The big moment has arrived, Manchester City and Inter are one breath away from winning the biggest trophy of the old continent. Istanbul host the two rivals and only one of the two is celebrating winning the Champions League on Saturday night, with the Citizens very close to winning the treble and the Milanese looking to go top after 2010.
Manchester City
After winning the FA Cup last Saturday, Manchester City want to continue the season with the best and celebrate winning the Champions League and at the same time the first treble in the history of the club. The Citizens are the big favorite and they want to prove it. In terms of the team's competitive issues, there are no competitive problems although the final is likely to be Gundogan's last match, as all reports indicate that he will continue his career in Barcelona.
Inter
The fourth trophy in its history in the institution will be claimed by Inter, the last one dating back to 2010. The Nerazzurri are the underdogs of the match, however, in a final anything is possible. In competitive matters, the onus has fallen on intercepting Erling Haaland and adjusting the defense to him. Mkhitaryan remains doubtful for the starting line-up, as he has been training for the past week, while Correa is out.
