As much as I want to buy this idea I still find it difficult to agree that this philosophy will have an impact on the result of this season's final game between Manchester City and Inter Milan, with or without a Croatian player on either team the best team of the day will conquer the day and if Manchester City decide to underestimate Inter Milan they might be in for a shock.
As one of the most prestigious inter-club competitions in Europe, the Champions League never seems to run out of stories. Previously, no club was able to win the Champions League in two consecutive seasons or the defending champion always failed to defend the title in the following season, this myth has been broken by Real Madrid after successfully defending the Champions League title for three consecutive years.
The myth of a team that always wins the Champions League with 1 Croatian player in their team has continued for at least the last 10 years, Inter have the advantage in the Final this time because they have at least 1 Croatian player. This myth might be solved in this season's final, Manchester City went to the Final with great enthusiasm after beating Real Madrid, Manchester City is also equipped with a better squad compared to Inter. This final is very important for Manchester City and Guardiola, there is no reason to underestimate Inter quality even though Manchester City is superior to Inter.
