UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[lalabotax]

Manchester City is very organised this season and no matter how many people may not want them to win, they are team most likely to win the championship. Inter Milan can steal it, .

No doubt. If according to their predictions and their calculated strength, Man City should be able to beat Inter, even though they still have to make high efforts. Because after all, the UCL final is always looked forward to and no one should underestimate one another, because sometimes the results are very surprising on the field. but on the other hand, I believe that Man City is capable of becoming a winner with their well-organized strength, solidity and consistency. Moreover, they are stronger in every way.

Haaland's being ineffective in both legs of the matchup against Real Madrid was a truth. However I don't want to be cruel about him in general of course. Because he has had an incredible season so far and no doubt he has reached way beyond the expectations from him for this season. Besides even though Haaland's not scoring or making assists Manchester City still did an amazing work in the second leg to finish the incomplete job.

The only thing they need to do from now on is to not belittle Inter in the finale. Inter are no inexperienced team in the Champions League. They have really good memories here indeed. Maybe there is still a huge player quality difference between two teams now but this still doesn't guarantee anything. For not repeating the same thing in another finale Manchester City need to play completely concentrated on it. They should be winning the title finally then.

Haaland in the first leg of the semi-final did not contribute much to Man City. Because Real Madrid has a reliable defender who can overcome Haaland, namely A. Rüdiger. Haaland couldn't get many chances in the first leg. Even his movements continue to be overshadowed by Real Madrid players. making it difficult to get the ball to Haaland's feet.

In the second leg, Haaland's contribution was even better. and actually behind B. Silva's success in scoring goals is also because the Real Madrid defenders are too busy focusing on the movements of Haaland and De Bruyne. so B.Silva could have more space to score.

Inter Milan cannot be underestimated but Man City should be able to overcome Inter. But because this is football, unexpected results can happen. but I and many people did not expect it.

[Leviathan.007]

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.

I really don't expect to see Inter Milan winning this game because in my idea a team like Inter Milan to be in the final match and racing for the champions league title is a great achievement considering the performance they had during this season. Also, Manchester City is in good form to easily beat a team like Inter Milan.

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.

In the case of Haaland the answer is quite easy and obvious and doesn't need a lot of thinking and analysis. If a player breaks goal scorer records in the Premier League, there is no need to discuss whether he fits into the team and whether it works out. The numbers speak for themselves. But there is still a strategic element that changes in the game of Manchester City when you play with Haaland instead of another creative player filling the center forward position.

With Haaland you have another option, which is cross balls. That wasn't so popular for Manchester City because they didn't have this striker with superior physique. Now they do and he is good at almost everything. Maybe one small weakness he has is the one vs. one dribbling attacks. I wouldn't say his technique is bad only because it looks a bit stiff sometimes, but he is not the high speed dribble guy who is taking opponents one on one all the time.

[Masplanc]

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.

Manchester city against Real Madrid wasn't a surprise, Manchester City was my favourite to win that very game. In the first leg and second leg Manchester city did better than Real Madrid  and I have been taking note of Manchester City performance in other games I see something more in than what I see in Real Madrid.

When facing Madrid in the second leg and early in the first half this scheme has been shown and is actually still quite effective, it's just that Courtois was still able to make a brilliant save for the 2 opportunities that Haaland created.
Currently their conditions can still be the same. with Silva or Mahrez on the side of the field and of course Grealish on the other side I think this scheme will still be effective. On the other hand, don't forget KDB's classy passes from the middle of the pitch because his options can become overwhelming because when that scheme doesn't work he can create chances with his powerful shots.

Also, Manchester City is in good form to easily beat a team like Inter Milan.

I guess if it's not only you but anyone will be looking at the statistic first yet, city fans shall not be putting intermilan as underrated team. That reminds me how city fans were underestimating chealsea but it was losing in the final against chelsea.
City fans shall have always put respects to the opponent. it's caused by manchester city has not yet faced with the new form of intermilan right now. Simeone inzaghi has become the guy who was always making intermilan to be even stronger.

He will be a good rival for pep in the final. I guess that if city will be getting many parties, blame the club if it will not be able to win UCL this season. Intermilan is still having lukaku which is as strong as haaland and lautaro martinez which is also as good as KDB.
No reason to mocking intermilan as a weak club at this moment. Let's wait and see who will be winning the game.

The final of UCL gonna be a very hyped match as it will make italian club to fight with england club

Besides even though Haaland's not scoring or making assists Manchester City still did an amazing work in the second leg to finish the incomplete job.

This was really accurate regarding Haaland in their semifinal match against Real Madrid, but as you noted, he's done so much this season and brought his club so far to be criticized on such a little talk to be neglected. Sometimes a player's mere presence in a match is enough to terrify the opposing players; he does not need to be in peak form or contribute significantly to the match.

The only thing they need to do from now on is to not belittle Inter in the finale. Inter are no inexperienced team in the Champions League. They have really good memories here indeed. Maybe there is still a huge player quality difference between two teams now but this still doesn't guarantee anything. For not repeating the same thing in another finale Manchester City need to play completely concentrated on it. They should be winning the title finally then.

After a successful season, Manchester City has earned this opportunity. Inter Milan are not a little side to be underestimated, but there is a significant difference in their style of play and player quality, as you have stated. We all know that the better odds are on Manchester City to win. However, football is unpredictable, and anything can happen, so both sides must be at their best to have a chance of winning the final.

There is nothing to underestimate Inter Milan even though Manchester City are in top form. I am very sure that Manchester City will win the title because they have beaten the likes of Real Madrid so well that Inter Milan will not be a strong opponent.

[Despairo]

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?

Read my post once again mate, you're just saying if I'm Inter fan, but I didn't even saying Inter has an edge against Manchester City.

As long as there's no official announcement of the champion in Premier League, there's still a chance other club might overtake Manchester City. Serie A is the example where Juventus was previously got points deduction, it's already impossible for them to qualify Europa or Champions league in the next season. But after few months Juventus able to recover the 15 points deduction and now they will play in the next Champions League

[Swordsoffreedom]

Manchester City have certainly learned from their mistakes over the past few seasons. And Guardiola has tried to strengthen his team. In the final against Chelsea, I thought Manchester City would win. But unfortunately, they could not beat Chelsea. Inter Milan is not in a strong position now. Their performance is quite erratic. Manchester City has the possibility of winning this year's title.

The UCL trophy has become much easier for Manchester City after defeating Real Madrid. Maybe Manchester City is going to win ucl trophy for the first time under Pep Guardiola against Inter Milan. Ahead of the first leg match against Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola said he is a failed coach for Manchester City if he can't win the UCL trophy this season.  Maybe Pep Guardiola had already planned this. The UCL 2022/23 season is a golden opportunity for Manchester City to win the UCL title.

Manchester City has already confirmed the Premier League title. And so now Manchester City's main goal is the Champions League title. In the last two seasons, some minor mistakes kept them from winning the title. Hopefully, Guardiola hasn't forgotten the mistakes of the last two seasons. And he will further refine his team this season. Opponents of Inter Milan are not very strong. But their match strategy is quite good. Manchester City must perform very carefully if they want to win.

I'll be happy if Guardiola doesn't apply any weird new match tactics against Inter Milan. I believe that Manchester City can beat Inter Milan if they keep up their performance. If Guardiola applies a new match strategy in the final, it is likely to have an adverse effect on the players.

Different teams usually have to adopt different strategies.  Because the playing strategy of all teams is not the same.  Manchester City's strategy against Real Madrid may not work against Inter Milan. Different strategies need to be adopted depending on the team.

You are right. Different teams require different strategies. But in the last two seasons, Manchester City lost against Chelsea and Madrid due to poor tactics. I don't want to see the same thing again. This season I want to see Manchester City as the champions.

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.

Manchester city against Real Madrid wasn't a surprise, Manchester City was my favourite to win that very game. In the first leg and second leg Manchester city did better than Real Madrid  and I have been taking note of Manchester City performance in other games I see something more in than what I see in Real Madrid.

Indeed, the performance shown by Manchester City was better than that shown by Real Madrid. Now they have done their job well, there is only one job left for them, namely the final match. Against them, Inter Milan is also not in very good shape, so Manchester city continues their favorite status in the final match later. I can say 70/30 for Manchester City.

And Manchester City's task now is to think about the final because Manchester City still has to beat Inter Milan in the final even though for some people the opponent in the Champions League final this time is a very easy opponent for Manchester City, but Manchester City must be able to perform as well as possible to become champions in Champions League after a long time of failure.

The favorite to win the Champions League this season is still going to Manchester City because considering that their performance is much better than other teams, but Manchester City also cannot make mistakes because any team that appears in the final will definitely try their best to win. So the match will still be exciting even though for now the favorite by many people is Manchester city.

[bayu7adi]

I mean when defenders focus on Haaland, from there their focus on other Manchester City players will decrease, from there they can go in to become another target for Manchester City's attack.

Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne have a great opportunity to play more aggressively when Haaland becomes the prime target for Inter Milan's defenders. In the Final match, I predict Inter will employ a 4-4-2 formation where their defensive line will be slightly stronger compared to their game against AC Milan. Man City will adopt a more attacking and aggressive approach, while Inter will prioritize defense and counter-attacks.

De Bruyne had a great performance against Real Madrid, I think De Bruyne had a great contribution in every attack. However, Haaland performed very poorly in that match. But I hope that Haaland will give something great to football fans in the final.

Almost all Italian clubs have good defenses, so it's possible that Inter Milan will play defensively and take advantage of counterattacks, but I believe Guardiola knows how to handle that, he's a smart coach so he can set a strategy to face Intermilan later.

Manchester city has won the English league this season, next is to win this CL as well as the FA, I think Manchester City's main target for the treble winner will be achieved because they have great players now compared to last season so Manchester City only needs to beat Intermilan and Manchester United to achieve treble winners.

[Velvet78]

I said it before like Inter wouldn't be a big problem for Manchester City. But I said it thinking of Manchester City's wouldn't underestimating their opponent and playing accordingly. Otherwise Manchester City already got a disappointment in a Champions League final game before. It was against Chelsea as you can remember clearly. Tuchel was great about finding their weakness and benefiting from it.

Guardiola had better make sure of not having hard times against Inter as well. Inzaghi would do his best to be as prepared as possible for Manchester City's usual game. I assume they would adopt a defensive game mostly because they can't do anything by playing open. It would be for the benefit of Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola would have a good laid down plan to win the champions league
Not just Silva and Bruyne, Gundogan also is an important player for City as well same goes to Grealish who has adapted to Peps plans
But all this will be history if inter scores first as they will defend till the end of the game

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.

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.

I really don't expect to see Inter Milan winning this game because in my idea a team like Inter Milan to be in the final match and racing for the champions league title is a great achievement considering the performance they had during this season. Also, Manchester City is in good form to easily beat a team like Inter Milan.

Realistically, on paper and in the bookies, Manchester City is the big favorite, but that won't mean anything when the Champions League final starts.
Final matches in major competitions always bring a lot of pressure and no one can predict the final result in advance.
Manchester City has been trying to win the Champions League for almost 10 years and the expectations of the public and fans are huge. The players have to deal with a lot of pressure and this game will be completely different for them from other games during this season.
That's why I still think that if Inter can withstand the initial pressure from Manchester City, they will have more and more chances as the game progresses.
