UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Ahli38]

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?

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but if Inter Milan did win the Champions League title this season. So what you say seems to be a coincidence that is repeated and that is an extraordinary thing.

Somehow, but now it seems that many are starting to favor Inter Milan. I personally still favor Manchester city. Because yeah, as everyone knows, Manchester City have some amazing players in their team right now. if in previous seasons Manchester City was considered to lack players hungry for goals on the front lines. But this season Manchester City have had an extraordinary forward. So that all lines within the Manchester City club are currently in maximum performance. So I don't know how Inter Milan will do to beat Manchester City. But I also don't underestimate Inter Milan, who are currently playing very well in Serie A and have also won 2 trophies in 2 other local league competitions (Coppa Italia & Supercoppa italiana).

[hahay]

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.

Yes, of course, Pep Guardiola should have realized not to repeat the same mistakes as when Manchester City played against Chelsea in the Champions League final season 20/21. So, at this moment Manchester City still has to play with maximum effort, and don't occasionally reduce the intensity of attacks. Because if Manchester City lowers the intensity of the attack, of course it will allow Inter to create an effort to make a dangerous attack on the Manchester City defense line.

But, if for example Manchester City can win 2-0 in the first half, then that will make Manchester City sure to win until the match is over. But yes, if Inter can hold Manchester City to a draw in the first half, then it looks like Manchester City might also be under pressure which might split their focus.

[terrorJR]

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 .

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.

As I said earlier this is a coincidence and indeed too often in that case but it's not a mistake of coincidence but indeed we see other conditions that in this case Croatian players are really good because they are at a club that always wins there.
But then again the possibility of that now being broken by Manchester City and even if it's not certain but my hope is that with the probabilities now it's very good for them.

[Gosgosking]

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?

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.

Manchester city has more quality players than Inter, Manchester still has a better coach, with this they are good to go. Inter are very much aware of the kind of team they will be facing, so I know inter will be very difficult for Manchester city to beat, but Manchester City will still be the winner.

Pep Guardiola is aware of what the worst potential they will face in the final against Inter. So far Pep Guardiola will probably try to find the right strategy to present Manchester City's first Champions League title after the bitter memories of the 2021 final. I'm sure there are a number of things that Manchester City needs to watch out for, including the difficulty of penetrating Inter's defense when building attacks, but Manchester City's dominance in a game the odds will favor them in creating chances.

I believe Pep Guardiola is very confident for his team this season, but everything has to be very well prepared including not to underestimate Inter and not to make any technical mistakes during the match. Haaland is a key player, but De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Gundogan are the differentiators who are likely to change a lot of potential for Manchester City's win.

Coincidence and luck occur quite often in soccer matches. So getting a theory like this is also not wrong. But apart from all that, Inter Milan currently has the potential to surprise us in the final. Even if they are not superior. but Inter Milan's current spearheads, namely Lukaku and Martinez, can really make Inter Milan's attack line endanger Man City. Inter Milan's goal productivity is currently increasing rapidly. Which means Inter Milan can also not use a defensive strategy and in fact they can also use the same strategy as Man City which always uses an offensive strategy.

But yes, if Inter can hold Manchester City to a draw in the first half, then it looks like Manchester City might also be under pressure which might split their focus.

I'm pretty sure, Pep Guardiola has understood that with some of his experience. So far, City has rarely reduced the intensity of its attacks in almost every game. even though several players were pulled out, Pep still instructed his players to continue to appear aggressive. in fact, we can take an example from the match against Madrid in the second leg. City did not relax their attacks, even though they had excelled. and when Pep withdrew some of his players. the intensity of the attacks remained incessant. well, it is likely that City will do the same thing in the final match later. they will dominate the game and have more control over ball possession. or, it could just be that Pep has a plan to let Inter take the offensive at the start. but apparently, this scenario is not going to happen.

Well, the problem for Inter is. how to prevent City players from having the ball in midfield. this job, it's not easy with the material City players are very good.
IMO, the advantage of Pep Guardiola's foster children is the midfield. if, City was able to excel first in the early minutes of the first half. then, City is increasingly likely to score another goal. but if, Inter were able to hold City at least in the first half. then the course of the game, it looks like it will run dramatically. yes, as you said.

Manchester City do not need to underrate Inter Milan, neither do they need to over rate them. They don't even need to consider them for anything. What Manchester City need to do is to be determined and replicate what they did against Real Madrid in the second leg of the semifinals. If Manchester City can play up to 60% of what they gave against Real Madrid, Inter will be demolished even in the 1st half. Inter Milan cannot withstand Kevin, Haaland and the rest of them for 90 minutes without comceding , it is just impossible. I mean, there's nothing inter can do about this, they will not win the Champions League.

It seems like you have a strong belief in Manchester City's capabilities and their chances against Inter Milan!!! Inter Milan is a historically successful club with a strong roster of talented players. They have their own strengths and strategies that they will bring to the match. Football is a dynamic sport, and any team has the potential to perform well and achieve victory on a given day. it’s always exciting to see top teams compete in the UEFA Champions League, and the outcome of the matches can often surprise us.

[Falconer]

Inter Milan will have a difficult time deciding on a tactic to utilize against Manchester City. Manchester City, like every other team we know, has many strategies and will only use those that will benefit them throughout the game. Let Inter Milan not spend too much time looking for Man City's flaws, but instead use their own tactics to get an advantage over them in the first few minutes of the game.

The only weakness of Pep Guardiola's strategy is to play total defense and counterattack. This scenario may be implemented by Inter in their strategy in the final, but the level of success can always be doubted considering Manchester City's performance. So far Manchester City have waited quite a while to win their first Champions League title, so I think they have more determination this season to get there than Inter.

We can differentiate the strength of teams based on squad depth and also their performance so far. Inter tend to be unstable, but they also have a good squad, but Manchester City looks more ready to complete its mission this season. Just a few days from now Manchester City have an FA Cup final against Manchester United. So they will probably focus 100% there first before going to the Champions League final.

[AakZaki]

I was thinking because of the many superstar players  PSG have, they are going to win the champions league this season and I was thinking even Real Madrid can't stand against this team. However, I think even PSG was aiming to win the champions league because buying these expensive players just for the French League couldn't be a wise move. I think PSG should start seeking a new manager for the next season if they want to achieve something in the Champions League also they need to have a more balanced team.

They don't have a winning mentality. PSG is a rich club formed on money. Not based on the mental strength of champions and hard work. They are formed from money, and I don't see the players not being able to play wholeheartedly for the team. If they want to win they have to change the way they form the team next season. In addition, the quality of the League may still be below the standards of other leagues.

[Leviathan.007]

Not going to say this can be a safe bet, but we all know Manchester City got a much better situation and they could beat the strong teams Inter Milan could never even imagine to beat them, however betting on Inter Milan is worth taking the risk and this risk can grant goo reward because according to some sources I can see betting on Inter Milan can grant much more reward and since this team in unstable and unpredictable, I think it worth to bet on Inter Milan and take the risk.

[bbigtart]

Manchester city has more quality players than Inter, Manchester still has a better coach, with this they are good to go. Inter are very much aware of the kind of team they will be facing, so I know inter will be very difficult for Manchester city to beat, but Manchester City will still be the winner.

Indeed, in terms of the quality of Man City's players, they are superior in any way. so if Inter loses it's natural, if Man city loses it can be true that Man City's curse in the UCL is still going on.

In the midst of the frenzy of the EPL and La Liga clubs and the onslaught of money from Arab investors, Inter has given its own color to the UCL league this season, entering the final has exceeded the expectations of the Inter Milan club, even from the start only Lukaku was optimistic until the final, this was conveyed by himself club president Inter Milan.

What makes all football lovers eagerly await this season's final is that in 2005 the Istanbul final brought together the Reds between Liverpool vs Ac Milan. Now in Istanbul, the Blue is bringing together Manchester City vs Inter Milan. This is very interesting

Actually, all of us thinking that this is certainly going to be a win for Manchester City. But I would say Manchester City should not underestimate Inter in the finals. Of course, there is a reason why they are in the finals. Manchester City should take Inter very seriously. Just because Manchester City was able to beat Real Madrid quite easily doesn't mean that they have already become the winner of the Champions League. Two matches that are currently bearing the utmost importance for Manchester City are the two finals that are left. Manchester City should not also get ahead of themselves and take one match at a time. First, they should prepare for the match against Manchester United and after that, they should concentrate on the Champions League final.

Manchester City vs Inter this season will be very different from Liverpool vs Milan in 2005. This season Manchester City really proved to the world that they are the favorites in the Champions League from the group stage to the final, but Inter also have optimism about the title.

I don't think it's easy for Manchester City to beat Inter, but maybe in terms of the aggressiveness of the game, Manchester City are much better than Serie A teams. I want Manchester City to win their first title in the Champions League and they don't have to be the unluckiest team in this European competition. The hope is that Manchester City will win, but I don't think they should underestimate Inter who have also reached the last stages of this great competition.

I too have a lot of belief and faith in Manchester City and in their capabilities but I wouldn’t advise City to underrate or underestimate their opponents, Inter Milan. Inter Milan has fought hard too and defeated other teams that are equally competitive and strong. Manchester City very well needs to consider their opponents.
But I think you’ve got a point also. If Manchester City could replicate the way and tactics which they had used when playing Real Madrid in the second leg, then I think  Manchester City could most likely score a goal or two in the first half and go ahead to win the game. But they should never underestimate their opponents.

[Docnaster]

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.

Inter Milan of a truth has better record in the UEFA Champions League history than Manchester City does and I think their better experience in the competition will somehow have an effect on the game.
However Manchester City's current squad is very lethal and almost unplayable when they're playing in their full strength and that is why they've been backed by not just many football fans but also bookmakers to conquer Inter Milan and win a trophy that's eluded them since the formation of the club.

I sold my bet and re-stake double chance for Manchester City, the way Inter won their last two matches made me rethink that this match may end as a draw in a regular minute and we may see the extra minute and the penalty, reminded me of how the World Cup ended and I think the double chance of a win or draw will be okay for my satisfaction, Manchester City is still my favorite to win this match but there things we need to reconsider about Inter and how Manchester City will win this match, I have included the risk of that draw for regular time and also add a bet for them to lift the Champions League as a separate bet to manage my risk.

[Stable090]

Manchester city has more quality players than Inter, Manchester still has a better coach, with this they are good to go. Inter are very much aware of the kind of team they will be facing, so I know inter will be very difficult for Manchester city to beat, but Manchester City will still be the winner.

I have been seeing different predictions on the forum here and almost all is in support of Manchester city winning inter Milan, every one have been doing their analysis base on the two club’s players, how expired their players are, the two club’s achievements, and how experienced the two clubs coach are, if we are going by all this, we know that Manchester city is better than inter Milan, but don’t we just think about it that inter Milan might just have the opportunity of scoring 1 goal and they will try their possible best to defend d one goal and they will be the winner of the league. Actually it’s just an assumption, I also believe Manchester City will win.

Pep guardiola himself admitted that to score two , three or four goals against italian teams it's a tough one. He knew and aware that inter milan would play defensive and try to counter every manchester city attack and whenever they successfully steal a goal , it's almost a sure thing pep teams going frustrating.

And guess what? Inter lift the trophy while manchester city crying in the corner for the second time in ucl final, that's the scenario that a lot of people might forgot.
