It’s a poster that has style. A little over a year ago, Manchester City had all the trouble in the world to tame Inter Milan in the final of Champions League (1-0), to win the first cup with the big ears in its history. Guardiola’s gang and the Lombard club find themselves in this phase of the league in the new format of the competition.
One thing is certain: Guardiola has not forgotten anything. And the course of this final is even a lever to alert his troops. “I told you at the time how strong the Nerazzurri were, now you believe me – began Pep Guardiola in the usual conference the day before. I saw the final again for the first time: it was very hard-fought. I remember it was a very tight match with them having two very clear chances. We only had one with Foden after Rodri’s goal. We could have won like them. Now it won’t be a final, but Inter are even stronger. In Italy, last season, they were truly exceptional.”
The expected compositions
Manchester City : Ederson – Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol – Doku, Rodri, Kovacic, Savinho – Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne – Haaland.
Inter Milan: Sommer – Bastoni, Acerbi, Pavard – Dimarco, Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, Barella, Darmian – Thuram, L. Martinez.
