Inter Milan must be wary

After winning the Premier League and FA Cup, Man City are facing a historic opportunity to create a treble this season. Just need to overcome the Italian team in the final of the 2022/2023 Champions League, coach Pep Guardiola and his team will have their most important title.

Facing a tough and pragmatic opponent, Man City still has enough sharp weapons to compete for the throne.

Overwhelming lineup

As one of the most star-studded teams in the world at the moment, the “Blue Half” of Manchester has top players in every line. From defense, midfield to attack, even the bench of this team also has extremely high-quality names.

Man City's squad value is superior to Inter Milan's.

In terms of squad value, Man City is completely superior to Inter Milan. According to statistics from the player valuation website Transfermarkt, The Citizens' squad is worth up to 1.05 billion euros. Meanwhile, the squad value of the Italian team is only slightly more than half, 535 million euros.

Inter Milan's most valuable star is Lautaro Martinez with 80 million euros. On Man City's side, Erling Haaland is valued at up to 170 million euros. This is understandable because the Norwegian star just had a great season with 36 goals, winning the title of top scorer and best player in the Premier League.

Other notable players such as Kevin de Bruyne (the Premier League's assist king) and Man City's World Cup winner Julian Alvarez are all names sought after by world football. With a squad of expensive and talented strikers, most opinions believe that coach Pep Guardiola and his team will create an overwhelming advantage over Inter Milan.

Counterplay

Facing strong opponents, Inter Milan often chooses a tight defensive style - quick counter-attack. However, this is the tactic that coach Pep Guardiola really expects his opponent to launch. At this time, the gaps in the middle of the field will be fully exploited by Man City with the flexibility of the midfield. The group of sharp "passers" like Kevin de Bruyne or Gundogan will have enough space to launch passes for Haaland or Alvarez to score.

Inter's defensive counter-attacking style of play is unlikely to stop Man City.

In addition, the beauty of Man City lies in the diversity of tactics and personnel who always know how to shine at the right time. When Haaland or Alvarez cannot shine, other factors such as Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva or De Bruyne can completely score in many different positions. Like Sky Sport once commented: every Man City player knows how to put the ball in the opponent's net.

In the semi-final against Real Madrid, when Man City's strikers were being closely marked, Kevin de Bruyne created a superb long-range shot to rescue his team. A week later, Bernardo Silva played the hero role with a brace that surprised the defending champions' defense. Therefore, if Inter Milan continue to use this style of play and let their opponents control the match, they will most likely make a serious mistake.

Man City always dominates the opponent.

However, there is no guarantee that coach Inzaghi will “go back to the old ways” against Man City. The Nerazzurri can completely attack The Citizens to get an early goal. If Inter Milan succeed, the English representative will have a lot of difficulty finding an equalizer.

The class of coach Pep Guardiola

With the outstanding talent of coach Pep Guardiola, Man City has become a fearsome team with diverse tactics. At Man City this season, the 51-year-old strategist has successfully built an all-out attacking style of play, a clear ball control philosophy, so that the players only need to enter the field and play according to pre-programmed instructions. The Telegraph said that Pep Guardiola's tactical system helps The Citizens dominate every match in the literal sense.

Pep Guardiola is the world's top coach at the moment.

The way Man City plays is like a giant playing in the park. Even the most traditional teams in Europe such as Bayern Munich, Man United, Arsenal or Real Madrid are powerless to stop the all-out attack of coach Pep Guardiola and his team.

He has defeated talented and experienced coaches such as Carlo Ancelotti, Thomas Tuchel or Erik ten Hag. Therefore, many opinions say that coach Simone Inzaghi of Inter Milan is hardly considered a worthy opponent for the Spanish strategist when his achievements up to this point are quite modest.

However, coach Inzaghi still has the ability to turn the tables. In his coaching career, "Pep" made a mistake in choosing the squad in the Champions League final 2 years ago against Chelsea and was fully exploited by coach Tuchel. In the upcoming final match of European football, whether history will repeat itself or not is still a big question mark.

With a series of outstanding advantages, Man City is the name that is rated higher than Inter Milan in the final of the UEFA Champions League 2022/2023.
