Don’t usually do these games but the Forza Inter forum is in English, so no excuse. I have only added a few comments, just to get a flavour before Saturday. I couldn’t afford the ticket prices for the game and I am getting more and more jealous of the fans that have travelled. It’s going to be an amazing evening, but I feel oddly calm about the whole thing. Wishing safe journeys to all the travelling Blues and look forward to seeing everyone for the parade on Monday.

COME ON CITY!!!

Referee: Szymon Marciniak (POL)
Assistants: Paweł Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz (POL)
4th Official: Istvan Kovacs (ROM)
Reserve AR: Vasile Florin Marinescu (ROM)
VAR: Tomasz Kwiatkowski (POL)
Assistant VAR: Bartosz Frankowski (POL)
VAR Support: Marco Fritz (GER)

Team Selection

Onana
Darmian-Acerbi-Bastoni
Dumfries-Barella-Brozovic-Mkhi-Dimarco
Lukaku-Lautaro

And the rest…


i know it’s City we’re facing but lets just enjoy the moment, who would have thought we are in CL Final.

we will destroy them.

Stones' evolution as Rodri's midfield partner is worrying, that combo tore Madrid to shreds. Even more so than Haaland, we have to think about how to stop Rodri from pulling the strings. he was magnificent

No pressure on inter. It’s all on Manchester city.

I think we might lose

The last two teams that City have lost to played with 3 CBs, just saying.

It's becoming a Turkish affair. Gundogan vs Hakan in Istanbul.

Brentford has done the double over them. Yes it was city B but point still stands 3 of their losses this season comes against teams that play 3-5-2.
We will have our chances in the final. Need a 100% performance.

5-0 for City

Expecting another shitshow from refs. Incoming red card for Barella or Darmian.

The forces of darkness are once more aligned against us. Make no mistake, regardless of the referee, a battle of annihilation awaits us.

I would put Lukaku but it wont matter who'll start cause none of them can hurt City. This is a game where we can only hope to avoid disaster. Heck, Bayern was toying with us and we know what City did to them. I just dont see how we can hurt them. ManU has fast and effective wings, 90% of our squad are snails. Our chances are like Cremonese chance in cup final against us. Miracle can happen but its very very rare. Good to see optimism here tho.

If Conte's spurs and brentford can beat city there is no reason why we can't. I like everyone writing us of. Inter plays better when it's us against the world.

It's s shame that City couldn't wait one more year before buying Haaland, but hey, what you gonna do

We both have firepower, they just have a REALLY star-studded bench compared to us.

Cheers again CM

Little defeatist considering.
I too am calm about the whole thing. Whether I will be come Saturday night remains to be seen.

At the moment can see a dominating performance and a nice 3-0. That of course may change!
