Manchester City is determined to win the UEFA Europa League, and has made it all the way to the final, but Inter Milan's recent momentum will undoubtedly be a strong challenger on City's way to the title.
The Blue Moon is counting on breaking the deadlock early in the game, as the probability of a cold outburst will be greatly increased once the game is locked in a 0-0 tug-of-war. By then, under Guardiola's command, City could be under immense pressure, and if the players can't handle it, the game will be in a state of confusion.
Pep Guardiola brought in Aiden Harlandt with the original intention of winning the UEFA Champions League. Hallant is the top scorer in this year's UEFA Europa League, with 12 goals already in the bag, and Inter's defense, including 35-year-old center back Francesco Assamedi, will have to keep a close eye on him at all times.
There is no doubt in my mind that City will be in control of the game. Keane, Gonzalo, Bernardo Silva and Rodrigo Castillejo are not only skillful in possession, but they are also able to deliver the ball accurately to the opposition's hinterland at crucial moments. With this in mind, Inter's midfield will have to stay disciplined, show tight defense, and intercept accurately, and Niko Vallejo's performance will be crucial.
Up front for Inter, Nada Lopez Martinez is in hot form with 11 goals in his last 13 matches, while Romelu Lukaku and Didier Disko are on fire with their excellent physicality and powerful impact. As for creativity, Charles N'Koudou in the center and Dufess on the right are both capable of creating a threat, and they have helped the team to win 11 out of 12 matches, including the Coppa Italia final.
Even though I am saddened by Real Madrid's elimination, I have to admit that Manchester City is really an indestructible team. They can attack their opponents from many angles and it's hard to find their weaknesses, so I'm looking for them to win this year's UEFA Champions League and achieve the treble.
