Manchester City is one win away from history.
Not only would a victory against Inter Milan on Saturday give the Cityzens their first Champions League Trophy, but it also would complete the first classic treble (Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League) in English soccer since Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United accomplished the feat back in 1998-99.
When Pep Guardiola took over City back in 2016-17, this was always the goal.
The club’s ownership desperately wanted to win the Champions League and even though five Premier League titles in seven seasons is a generational feat, there is an empty space on the mantle at the Etihad and if it doesn’t get filled, Guardiola’s reign always will have an asterisk.
All of this is to say that the pressure is on Manchester City in Istanbul. Manchester City vs. Inter Milan pick
Inter Milan is a significant underdog and was not fancied to make a run in this tournament, so it is playing with house money, so to speak.
Milan’s most viable path to success in this match centers around its defense.
