UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Grim_Fandango]

Everyone are just writing Inter Milan off in this game, am among those that believe that Inter Milan will shock the world, Inter Milan gonna win this game and lift the trophy, they're underdog in this game, they might not have  a rich squad as Manchester city but they will play with determination. Pep Guadiola is eager to win this tittle for Manchester city, and he wants to be the first manager to do so, but he will be disappointed by the Italian Giant.

Inter Milan has one big advantage over Manchester City and that is that they have Croatian player in their team.

I don't know if people know but last 10 Champions League winners all had at least 1 Croatian player in their team and it will be interesting to see if that tradition continues this year as well.

2013 Bayern won with Mandzukic
2014 Real won with Modric
2015 Barcelona won with Rakitic
2016 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2017 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2018 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2019 Liverpool won with Lovren
2020 Bayern with Perisic
2021 Chelsea won with Kovacic
2022 Real won with Modric
2023?

There aren't many people who favor Inter to win and I think I'm quite happy that someone has the same mind. Maybe some people forget that Inter is a strong team with various types of trophies they have won including the champions league, even though the last time Inter won the champions league in 2010, I think they will still have a chance to win that trophy again. Apart from all that, Inter have an impressive record in this competition and their confidence will greatly increase especially if they make it to the final round. So I think Manchester City can be the favourites, but they can't let their guard down because Inter have something that can make them win this title.

2023?

Having one Croatian in every team that have won the champions league from 2013 is just a coincidence. There was a Croatian in the Real Madrid team that Manchester City embarrassed in their stadium in England this season,  he could not influence the game. Manchester City are very strong and determined and every player in the team do not care about your Nationality or record when they play against a team, they just keep playing. Inter Milan will struggle in that game, having one Croatian in the team may not be enough to save them.

Next season in the Champions League will have new English teams in the competition to compete for it, Maybe another English team like Manchester United will get to the finals.

[shinratensei_]

It remains to be seen how Inter Milan will deal with Manchester City. Manchester City is a complete team from attack to defense. Inter Milan will have to apply extraordinary performance and strategy to perform well in the match.

That's the only way for intermilan to beat manchester city. It must have better performance compared with manchester city. Manchester city can be called as the best football team in the world right now. It's a huge challenge for intermilan to surpass manchester city. It seems like that if this gonna be another tough game for intermilan. Lukaku and lautaro martinez are ready for that match. Waiting for the final of UCL to come like waiting for another decade to come.
It's very long for me to wait that and i can't be patience.   Im very exciting waiting for that match especially im feeling curious what strategy that will be used by intermilan.
Will inter copy the strategy that used by mourinho in the past?

I think it's just a coincidence in this regard but indeed in the last 1 decade coincidences like this keep happening although this season I'm not sure it can happen again.
At the moment Inter have Marcelo Brozovic in their squad who incidentally is a Croatian player but in this case I dare not expect much for them because even in this case Manchester City do not have a Croatian player in their squad but with probabilities they are still Manchester City favorites in this regard .

In terms of the quality of Manchester City's players, it is clear that they are very superior, then from the point of view of the City coach, they are also superior. But Inter are aware of that and they are also not favored at all in that match. I hope that Simone Inzaghi cannot be discouraged by the strength of the opponent, he must have the courage to develop the right strategy to make things difficult for the British representative. The Nerazzurri are facing the final match without a burden and could have played loose, while Manchester City they are really targeting that they can have this trophy and for sure they will play the fastest. I think the pressure is on City's shoulders.

I don't believe on this theory,all those winners with a Croatian player were all co-incidence. Are you trying to say that the champion league victory will on be won by a club with a Croatian,meaning the league is made for Croatians. You have concluded from your own point of view,let's see if it will work out the way you said. Moreover, Manchester city is likely to be favored in the finals because they have the quality of players to win the game.

Inter is going to play a defensive football as usual but I don't think that will work for them because Manchester city has good strikers that will destroy any defense in the world to net the post. They are good in striking from outside the box and inside the box. Inter loves counter attack,which might be their only strategy which they will come up with. The finals also depends on luck,the must lucky team on that day will win the trophy.

This might be just a coincidence because the nationality of players will not determine the quality of players or their performance. Croatia is a football nation and there are chances that most top teams might have one or two players from the country. Manchester City has all it takes to win this game but the outcome of football games sometimes is not determined by quality or performance but by luck. City might be in charge of the game but Inter may be fortunate to get a goal and defend it till the end. City has invested more than City and has never won the Champions League, it will not be bad if they win this one. But we have to wait until 10th June when both teams will battle at  Istanbul's Atatürk Olympic Stadium.

It is an interesting point which is found when people have to find reasons, support from history that can give them hope taht Inter Milan still have chance to beat Manchester City and become a new champion.

With their strength and forms in this season, Manchester City is considered to be a stronger team and will become a new champion. However, people discovered that strange thing from latest winners. It can be repeated but cna be stopped. Like before Real Madrid, no club successfully protect their title in many seasons. After all Real Madrid did it and not only one time, they did won 3 titles in three seasons.

This season can be a first season, no Croatian player in a champion squad.

In fact, I often see on social media Inter Milan supporters feel confident that they will win the UCL this season, even though their path was not as smooth as Manchester city, the meetings with Benfica and Milan were not really difficult opponents compared to Manchester City, which had to get rid of Munich as well as Madrid. As the defending champion, see how Manchester City eliminated both of them without mercy.

But I always smile to see the Inter Milan supporters for their faith, I'm afraid they will be disappointed after watching and seeing the final result which will surely be an embarrassment for the final. for some reason I feel confident that Manchester city will cut out the interns in the final.  

Actually fans of the two teams don't really need to hope that their team will win because they might feel disappointed when the team they support ultimately fails. This has been felt by Manchester City in the previous final against Chelsea where at that time I also could hardly believe Manchester City was defeated by Tuchel who actually only managed Chelsea in the middle of the season.

Inter fans, of course, hope that their team doesn't lose and the Champions League title is the title they want. But based on the odds, I think Inter only have a very small chance of winning the title compared to Manchester City who have so far proven capable of beating the strongest title challengers this season. So if anyone is going to be disappointed then I'm sure it will be Inter fans rather than Manchester City fans.

This season can be a first season, no Croatian player in a champion squad.

However, I want to talk about something else. Inter Milan can beat Manchester City and secure the Champions League title. It will be the best chapter in the history of this season. But Pep Guardiola will never want to miss an opportunity. Because if Manchester City wins this year's title, Pep Guardiola will become one of the greatest personalities with all the players.

People don't understand how hunting dogs act once they get a trail on their prey, there is no escape, and that is what Manchester City can and will do to inter Milan. Everyone is excited about the game, and Inter Milan fans will be calling themselves Victor when they don't know what Man City is capable of doing. the game is going to be bloody, I just can't wait for the out of the game next month, and the most exited are the manchester city fans.

It's true that no team has been able to stop Manchester City in the Champions League this season after they beat Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and semi-finals this season. Inter looks too easy if I compare their performances and those of Manchester City, but one never really knows what will happen in that match.

I can't wait for that match next month either, but it looks like Manchester City need to do some work in the FA Cup final. Inter have already won the Coppa Italia by beating Fiorentina 1-2, so I'm also waiting for the Manchester derby final on June 3rd.

After all the games that Manchester City has played this season, to me, the match between Manchester City and Inter is a straightforward one; there is nothing that could possibly confuse me. I think that if we compare these two teams with the way they played this season between Manchester City and Inter, the outcome will become clear because I think Manchester City won't face too many challenges before defeating Inter in the final stage.
 
Although we can't anticipate what will happen this time around, the game is straightforward to forecast but since Manchester defeated Real Madrid in the semifinal and Bayern Munich in the quarterfinal. As a result, I've noted that Manchester will be the team to win these trophy this season.

This time Manchester City will win the Champions league with Haaland,  Manchester City have been unable to win the Champions league, this is the time they have the right coach and players to win the Champions league. Manchester City having Inter in the finals is an easy way for them to win the Champions league.

[X-ray]

There have been many questions coming to the intermilan related to the what duet that will become starting line up for intermilan vs manchester city. So far there's no confirmation who will become the starting lineup. Not even simone inzaghi itself gave a clue about who will become starting lineup.

Im sure that haaland and KDB will be starting line up against city. Im still feeling curious about intermilan since simeone inzaghi was always changing its striker in any matches.
That makes the opponent feel so difficult to read what possible starting lineup that will be used by intermilan.

Can you guys predict what possible formation will be used by manchester city and intermilan?

I think that both will still use same formations like the previous match in semi final.

[Iroh]

Inter Milan has one big advantage over Manchester City and that is that they have Croatian player in their team.

I don't know if people know but last 10 Champions League winners all had at least 1 Croatian player in their team and it will be interesting to see if that tradition continues this year as well.

I don’t think there is any tradition to be found in that and if this would tell us anything, it’s that Croatia have got really good football players who then also happen to be in top tier clubs strong enough to win the Champions League trophy.
So I wouldn’t exactly say that point is an advantage not less a big one over Manchester City. Having one or two Croatians on your team won’t guarantee a win. It would surely be interesting to see how Inter Milan would try and secure a win against Manchester City.

[slapper]

It is very normal for Manchester City fans to see themselves as the team that is close to victory while preparing for this match. They beat Real Madrid 4-0, one of the favorite teams of the cup. They also won the Premier League title. As a result, Inter fans are more cautious than Manchester City fans in this tough final match.

Judging from the strength of the two clubs that will fight in the final, Manchester City is clearly the superior team. Manchester City managed to qualify for the final by beating Real Madrid 4-0 in the second leg after previously only being able to draw 1-1 at the Bernabeu (5-1 on aggregate).
Winning the UCL trophy has been Manchester City goal so far, after they previously failed in the 2020/21 season final, now Manchester City has a great opportunity to win the UCL trophy for the first time. This time Manchester City cannot make the slightest mistake like what happened in the 2020/21 final, they must play discipline by keeping Inter in their defensive area as they did when they beat Real Madrid.

Isn't it simply bewitching how the enchanting ballet of football never ceases to leave us in awe? Manchester City, in recent memory, has indisputably transfigured into a powerhouse. Their journey to the finals, specifically their astonishing triumph against the titans Real Madrid, has attested to their potential to lift the illustrious UCL trophy.

However, the inherent volatility of this beautiful game must not be undermined. On the surface, injuries to crucial components of the squad like Jack Grealish and Ruben Diaz may seem trivial but could be proverbial icebergs lurking under the waterline. Manchester City may have a well-stacked bench, yet the vital experience these players carry into nerve-wracking clashes is undeniable. Can Manchester City evade the pitfalls of yore and keep Inter Milan at arm's length as they masterfully did against Real Madrid?

[masulum]

I don’t think there is any tradition to be found in that and if this would tell us anything, it’s that Croatia have got really good football players who then also happen to be in top tier clubs strong enough to win the Champions League trophy.

Yup, traditions isn't the key to be champions, UCL title not because of Croatian players on team, but how the team will be on the match. So far Man City become favorite because they are have good strategy under Guardiola also have balance players. If Inter Milan able to win this match, I don't its because of Croatian players traditions, but Man. City already made a mistake, no more.

But we have to wait until 10th June when both teams will battle at  Istanbul's Atatürk Olympic Stadium.

Obviously it's just luck, normally it doesn't matter which nationality players are from as long as they are good, and some of the names there didn't even play, they were just in the roster but that's it. I think City will win easily, it is not going to end up with anything at all.

I believe that we are talking about a situation where it is going to end up with a boring game in the end, not boring as in boring to watch, it might be fun to watch, but boring in its story because the team that is so much more valuable will end up beating the underdog and that's not really something shocking, not much to talk about there. We all expect City to win and they will win this game without a doubt, they are clearly that much better than Inter.

Everyone is keeping Manchester City ahead in the Champions League final. And I think it's a natural reason Manchester City's performance is much higher than Inter Milan's. Where the likes of Real Madrid have been badly beaten by Manchester City, Inter Milan have the potential to do well.

[Distraction]

Manchester City are very close to win the Champions League for the first time ever in their history as you know. This is going to be a very special moment for the fans, players and Guardiola all. Only thing they need to do is to not underestimate Inter and that must be good enough to be the winner. I think they are aware of this already as they don't have any luxury of being complacent in this crucial point.

They couldn't do anything against this chance to slip through their fingers in the 2020/2021 season finale. But then there was a Chelsea with Tuchel which were already able to make big difficulties for Manchester City. They just repeated it thanks to Tuchel's reading his opponent very nicely. But as for this match I can't be so sure about Inzaghi to do the same. Because they don't have any official head-to-head history between - except friendlies.

Therefore it is going to be quite interesting to watch Inzaghi trying to develop a working strategy for them.
