Champions League Final | Inter (N) - Sat 10th June 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Perhaps because Mahrez is a overall better player than Foden, he has a level of sublime technique that Foden will develop in due course if all goes well .
And that’s no disrespect to Foden who truly is a massive talent for his age and who has the potential to be as good or perhaps better than Mahrez in his peak years.
Even Foden would readily say that.

Mahrez is absolutely not an overall better player than Foden

Sheikh Mansour is there today.
His 2nd game - how the fuck did he get a ticket?

He’s going to jib in…

Had a second walk to pass the time , sweating like a sumo wrestler , our weather is coming out along with the hot weather there 27 degrees here

Bayern done
Madrid done.
Inter nearly done.

No disrespect but we have beaten the best already. Only a complete meltdown or a freak inter total performance will stop us.

Looking at it from a Milan perspective:

Akanji maybe could be targeted down the left and in the air. The game has many different permutations but if we get the ball into Haaland and he has his shooting boots on then it won’t matter.

We have learned to play the game not the occasion. Stay compact and hard to beat, the longer it goes on without us scoring the more encouragement inter will have.

Kev needs to have an on game. If that happens it could end up 3 to us before HT.

Come on city, let’s put this competition to bed.

Yeah Kev is the key. He hits form and we win and probably easily.

Anyone else got a horrible feeling that we could get a man set off early to 'even things up.

Too true. Its one of the ways we could lose the damn thing.

That’s not from Trading Places. Not sure which film but not TP. I love Trading Places; can probably recite the whole thing from memory!

What's the vibe on wearing colours around town today?

Went into mine this morning just to take my mind off it, going around the market several stall holders (one a Leeds fan) wished me luck. Apparently a wreath has been laid in Istanbul for 2 Leeds fans (?) and he was full of praise for that.... not everyone hates us or are jealous of us.

Hoping we are not Milan of 05 when they played Liverpool and Juve of 97 when they faced Dortmund.

In a strange way, I would rather be facing Napoli in this final.

Come on, Blues!

Spot on ! city got some real intelligent players like mr whippy , bernie, stones and kdb who can adapt and improvise according to inter‘s game plan.

Inter play long ball into Dzeko who brings Martinez into play followed by Barella. If we can stop that long ball then that takes away Inters threat. Ruben vs Dzeko and Barella vs Rodri is going to be the one to watch.
