Manchester City vs. Inter: All Set for the Final
Manchester City could become the fourth different English side to win the UEFA Champions League.
Manchester City will seek to complete the treble this Saturday against Inter Milan that wants to make a surprise of the season in the grand final of the Champions League.
The title showdown will take place at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

Inter is featuring in their 11th major European final, the third-most of any Italian side behind Juventus (16) and AC Milan (14). It’s their first since losing 3-2 in the 2019/20 UEFA Europa League final against Sevilla and only their second in the UEFA Champions League, winning 2-0 in 2010 against Bayern Munich under José Mourinho.
On the other hand, this will be the fourth final of the continental competition for Pep Guardiola, after reaching this stage with FC Barcelona in the 2009 and 2011 editions, as well as with Manchester City in 2021 and 2023.
The Spanish coach aims to win his third Champions League title, which would put him on par with Zinedine Zidane and only behind Carlo Ancelotti (4). He could also become the fifth coach to win the competition with two different teams.
