Over 90 min anything can happen. City would wipe the floor with us in the league, but in a one off game all it takes is a monster performance from our 4 defensive players and we have a good chance.

City has incredible squad depth, all quality players. They basically have almost three quality teams to field in.

But at least I'm pretty sure we will show some balls. Our team is on fire lately, and we have proven to be a tough task for anyone. Don't let tonight's match distract you, because Inter knows what they want. I don't wanna go further because I'm afraid I might jinx it, but seriously I'm so confident in our team. We didn't came here just to come here.

We need to have a plan to tackle his overloading mid and wings. Its made for the midfield to shine (especially monsters like Gundo and DeBruyne )and have possession infront of the opposition back 4. This is going to be the greatest win in the history if we pull this off.

One of the greatest mind Pep vs Limone ball

Dimarco vs Kyle Walker:palm:. Either way I don't care. I know we're massive underdogs but I'm still wishing for our 4th CL

Love to be the underdogs in the final. All the pressure is on City. We need to study them hard and hurt them when no one expect.
Well said. With City, it's just a matter of when they will suddenly choke in CL's late stages and this time it would be the final, again. Inter is the kind of team they can choke against as well, especially if our underdog role has them underestimating us.

We have a real chance here, much more so than when facing RM. And I will feel right at home rooting against Pep.

Still feels surreal even saying this about a CL final, though. Expecting to wake up from some savage acid trip soon, if at all.

Interisti should pack Istanbul and be as loud as they can. It can be key!

I wonder if this is the biggest gap in quality on paper ever in a Champions League final.

I am actually going to put a chunky bet on us. Betting on Man Shitty will barely get your money back.
How you did it before this season in CL (betting on us to win instead of our opponents)? If not, I beg you not to do it please. Don't disrupt the working formula, bet on city instead

Pep is freaking smart, he shuffles his setups and keeps managers guessing, but I bet he'll uses this 3241 again in the final. Because he wants to win tripletta with a new idea, new innovation. Because he chases perfection.

The good thing is , we know what to expect, Limone & his tactics team will probably watch all Pep's recent dominating shows vs Bayern, Leipzig, Liverpool and Real using this same setup. There's always a way to atleast nullify the threaths, obv it will take a toll on our attacking side, but we need to first not to concede. Play physical vs Gundo and DeBruyne and show balls. There will be chances if its 0-0 @60' and they will throw everything at us.
