Manchester City take on Inter in the final match of UEFA Champions League. The match will be played on Saturday, June 10th at Atatürk Olimpiyat (Istanbul).
Manchester City have reached this stage for the second time in their history. The work of Guardiola has definitely paid off, even though it required substantial funds and a considerable amount of time. It was with Pep that they managed to reach the historic first final, but they were shockingly defeated by the underdog, "Chelsea." In May 2022, despite their absolute dominance in both semifinal matches against "Real Madrid," the English team ended up losing to them in Madrid. This time, with Holland, the "Blue Moon" crushed the "Galacticos" at home in the return leg. Overall, it can be noted that the English team went through the entire playoffs in this style. They played strictly for a draw away, specifically 1-1 (they started with "RB Leipzig" and ended with "Bayern Munich" before facing the Spanish side). However, they left no stone unturned against their opponents on British soil. Now, though, it will be a neutral ground.

Inter Milan are unquestionably the underdogs in this pair. But it was the same with Mourinho when they took the trophy in 2010. In addition, their current manager, Simone Inzaghi, has shown the ability to achieve success in knockout tournaments overall and in finals in particular. Over the course of the season in Serie A, there were plenty of problems, and it was speculated that the coach could leave Milan due to his resignation. But in the end, once again, just like the previous year, the "black and blue" managed to achieve a decent success by finishing in the top four, securing a spot in the Champions League. Furthermore, with their current coach, they won the Super Cup and the Italian Cup in 2022 and were able to defend their status by winning both trophies again. In the Champions League this time, they had to battle with "Barcelona" in the group stage and, earning 4 points against them, secured second place and a spot in the playoffs. And there, following the same principle of "win + draw," the Italians defeated both "Porto" and "Benfica." Everything was heading towards a repeat in the semifinals, in the derby against "AC Milan," where, after stunning them in the first leg, they played with a clear advantage in the return leg. However, in the end, they managed to defeat their neighbor there as well.
Yes, "Manchester City" recently joined the ranks of the European elites. But both they and "Inter" have been regular participants in the Champions League in this century. It's even strange that there hasn't been a single official match between these top clubs until now. Judging by the odds, the cup is already taken by the Citizens. However, they face a tough opponent that won't be easy to defeat. So, let's bet that in Istanbul, the spectators will witness a final score with "total goals over 2.5."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
