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

Posts like yours are just like the shite I keep hearing on talkSHITE and sly sports. Makes it seem like the treble is a foregone conclusion and that Inter is an easy game. Setting us up for a hammering if we don’t win. Utter bollocks, and fortunately our manager and players know very different and will be prepared accordingly

I'm sure they will but sorry for being ultra confident in our team getting the job done.

There’s a difference between being ultra confident and dismissing the ability of the opposition perhaps

Fuck. You weren't lying. I'm shitting it now too. I want this so bad for the team.

Well done by the media team as always.

Should we win ?
Yes.
Will we win ?
Fuck knows, i was certain we'd beat Chelsea but we just never turned up

I was far from certain we'd beat Chelsea. I wasn't confident at all, and less so when I saw the team selection. I didn't know anyone who felt "certain" of our chances beforehand. I think I was in the majority of City fans.

This time I have no doubt that, with our "A" team, we should win. But, it's a one-off game, so, fingers crossed, as ever.

Confident - yes; certain - no.

I think many blues forget the nerves from that time around. I wasn't confident before the game, we'd lost to them twice in the run up to it and were toothless in the FA Cup semi. The lineup was a huge blow but I understood what Pep was wanting to do. We had a bad game. We lost our key player and we had no way back into the game from that point, against what was a very good Chelsea side that knew exactly what they wanted to do. The false 9 system under Pep always struggled against a compact defence, we didn't really have a plan B other than to throw Aguero on in the hope he could magic something. We got it wrong, but we weren't huge favourites. I thought we would beat them, but I wasn't shocked we didn't.

This time around, as much as people fear they'll jinx it by writing it down, we are all confident. We're the better side. That doesn't mean Inter aren't well drilled and brilliant at what they do, but we're a brilliant side with a much better defence than we had, much more balance than we had and a better and more potent attack than we had with Haaland there. We've also got better options from the bench and the experience of losing the final before.

CL finals are rarely one-sided though so I don't think we'll blow them away. We're miles better than the rags but it was tight and one bad decision or a mistake and that could be that.

This team won't let us down. Last game of the season. One game from immortality. The players will leave everything on the pitch and bring 'Ol Big Ears home. IMO.
