On Saturday, June 10, 2023 Manchester City will compete against Inter Milan in the Finals of the UEFA Champions League match. Watch here, Manchester City vs Inter Milan live streaming, preview and how to watch it.
Man City is ready to make history by winning their first Champions League title after controlling English football with two FA Cup and Premier League trophies this season. They only need one more win to make history and their final challenge will be Inter Milan.
Inter Milan managed to advance to the final. But on the way to this final, the Nerazzurri have actually only beaten Porto, Benfica and Milan, all underdogs in the Champions League. Compared to Man City, they have to beat Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, the two giants in this competition. This is also only the first season that Inter have gone far after several years of failure and disappointment in the Champions League, especially under Antonio Conte.
From many factors, Man City is in prime condition, both in terms of performance, playing style, and experience in big matches to be ready to win the first Champions League title in their history. The Citizens have dominated English football under Guardiola, but European cups have always eluded them. City will arrive in Istanbul as favorites to win. In a statement after the FA Cup final, coach Guardiola also admitted “this is the first time we can talk about the treble”.
Man City have only lost once in the last 27 matches in all competitions, namely when they lost 0-1 to Brentford in the last Premier League match which had no effect on them. Man City’s last defeat in a game that is still important for them was when they lost 0-1 to Tottenham on February 5. Pep Guardiola is known as a coach who can improve his team’s performance in the second half of the season. And that has proven again this season. When Man City has gained momentum, it is very difficult to stop them.
Man City’s playing style is also increasingly becoming a perfect and diverse machine. At the start of this season, when Erling Haaland had just joined the Etihad, the ball was often sent to the Norwegian attacker. Haaland at that time was usually just in the penalty box and scoring goals. But in the last three months, precisely after Pep asked Haaland to be more involved in the team’s game system after the match against RB Leipzig, Man City’s attacking style has become increasingly difficult to predict.
As well as their usual subtle short combinations and their usual defensive breakdown, they are also very dangerous on ball two. Man City beat Arsenal to the Premier League title, or recently scored against Manchester United in the FA Cup final, all with two balls. This shows that they have many ways to score.
Besides that, Man City’s experience now has enough experience in the tough Champions League competition. They had lost in the final two years ago, being knocked out in a dramatic way by Real Madrid in last year’s semifinals. And now, Man City is facing Inter as a team that has matured and developed in this competition.
Experts predict that the Italian representative has only a 30% chance of winning. However, Inter Milan did not flinch. Coach Simone Inzaghi said confidently: “I knew we were going to meet the strongest team in the world right now. It’s a football match and with all due respect, I fear nothing. Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world and he has created golden era with Man City. Inter Milan respect Man City. But we are proud to play in the final and we want to win with all we can”.
Both Man City and Inter Milan have the best strength ahead of the final. With a bigger advantage, of course Man City will play attack, dominate and look for the opening goal as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Inter Milan will likely choose to stay and wait for opportunities. Man City is the team with the best attack in the Premier League will face Inter Milan who has the best defense in Serie A. It will be a one-way battle but whether Man City can take advantage of opportunities to score goals or not is another story. After all, the reality shows that Man City is still unlucky in the Champions League.

Interesting Statistics and Facts
In history, Inter Milan and Man City have met twice in friendly matches and each team won with a score of 3-0. The character of the European Champions Cup final is very different and the chances of winning are divided equally between the two teams. Man City and Inter Milan have their own football philosophies but the ultimate goal they are aiming for is the cup.
The last time Inter Milan won the Champions League was 13 years ago. It was a magical season as Inter Milan clinched the treble under Jose Mourinho after beating Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona in the semifinals, then beat Bayern Munich in the final.
Ahead of tonight’s final duel, Man City only has one significant injured player, Kyle Walker. The England star missed training on Tuesday. However, it is likely that Walker will recover in this match. In general, Pep will field his strongest team. Meanwhile, on the Inter side, Mkhitaryan’s status is still unclear. However, Mkhitaryan is likely to recover for the final. Coach Inzaghi also has his strongest team.
To be honest, Inter will be under immense pressure. The Italian team will not only have to face Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and Ilkay Gundogan, but they will also have to deal with the most fearsome striker in the world right now – Erling Haaland.
