UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

Looks like Lukaku was played at mid-time with the aim of providing sharper counterattacks in order to break through the enemy's defense.
But the enemy they will face is Manchester City so any kind of counter-attack will be difficult to break into Manchester City's goal.
The match that they will play is to fight for the title so that Manchester City will really give full strength to the defense position and the forward position for attack.

Interesting to see what you have to say, but I'm not sure. Manchester City has a weakness that Inter's forwards can actually exploit, you know what I mean? Yes, it's their defense that sometimes isn't swift on counter-attacks.

In some league matches, I found Manchester City struggled to handle with counter-attacks because the players tend to be in the central area. Through this scheme Manchester City have also conceded several goals. Not only that, Manchester City also still struggle with the pressure if the opponents really press well, that is their problem as far as I know.

That scenario could happen, but with the condition that the Inter players had to do it with a quick counterattack.

IMO, City's only weakness was seen in the match vs Madrid in the first leg.  let's review, there are 3 City players who won't be too forward to help in planning attacks. when Inter got the ball, or in terms of being able to cut the ball and counterattack. The first thing a city player will do is Rodry will try a low block to hold back and narrow the opponent's space.

Meanwhile, John Stones will run into the defense to form a 4-player formation in the defensive area. while the other two midfield players, will come down quickly to form a 4-4-2 pattern. that's why, pep Guardiola's formation with his 3-2-4-1 is ideal with his team.  

IMO, we can see City's weakness during the match vs Madrid in the first leg. when Camavinga dribbled the ball quickly, he looked for partners to channel, which in the end the ball was in Vini Jr's possession and dribbled into the middle. shot, a shot on target and a goal scored. if, Vini Jr moves him to the sidelines, the City players are already in his defensive area. the question is, can Inter players do it. Well, we'll see when the two teams meet.

Manchester City are the clear favourites for the final match. But I don't think it's that simple. The Milanese are very good this season.
I don't think Manchester City will get an easy win. Everyone is talking about the fact that the Citizens need to win and that could play a cruel joke on Guardiola's charges. Overconfidence never helps in matches like this.

I think the Milan side will be in the right frame of mind and won't lose at least in regulation time.

The two teams have different playing styles, but Manchester City tend to be more dominant. You can guess how Manchester City play, but you'd be hard-pressed to come up with any idea of ​​how Inter play apart from the defensive scheme. Inter is a good team to represent Serie A in the Champions League final but most people doubt it because Manchester City have been in such good form this season.

The real problem for inter will be the midfield of Man City. Haaland without the midfield is useless because he wont be able to get the ball. In all important matches lately Haaland is in the second plan. The key for Inter should be to close the midfield of Man City and maybe thats the way they can actually do something in this final.

Inter don't even know the real problem
this team, precisely Inter, has a lot of very strong players on paper
then he can't get them to play together or make the most of them, I don't understand
In any case, I support Manchester

Inter Milan hasn't been as passive in their last Champions League games as I thought they would be. The opponent wasn't Manchester City of course, but still they weren't just playing defense all the time. I can imagine that they will be more active in the game than would be expected. It doesn't have to be the typical 75:25 ball possession game by Manchester City. Inter Milan will need time to rest and recalibrate during the game and that is best done when they have the ball themselves. They will try to not leave the game to Manchester City for 90 minutes and instead have their own time windows when they try to keep the ball to themselves. But for the most part of the game it will be highly concentrated defense and a lot against the ball.

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.

Inzaghi was making this decission the whole season, and it has worked, so lets see, Lukaku against tired defenders can be much more decisive, the main them its , are gonna be tired the defenders if Inter doesnt attack?

If Inter doesn't attack, then of course Manchester City's defensive line will logically not be too tired, but in this way Manchester City will have many ways to create attacks. So yes, I think it doesn't matter whether Dzeko or Lukaku will be played first because after all, the most important thing is whether Inter can break Manchester City's dominance in the match later. Because, if Inter can't do a lot of attacks too, then Inter's forward players will at least help the defense a lot too right.

Whatever it is, I hope Inter knows that Manchester City is not going to be afraid of attacking a lot in this match. In fact, Manchester City is going to attack regardless of what the score is. So even if Inter somehow gets ahead in this match I don't believe there will be able to win the match by just defending and staying back. Because that is going to give Manchester City more chances to attack. Inter will have to take the attack on Manchester City.

I also believe that Inter will get a lot of Contra attacking chances because of Manchester United being aggressive in this match. Inter will have to convert those chances into goals. Otherwise interval probably not be able to win.

I don't think Inter will have a chance to beat City's dominance in midfield. The most reasonable solution is to play the bus with the hope of counterattacks. If you block all the zones before your own penalty area, then despite the overwhelming possession of the ball, City will have few chances - it worked with Barcelona (that Barcelona of the tiki-taka times) and can work with City. In open football, Inter has no chance.

I just can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow in this match,if Inter will come up with a strategy that can withstand Man city attacking force. We all know how man city plays,they will force you with their attacking tactics and weaken your defense so that they can breakthrough and before you know it,the ball is in the net. On the other hand Inter loves defensive football and has one of the strongest defense,they love counter attacks,which is one of their common tactics that they use to use matches. Pep is a coach that knows what to do at the right time and I believe that his club has high advantage of winning the league tomorrow because he gamble with the last and biggest trophy to achieve his treble vision

I agree with you, normally Inter has no chance of winning this match. Maybe if the luck is on their side and their opponent makes a mistake, they can score a goal. Scoring goals with counterattack will be one of the best options for them.
At the end of the match, I think Manchester City will win. It will be a pleasant final match, I hope we will watch many goals

I think one of the things that will make a difference in tomorrow's match from the pattern of play of the two is the tactic that will be applied by the coach where this will affect them in balancing the strengths of their opponents. Apart from that, I think the game of these two teams will be quite solid in this final game. I don't think Inter Milan will play defensively because it can make it difficult for them to balance the pattern of play.

I predict Manchester City will be the winner in tomorrow's match or rather they will achieve their dream of getting the UCL trophy for the first time. Inter Milan will find it difficult to stem the attacks that will be carried out by Manchester City players in the match later.

Everyone is putting inter Milan in the shadows, since everyone knows Manchester City has the quality and strength to win and for a very long time now Manchester City has been wanting to win the Champions league, and is not going to be an easy bone for Manchester City to chew but Manchester City always finds its way out no matter how tight the situation is and am sure Inter Milan will put a very beautiful effort in tomorrow's game, and Guardiola always surprise everyone the man is full of strategies and that is why Manchester City fans are always  confident, we all hope for good game tomorrow.

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

in a nutshell Inzaghi, the Inter coach, in my opinion is playing all his cards
right or wrong, I do not judge, but there is nothing left for him to do
let's remember that we are at the end of the season, after this game there will be nothing left

[Uruhara]

Inzaghi was making this decission the whole season, and it has worked, so lets see, Lukaku against tired defenders can be much more decisive, the main them its , are gonna be tired the defenders if Inter doesnt attack?

In essence, Inzaghi trusted Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko in the early rounds. And Lukaku will be watching from the bench for a while and will probably start in the second half. Edin Dzeko is a former Man City striker. so he might have more experience to handle the game that Man City played in that match.

and what's more interesting is that it looks like Inzaghi will still apply his usual formation, namely 3-5-2. which is always quite effective for inter milan. because by piling up more players in the middle it is hoped that it can make the players able to help the attack line and also the back line so that they remain optimal and balanced.

It makes perfect sense why many people think Manchester City will win the title this season for the Champions League, and I'll admit it. Manchester City have proven they are in the right balance in mentality and form to win their first Champions League this season, and you may have followed their incredible run from the group stage to now. Pep Guardiola is very serious about titles, but in any case there is no guarantee he can win them just like that.

The final is in 22 hours, the probability haven't changed much and I think Inter have realized that. A great and thrilling match is what I hope for the final, so this should be the ideal Champions League final to look forward to.

Inter Milan are okay being the same expected to defend. Almost all through this competition they have been in games where they have not been expected to win but they always find a way to win it because of how they play. Inter Milan can surprise everyone and give Manchester City another heartbreak of not winning the champions league again. Anyone in Inter Milan apart from the three strikers they have can score and is a potential threat. I hope that no Inter Milan player will sustain any injury in training that will force the coach to change the plans he already has in mind before the game kicks off.

Leaving all the "football" aside, this is going to be the second big game that I am going to watch with friends this year and I sure do hope that it happens as entertaining as the last time. We watched world cup finals with a group of friends, I can't name 5 times all that many of us got together, even our wives were there and we had so much fun, I feel like its not going to be that easy, its going to end up a bit less people this time around. Chips, beer, popcorn, candies, a decent meal, and the UCL FINALS! Yeah its betting and yes this is a place to talk about who to bet, I am sure majority of the world will bet on City, and a few Inter so that if in case unexpected happens they win bigger, but the fun part is what I am looking for a lot.

Football is best watched with friends and that is why once in a while we hang out with good friends on match days, and also make sure to watch the best games live to get the vibes of the games instead of watching a repeat or being told the story of how the match went. Manchester City is going in all with against a perceived tough opponent and if care is not taken so many tickets if going to be affected greatly due to overconfidence in the ability of a particular club against the other and this will lead to many losses for gamblers in this game tomorrow.

Romelu Lukaku has been a big threat coming from the bench for Inter Milan this season. And like you rightly said, he's always been introduced when opposition defenders are getting tired during the second half.
However, Manchester City is one club that plays possession football thereby reducing the possibilities of fatigue among their players. So with or without Lukaku, Manchester City can stop best Inter Milan

Regarding the press, I can say Manchester City is not the only team they are under pressure when a team starts to press them, but from what I can see in the games they had, they never had any problem even when they were playing against teams like Arsenal.
This can be a good reason to say even Inter Mina with Lukaku in a good situation can't do anything against Manchester City when they are in good form.

[nurilham]

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.

Nothing wrong to put Dzeko as the starter, Lukaku can have time to analyze Man City players' movement, especially the defenders. So, when Lukaku replaces Dzeko in 2nd half, he knows what to do after he analyzes the weaknesses of Man City defenders. I think it is a good tactic to let Dzeko plays first, while keeping Lukaku to play in 2nd half.

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.

No, Inter will use 2 strikers. Dzeko will play with L. Martinez. So, it is untrue that Dzeko probably plays alone striker. L. Martinez seems to play full-time, Inter Milan needs this striker to break Man City defense.

Whether Inter Milan or Manchester City, any team that fails to attack and not put pressure on their opponent are given them more time to be able to grasp and use different terminology to break into their defence. We expect to see an intense game tomorrow since it’s the champions league finals. Manchester City are known for counter attacking when they see the chance, Inter Milan’s defence have to be careful and hold grip of their defence to avoid Manchester City’s attackers to keep penetrating them, in that way, we’ll have a more interesting match to watch. Inter attackers are also good and I expect them to also attack when they see any chance at that.
