Manchester City vs Inter: match preview

Manchester City face Inter in a tie that’s being dubbed the most mismatched Champions League final of all time. That said, nobody gave the Nerazzurri a hope in hell when they clashed with one of Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering machines en route to their most recent UCL title, and we all remember how that one turned out.

Such are Man City’s resources that they’ve been overwhelming favourites every time they've set foot on a pitch this season – yet they’ve finished on the losing side seven times. It goes to show that anything can happen in a one-off game, and Inter can take further encouragement from Guardiola’s tendency to over-complicate matters in this competition.

Over the course of his seven-year Manchester City tenure, he's found new and increasingly inventive methods of failing to secure the one trophy he was hired to win. All other titles have come easily enough, but the Champions League trophy, the only trophy that the Abu Dhabi United Group has ever cared about, has always managed to slip away.

Signing Erling Haaland was the equivalent of throwing the kitchen sink at it, and anybody who's watched the Norwegian in action would struggle to fault the logic. But it's not Haaland or Kevin de Bruyne, but Ilkay Gundogan who's been winning games for City in recent weeks. Firing them to the UCL title in his final game would be a fitting send-off for their unsung captain.

City owner Sheikh Mansour is at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium to watch his team play for just the second time since he took over the club in 2008. Such are the riches available to Guardiola that Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez are also watching from the sidelines. That means Haaland is the lone man up front, and he'll be supported by an all-star cast of de Bruyne, Gundogan, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva.

It's lost on nobody that one of Inter's most important players, Edin Dzeko, was deemed surplus to requirements at Man City eight years ago, but the 37-year-old marksman still has that knack in the box. He won't be able to occupy the entire City backline on his own though, so the in-form Lautaro Martinez is going to have to hound and harry and press and suffer for the cause.

That, of course, means the Romelu Lukaku is on the bench, and what a player to bring on when legs are tiring. The performances of wing-backs Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco will be vital to Inter's chances, with the duo expected to be at the forefront of every attack without abandoning their defensive duties.

Five clean sheets from six knockout matches show that Simone Inzaghi has drilled this team extremely well, and if the three-man midfield anchored by Nicolo Barella can snap at Rodri's heels and force him off his stride, gaps will emerge.
