Pep’s face if Inter beat them by pinging fifty yard passes onto Dzeko’s head will be a sight to see. They seem more confident at the back these days but (same as Liverpool) if you’ve got the players to get behind the full backs they can leave themselves very exposed. Problem is you probably need the bodies to keep their frontline out. Feels quite symbolic that they’ll have beaten Bayern, Madrid and Inter if they win it. All proper old guard big European clubs finally giving in to the nouveau riche Yeah, but can they beat 115 financial charges still pending against them. EDIT Start a new page on a downer

Martinez is a quality player, Dzeko still has it. The defence is very solid. They will probably attack down Dumfries side as he likes to attack. Their main man is Calhanoglu who has to be on form for them to click.

More bollocks. Conte was still manager then. Just wasn’t on the touch line but he still coached and strategised that win.

So the trick to beating Pep is to be Italian?

Counter-point. Spurs repeatedly get results against City by sitting back and countering. We literally never take the game to them. Forest managed it at home - we had lady luck on our side, but stuck to the game plan. Our goal was also Many City-esque, with every player touching it, waiting for the outlet to appear for Johnson/Gibbs-White to pounce. I try to forget about getting obliterated at their place... edit - with 'managed it' I mean we got a draw!

We ended up getting annihilated at city this season but tend to do well against them. Still yet to score at our new ground.

I thought Man City only have 7 PLs, or have I forgotten a couple somewhere?

Commentator must have a bet on for how many times he can say Internazionale rather than Inter.

I didn’t realise but there’s actually some legislation that all finals must be free to watch.

Grealish really deserves so much piss taking for his special extra tight and short shorts that nobody else has.

Inter seem to somehow be playing both a low block and a high press. I’ve never seen it before. There’s such a huge gap between defence and attack. Seems to work for them though.

Is KDB a big game bottler? Doesn’t seem to take much for him to go off in these finals.

City looked leggy v Brighton and United, they still don't look clinical.

Sorry but Kane is a better player than Haaland. I don’t care if he scored 6 more goals.

Can’t help but feel like a genuine world class player would make the difference in this final. Be interesting to see if Haaland can do it.
Hasn’t played well so far..

City's final ball has been really abysmal tbh.
