents en route to the final. Manchester City played a more difficult opponents than Inter but Inter Milan deservedly reached the final because of how well they played

[MK-74]

If Inter Milan were able to beat Barcelona at their golden era, they can repeat it when playing against Manchester City in the final match. Manchester City and Barcelona have golden teams, dominating their domestic leagues but Manchester City can be considered weaker than Barcelona as they don't dominate Champions League like Barcelona.

I think this probability is very very low.
There was only one team that could beat Manchester City and they were eliminated. (Real Madrid)
Manchester City's squad is very, very good and you see the game they are playing. Did you watch the second game and could you see Real Madrid?
I can't imagine what could happen for Inter Milan.

Manchester City will definitely win the champions league in Istanbul.

I'm not going to rule out Inter Milan even though it's a very low chance they have. What you said is also true, but that's a little exaggerated in my opinion, I understand why you say that, that's because Manchester City's performance is in a very good performance, but that doesn't mean Inter Milan can't do things that can make Manchester City lose, right? ? If Inter Milan could find the right formula to stop the strategies and movements of Manchester City's players, they could have won that game.
I was also part of making Manchester City the favourites, and I think that's the reason I need to say no more.

I don't think it's exaggerated, I got this idea from the matches I watched. Everyone can think differently.
I think they will beat Inter Milan by at least 2 margins.

it's true, everyone has a different point of view and that doesn't hurt.
this is football, and it's a UCL final, anything is possible.
I'm sure Manchester City will win this match but I hope that there will be surprises so that this season's UCL final is much more memorable or I expect a fierce and tense match because on paper there is a difference in quality between these 2 teams but I hope that doesn't happen in the finals later.

I want it to be a surprise too, I even support Inter Milan, but it is necessary to be realistic.
Everyone knows the difference in quality between the two teams.
If I find a ticket, I want to watch the match in the stadium. Because I live in Istanbul.

Simone Inzaghi had to think hard to come up with the most effective strategy to dampen every attack built by Manchester City's front line players. And it is true that if Inter Milan also plays with the same attack strategy as Man City, then this also has a very big risk. and can overwhelm Inter when counterattacked by Man City players. but Inter's defensive strategy was just as bad. because it also gives more opportunities for Man City to try to attack from various angles.

[asriloni]

I want it to be a surprise too, I even support Inter Milan, but it is necessary to be realistic.

You can still buy it in the various sites. It's not yet sold out. that means if there are still chance for you to watch it directly in ataturk stadium. I would like to watch it directly if i were in your country. 

It's realistic here to call city has best attacking line up in UCL while intermilan is also having good stats in the defensive mode.

Let's see which team that will be performing better in the final. Intermilan has won UCL three times while manchester city has none. It's a big challenge for manchester city to win the first trophy after so many years try and fail.

[Leviathan.007]

Man City has had a very strong performance this season, so it's natural that they will become the favorites in the Champions League Final because on paper they have a better power than Inter Milan. Even mentally I think Man City has better preparedness than their opponent. If Man City can show their best performance again then they will get the trophy.

Both teams seem to have prepared themselves for each other, Inter and Manchester City are both optimistic and this is what will make the final even more exciting. Even though there are some differences in strength, currently Inter is trying to improve its defense, because anticipating the onslaught of Manchester City requires hard work. Moreover, Pep Guardiola often rotates the game, making Inzaghi have to be careful and focus on the movements of Kevin De Bruyne, Bernando, whose level of accuracy is very calculated.

Erling Haaland, Bernando, Kevin De Bruyne could be the most feared names for Inter Milan. Especially the way Kevin De Bruyne makes crossings and shots from outside the D box against the opposition is a matter of concern for any team.  Inter Milan will have to plan differently with Kevin De Bruyne.  If Kevin De Bruyne cannot be stopped, the win will be very difficult for Inter Milan. 

Erling Haaland's excellent heading as well as his pace can make the difference in a match at any time. Inter Milan will have to make several plans to create a chance to win against Manchester City. Without a high level of planning, the chances of winning against this team are very difficult.

Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are the most dangerous players and don't matter which team is the opponent, these two players are both dangerous and I think football fans expect t see weel performances from these two players in one of the most important matches they are going to have in their lives.
Haaland is just like a nightmare for any team and I guess Inter Milan's defensive line should focus on this player otherwise they will be punished.

Yes but Real Madrid has proven that it is possible to take Haaland out of the game in the literal sense. In the first leg he was almost invisible and in the second leg he also didn't score and neither did De Bruyne in the second leg. I am mentioning this because the focus will be on those two players, but what makes Manchester City really strong is the fact that they have eleven players who are outstanding. Most of them can score whether they play in the offensive or midfield lines. Since Inter is strong defensively, they will know well enough that Haaland should not be their only focus and it won't be.

Real Madrid played well in the first leg and they even were able to beat Manchester City at Bernabeu. In the first half, Rudiger completed his task well and prevented Haaland to bring danger to Real Madrid goalkeeper.

In the second leg at Etihad, Real Madrid collapsed because genius tactical changes from Pep Guardiola. They did not proactively prepare for such tactics from Pep and Manchester City but that win has one important moment. The second goal of Bernado Silva is important as it is a great play from Manchester City players but Bernado did need luckiness to score that goal. I am sure scoring goals with head is not his strength and luckily the ball bounces to a good height for Bernado to make that head shot.

Inter Milan can learn from Real Madrid and block Manchester City attacking system not only Haaland in the final.

Haaland and De Bruyne are players to watch out for the most. But unfortunately keeping these two players alone will not be enough to overcome the Man City attack. because like in the semi-final match against Real Madrid we can see that Haaland and De Bruyne have been intercepted by Real Madrid players. but it turned out that it was another Man City player who succeeded in breaking down Real Madrid's defense. So in essence Inter Milan will not be able to focus only on keeping these two players. because Man City's midfield is also always active to help build attacks and can harm the opponent's defense.

They are most important players in Manchester City. Haaland is their best scorer and De Bruyne is their best play maker and assist. It is true and Inter Milan will have to focus on those two players but they will make big mistake if they over use resource to block Haaland and De Bruyne. Manchester City have a very flexible tactical system and other players can score goals or make assists too.

Inter Milan will have to use Catenaccio to block every space cell on field in the final and break as most connections between Manchester City players as possible. It will reduce risk on their box and a longer they can block Manchester City attacks, a more chance they will see holes in Manchester City defense to counter attack.

I think of another important thing for Inter Milan in the final, referee. Will the referee play fair in the match or will be biased against Inter Milan?

[bayu7adi]

In just 10 days, the much-anticipated Final match will take place.
Inter Milan assumes the role of the underdog in their encounter with Man City. However, brace yourselves for an abundance of unforeseen surprises that possess the potential to turn the tides. Lukaku and Martinez appear poised to be the reliable game-changers in the impending final showdown.

As of now, Man City remains the frontrunner, boasting a team filled with world-class players. Man City stands at the precipice of a grand opportunity, with the potential to triumph in the forthcoming match, for their performance this season has been nothing short of stellar. They have garnered well-deserved recognition as one of the mightiest teams in Europe this year.

I'm even confident that they will win by a margin of more than 2 goals. I firmly stand by my wager on Man City's triumph in the final clash of the Champions League.


If Man City clinches the Treble Winner title this season, it's highly likely that the city of Manchester will undergo a transition. The once popular phrase "Manchester is Red" will give way to "Manchester goes Blue." Personally, I'm not pleased with this development because I believe Man City is a team built on instant success through financial backing rather than historical significance.
