Both coaches Pep Guardiola and Simone Inzaghi have shown great determination to win ahead of the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan.

In the press conference before the match, Pep Guardiola said: "The Champions League is a complete dream. To achieve everything, you always have to be a bit obsessed, to the extreme. Winning the Champions League is not just a dream, it is also an obsession for the Man City players."

"We have played 60 games this season and know the importance of each game. I don't control anyone's comments, I simply focus on what the team has to do," the strategist said about Man City's journey this season.

The Man City "captain" also said that the team is ready to give their all to make history after missing the opportunity two years ago.

He also appreciated Inter Milan but also affirmed that "we know what we have to do. The team that performs better will win. Looking at history, Inter is bigger than us but that is not important and does not help much in a specific match. Man City must perform as well as possible in Istanbul".

This season, Manchester City are showing impressive form and their attack with the presence of Erling Haaland really brings a lot of worries to the opponent's goal.

However, the task of penetrating Inter's defense is certainly not easy for the superstars of the team from England.

Regarding this, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne admitted: "Inter defended very well and we did not expect an open game, because that does not happen much in finals. We should not wait for the game to end quickly or easily. We have to play our way, comfortably and hope to find openings and score."

On the other side of the front line, coach Simone Inzaghi said he respects Man City and believes that this is the best team in the world at the moment. However, this strategist affirmed that "this will be a match of 11 against 11 and he believes that Inter has enough pieces of their own to win this match".

"Our players are extremely determined. They ignore the pressure, the criticism and the fact that to get to this prestigious match, the whole team has worked like crazy," Inzaghi affirmed Inter Milan's determination to win the title.

"The feelings before a match like this are fantastic and we really wanted to play this final. We are enjoying the moment but we don't want to stop and Inter's goal is to play the final in the best possible way."

Along with coach Inzaghi, midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu affirmed: “Our goal is to win. Inter aim to win, even though we know this will be a difficult match. However, everyone knows how strong Man City are. Therefore, Inter need to make the right decision. The team needs to be fit and balanced to win a big match like this."

The 2022-23 Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan will take place at Ataturk Olympic Stadium (Istanbul, Türkiye) at 2:00 a.m. on June 11 (Vietnam time).

On the way to the final, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are the only team yet to lose a match in the Champions League this season.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan also showed impressive form and they only lost to Bayern Munich (lost 2 group stage matches) in this year's tournament.

With what the two teams have shown, this season's Champions League final promises to be very attractive and dramatic. Both Man City and Inter deserve to become champions of the tournament.

Historically, Inter Milan have reached the final five times and have won three times. Meanwhile, this is only the second time Man City has had the honor of participating after losing in 2021.
