Manchester City – Inter

Inter can trouble Manchester City

Manchester City play against Inter in Istanbul on Saturday, June 10. "The Citizens are on the verge of a historic achievement. It is very likely that there will be no second chance of a treble in the foreseeable future. Manchester City have already secured victory in the FA Championship by a margin, before beating Manchester United in an emotional final. A unique place in history is one step away. Manchester City are having a very special year in 2023. After a change of tactical scheme and the transfer of John Stones to the centre of the pitch, the team is almost invulnerable. If you ignore the team's weak performance in games without motivation in the APL, there has not been a single defeat. The results in the Champions League play-offs are impressive. The team scored seven goals against Leipzig, then three against Bayern and four against Real. There have also been no defeats in away matches in European competitions. Manchester City also dominated in England. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been beaten during that time. Holland is still a goal scoring machine, but if the Norwegian is shut down, City's attack has alternative options. Jack Grealish is having one of the best stretches of his career. The Englishman has won the competition for a place in the main squad. The player was a key factor against Real Madrid and in the FA Cup final against Manchester United. John Stones certainly deserves special compliments as well. The defender has transformed himself into a systematic centre-forward, where he pushes the ball ideally. Inter have also undergone a remarkable transformation in 2023. Back in March, Italy were calling for Simone Inzaghi's resignation. Inter overcame stiff opposition from Porto and Benfica and, in the semi-finals, were already at the peak of their form when they thrashed AC Milan. The coach himself attributes Inter's transformation to the return of injured players. Lukaku and Brozovic have been two key additions to the squad. The depth of the squad emerged. In the Italian league, Inter managed to finish with eight wins in nine games. Importantly, both clubs have near-perfect squads. Manchester City have no injured players among their key players. Inter lost Mkhitaryan in the Champions League semi-final. His appearance on the pitch is possible. It is logical to expect Manchester City's total advantage in the final. At the same time, Inter are strong on the counterattack. The team has confidence, a solid defence and a deep squad. Plus, the Italians can surprise their opponents on set-pieces with their oversized forwards and defenders. A high-scoring title game is on the horizon. Inter are capable of scoring at least one goal.
