Everyone are just writing Inter Milan off in this game, am among those that believe that Inter Milan will shock the world, Inter Milan gonna win this game and lift the trophy, they're underdog in this game, they might not have a rich squad as Manchester city but they will play with determination. Pep Guadiola is eager to win this tittle for Manchester city, and he wants to be the first manager to do so, but he will be disappointed by the Italian Giant.

Inter Milan has one big advantage over Manchester City and that is that they have Croatian player in their team.

I don't know if people know but last 10 Champions League winners all had at least 1 Croatian player in their team and it will be interesting to see if that tradition continues this year as well.

2013 Bayern won with Mandzukic
2014 Real won with Modric
2015 Barcelona won with Rakitic
2016 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2017 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2018 Real won with Modric and Kovacic
2019 Liverpool won with Lovren
2020 Bayern with Perisic
2021 Chelsea won with Kovacic
2022 Real won with Modric
2023?

I think it's just a coincidence in this regard but indeed in the last 1 decade coincidences like this keep happening although this season I'm not sure it can happen again.
At the moment Inter have Marcelo Brozovic in their squad who incidentally is a Croatian player but in this case I dare not expect much for them because even in this case Manchester City do not have a Croatian player in their squad but with probabilities they are still Manchester City favorites in this regard .

I don't believe on this theory,all those winners with a Croatian player were all co-incidence. Are you trying to say that the champion league victory will on be won by a club with a Croatian,meaning the league is made for Croatians. You have concluded from your own point of view,let's see if it will work out the way you said. Moreover, Manchester city is likely to be favored in the finals because they have the quality of players to win the game.

Inter is going to play a defensive football as usual but I don't think that will work for them because Manchester city has good strikers that will destroy any defense in the world to net the post. They are good in striking from outside the box and inside the box. Inter loves counter attack,which might be their only strategy which they will come up with. The finals also depends on luck,the must lucky team on that day will win the trophy.
