UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[Huppercase]

I think Inter Milan is going to try disabling Haaland for this match because they are aware of his powers and if they don't put Haaland under pressure one opportunity can be enough for him to change the game.

Yes, you’re right. Obviously, they would want to try and guard tightly Haaland who is known and good at suddenly opening up to receive passes/crosses and being able to finish off beautifully. Inter Milan knows he’s a danger man and would try to keep him closely marked at all times.
But I doubt that would make any difference in the game as Manchester City doesn’t depend wholly on the abilities of Haaland as there are other players who, when with the ball are equally dangerous and capable of scoring goals as well. Inter Milan do need to be prepared to face a tough competition.

Most of the assists made by many players this season have gone to Haaland, and by using a simple attacking strategy, Inter will want to make Haaland their focus, but knowing Manchester City, they are always ahead of every team in every match, and I believe they will use that to confuse Inter's players. The fact is, Manchester City don't just have powerful forwards; their defence is also great. This is Inter's difficulty; they will have to play both offensive and defensive games if they want to win this match; Inter will have to put in double effort to win this match.

Keeping Haaland tight will not be enough to silence the Man City attack. Because Man City's forward players actually have almost even skills, that is, they can always endanger the opponent's defense. Even if Inter Milan focuses too much on Haaland, Inter Milan's fate could be the same as what happened to Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

In fact, I was quite surprised by I. Gundogan's skills, who managed to score 2 goals in the final against Manchester United. In several previous matches, it was De Bruyne and B.Silva who always managed to score goals when Haaland was closely guarded. and in the FA Cup Final match against Man United we saw Man United's defense being very careful about Haaland, Bruyne and Silva. but they let their guard down a bit with Gundogan. So that Gundogan could score 2 goals in that match and make Man City win the FA Cup Trophy.

From this incident, I think Pep Guardiola really has a layered strategy that is difficult to predict. And somehow the Man City players are always dependable and rarely make mistakes. I don't know what type of training can make Man City players make very few mistakes on the pitch. one word for them is Amazing.

If the Inter Milan defense keeps their focus mainly on Haaland, then I think they would be making a big mistake. They might focus mainly on Haaland and forget other players are equally as dangerous. Manchester City has capable midfielders that could also score goals. Haaland is instrumental in scoring goals as he finishes beautifully but i believe Manchester City could always do without him.
Gundogan and De Bruyne, as well as Grealish are players in my opinion to also watch out for that could cause some problems for Inter Milan.

[Velvet78]

Agreed about focusing only on Haaland would be a wrong action. Real Madrid tried to do this but they weren't able to prevent Manchester City from scoring a lot of goals in the second leg anyway. Even in times Haaland got nice goal opportunities he also wasted them. But Manchester City have created such a strong team play that they can still destroy their opponents without Haaland's help.

But here in this finale I still expect Haaland to be much more effective. This is a very special game for him as well because of its being his first ever Champions League finale. Considering all of these things Inter's job will be very difficult here. They need to focus on extending the game to extra time or even penalty shootouts to increase their chance.

[Davian144]

Yes it looks after their opponents are not much better than them. We know what Manchester City are capable of in these years, they are very good and in fact they are always improving every season. moreover their squad now looks evenly matched after they were able to get a very good striker, after previously they always played with false nines.

Even though their opponents are not much better than them (Manchester City), in the case of this final match Manchester City must also try to perform as well as possible and must also be able to close the gaps for their opponents so that no attacks can harm Manchester City. Because Inter Milan will also try to perform well in the final, moreover Inter Milan is also very aware that he is no better than the opponents they will face in tomorrow's final.

Yeah, lately everyone is saying that Haaland will destroy a team with his ambition to score goals. But I will focus more on the other two Manchester City players. The first is Bernardo Silva. We know his role is a creative midfielder, but unexpectedly he is capable of doing other things, such as being a shadow striker or a hole player. When he manages to score a goal there will be a very extraordinary game change for Manchester city.

The second is Ilkay Gundogan, we know lately when Haaland is having a hard time scoring goals, that's where Gundogan will become the Master Clutch for Manchester City and as a midfielder he is able to be the winner for Manchester City through his goals in the last few matches.

[Litzki1990]

I think Inter Milan is going to try disabling Haaland for this match because they are aware of his powers and if they don't put Haaland under pressure one opportunity can be enough for him to change the game.

The final pits Manchester City against Inter Milan. The days and hours are ticking away till we find out who wins the UCL this season, a very rough season it is. Both clubs have what it takes to be crowned champions, only one club will emerged. City's forward, Erling Haaland, is a proactive player who knows exactly where to position himself for goals, consequently the Nerazzurri's priorities would be to restrain the Norway international and the engine room, Kelvin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva. Pep Guardiola has been here before, and losing again would be his primary dreaded in his coaching career.

Kevin De Bruyne will make the most impact for Manchester City in the match between Manchester City and Inter Milan. The Belgian star can make the difference at any time in the final match. Erling Haaland is good at scoring goals but Kevin De Bruyne is equally good at scoring and creating goals, his short shots from outside the D box towards the goal post are a terror for opposition goalkeepers. Every time Inter Milan take corners and fouls, Inter Milan will put themselves in danger because corner kicks and free kicks will be taken by Kevin De Bruyne and his free kicks and corner kicks will hopefully not lead to good results for Inter Milan. Of course, Inter Milan will have to plan separately for Kevin De Bruyne.

Haaland does not perform well in big games, he is not a problem in this game. he can not come down to tate balll and score, all he does is to wait for the midfielders to pass it over to him. He's just good top nine nothing else, he can't determine a game, like Kevin De Bruyne, he is the most dangerous player on Manchester city side. if Inter Milan can stop him from passing and shoting they will win the game.

Inter Milan focus should be on kevin De Bruyne than any one else,

I think Manchester City's other opponents were also well aware of Haaland. Leipzig, Bayern, Real Madrid could do nothing against Manchester City. I don't think Inter can find the right key. After all, you not only have to stop the attack but also try to break down the defence to try and score a goal. We have to admit that Manchester City are unbeaten this season.

[hyudien]

Because Inter Milan will also try to perform well in the final, moreover Inter Milan is also very aware that he is no better than the opponents they will face in tomorrow's final.

Inter as much as possible should be able to take advantage of the gaps that can indeed be found, if Inter are able to steal the first point it will be much better for their game. Because in terms of attack effectiveness, Man City has many ways to overcome control from their opponents. Because this is a one-time event, especially in the final, anything can happen, we can't deny that. Even though Man City is closer on paper, but once again Inter are expecting a miracle in this fight. Therefore it depends on whether the coach is able or not to raise the enthusiasm of his players when facing the pressure of the opponent.

Kevin De Bruyne will make the most impact for Manchester City in the match between Manchester City and Inter Milan. The Belgian star can make the difference at any time in the final match. Erling Haaland is good at scoring goals but Kevin De Bruyne is equally good at scoring and creating goals, his short shots from outside the D box towards the goal post are a terror for opposition goalkeepers.

In every match played by Man City, the role of attack cannot be separated from Kevin De Bruyne who is able to move freely in the opponent's defense and is able to measure the extent of the opponent's strength. Kevin De Bruyne has skills other players don't have when it comes to implementing strategies from Pep Guardiola. He is able to be in front freely adjusting the direction of the ball and has quite a deadly shot accuracy. But apart from Kevin De Bruyne, there is also Gundogan whose individual ability to play the ball will be enough of a problem for Inter defense. Meanwhile, Haaland can play himself as an assist or executor in receiving the ball in the penalty box.

No one is in doubt that Manchester city are clear favorite in securing the title and their team is obviously more balance and stronger than inter Milan but a fact still remains that its a game of football and everything and anything is possible so I would do what most gamblers don't do which is not to totally write out this inter Milan team and their capability.

[JeffBrad12]

Being dependent on Haaland is not that bad for City, they have him so them trying to get him to score is not really that bad of a thing, it does help them a lot. They are a much better team this season compared to last because they made some amazing changes on the roster, and adding Haaland was one of those amazing ones, the biggest one. He scored so many goals but after a while every team realized that they relied on him so much that they started to defend him tightly, mark him all game long with their defenders, but this time around it made other players better.

So far, haaland is top scorers that is owned by city in EPL and UCL. I can't deny that if he was very important for manchester city but the team has learned to block his movement. That's why he was rarely making goal. Manchester city was not fully dependent on haaland.
Manchester city is also having so many good players that have capability to scoring the goals against intermilan. Intermilan will not let haaland to increase his goal in the final of UCL.
The key that owned by intermilan is about how to block the ball from midfielders to the haaland. It's really working to kill his movement.

Let's remember that this is the same team that won the league so many times now and was at finals a one season ago, and semi finalist last season and finalist again this year. So just marking Haaland will not be enough, letting him be won't be good neither.

haaland and midfielders must be marked. I meant some key players like KDB, bernardo and any players that can supply the ball to the haaland must be blocked.
It may help intermilan to kill the attacking lines from manchester city.

I also think it's pretty obvious that City is favorite in this match but Inter is a really good team with good chemistry which sometimes can be deciding factor in games like this. I give 60%-40% for City but still 40% is a lot.

[coinlocket$]

According to some speculation, Inter will play Dzeko over Lukaku at the start.

Not sure if it is the correct choice, for sure he has more experience.

[Iroh]

Kevin De Bruyne will make the most impact for Manchester City in the match between Manchester City and Inter Milan. The Belgian star can make the difference at any time in the final match. Erling Haaland is good at scoring goals but Kevin De Bruyne is equally good at scoring and creating goals, his short shots from outside the D box towards the goal post are a terror for opposition goalkeepers.

Of course, Inter Milan will have to plan separately for Kevin De Bruyne.

Yeah, Kevin De Bruyne would be very instrumental(as usual) and would probably contribute a great deal to the success of Manchester City against Inter Milan. I like watching him on the field of play, giving accurate passes and dangerous through balls that leads to good attempts at scoring goals. If he's not creating a chance that would lead to a goal, he's scoring one himself. Inter Milan would definitely have to be weary of him and they probably know this. So I guess while trying to block Haaland from trying to score, they would have to try and stop De Bruyne from making any dangerous moves.

Haaland is a superb striker and finisher, no doubt and he should be tightly marked. But I think De Bruyne is the one they would to need to stop from making moves that would break through the midfield and into the opponents half, scoring goals in most cases.

[shinratensei_]

According to some speculation, Inter will play Dzeko over Lukaku at the start.

Not sure if it is the correct choice, for sure he has more experience.

Dzeko has more experience but he is far older compared with lukaku. That depends on what kind of strategy that will be used by simeone. If the club will be focusing to the counter attack strategy and im thinking if lukaku is far more reliable compared with dzeko.

Dzeko may become stand alone striker. Lukaku will give more benefits for intermilan caused by he was able helping its team by taking multiple role.

Lukaku has speed and great physic like haaland or even better. I prefer to take lukaku since the first half rather than dzeko.

[Altryist]

But apart from Kevin De Bruyne, there is also Gundogan whose individual ability to play the ball will be enough of a problem for Inter defense. Meanwhile, Haaland can play himself as an assist or executor in receiving the ball in the penalty box.

The advantage of the Guardiola is that he has many players who can decide the outcome of the match, real leaders who are not afraid of responsibility. Yes, in recent matches Gundogan shows excellent results, and De Bruyne always greatly enhances the middle lane and also the attack. It seems that Haaland is still young, and it all depends on how well he begin plays in the match, a lot depends on his mood, but of course he is also a very talented striker and tomorrow he will want to score a goal.

[Pandu Geddon]

Dzeko has more experience but he is far older compared with lukaku. That depends on what kind of strategy that will be used by simeone. If the club will be focusing to the counter attack strategy and im thinking if lukaku is far more reliable compared with dzeko.

Dzeko may become stand alone striker. Lukaku will give more benefits for intermilan caused by he was able helping its team by taking multiple role.

Lukaku has speed and great physic like haaland or even better. I prefer to take lukaku since the first half rather than dzeko.

Lukaku would be better to put upfront. he can fight with his physical strength to fight against the opponent's defense. moreover, Man City has a game character that will carry out fast attacks. and there will be a loose line of defense, Lukaku can get chances with his pace.
if you want to play both at the same time, maybe it's a gamble for Inter. it would be better for Dzeko to be a substitute to anticipate a situation that might be difficult for Inter with pressure from Man City.

[rahmad2nd]

Even if Inter Milan focuses too much on Haaland, Inter Milan's fate could be the same as what happened to Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Manchester City has capable midfielders that could also score goals. Haaland is instrumental in scoring goals as he finishes beautifully but i believe Manchester City could always do without him.
Gundogan and De Bruyne, as well as Grealish are players in my opinion to also watch out for that could cause some problems for Inter Milan.

Well, on this side how the system speaks. the point is, how will Inzaghi implement the system for the defenders. it could be, Inzaghi instructed man to man marking by placing 5 players on the defensive line. because it seems, this system is the most ideal. how come, yep, this pattern is quite in harmony with Inzgahi's 3-5-2 system. that is, 3 defenders will stay in their positions, 2 midfielders will go down to become defenders. The other 3 players will try to low block, leaving 2 forwards. or, 1 player comes down to help the midfield. which in the end, their defensive pattern with 5-3-2. or, can be combined depending on needs. after all, this formation is strong enough to withstand the 3-2-4-1 pattern.

Well, here we will see how the Inter players play disciplinedly, especially their defensive line players. in theory, Inzaghi has a systematic defense. however, the problem is that their opponent is City. if the scenario is as i said, there is 5 vs 5 players facing each other. So, the key is in their line of defense. if the Inter players can cut the ball in midfield or something, they can counterattack quickly. the pattern can change to 4-3-3, or so on depending on Inzgahi's strategy. so, it's not just Haaland who they will mark strictly. for sure, every City player has the potential to score goals. depending on what opportunities they have. and this will be a tough job for Inzgahi in the final match later.

After all, you not only have to stop the attack but also try to break down the defence to try and score a goal. We have to admit that Manchester City are unbeaten this season.

I'm really expecting a great Champions League final this season even if Manchester City are favourites. Inter shouldn't be underestimated in the final because maybe they will go all out to win the match. Manchester City are also aware that Inter have strength when it comes to building attacks, so I think Pep Guardiola will know very well what they have to work on in that match.

There are several Inter players that Manchester City should aware for in the final because in my opinion they are very dangerous for the Manchester City defense. Some of them are; Edin Dzeko, Nicolò Barella, Lautaro Martínez and Romelu Lukaku. They are quality players who might pose a threat to Manchester City's defense in the final.
