I think that match was such a smash because MC were playing at home (not the main factor) and took an attacking stance from the start. In their first match it was the same, only it ended around the 30th minute when there was a pause due to an injury to a MC player. In the return match this wasn't the case, MC played on the same wave, they didn't stop
Finals are usually neutral and this time the Manchester City vs Inter Milan match will be held at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, not at Manchester City's home ground. That's how I see it in the schedule that has been laid out for them although I also think that it won't be a problem at all for Manchester City and also Inter Milan as both will be looking to win their last game in the Champions League this season.
Both Manchester City and Inter are certainly very used to the atmosphere of matches outside of home matches and like the final match of a competition, it requires the two teams to meet in very far places so that the support from the supporters is not too overwhelming so the fans must be willing to spend money. a lot to be able to buy plane tickets and matches. Apart from all that, of course the two teams will give a very exciting match for the fans who have attended and of course we as viewers from the television screen will also be looking forward to a great match.
From my observation of the recent finals played by the Italian clubs this season,this shows that Italy might just be lucky to be in three European league finals but might not be able to win any trophy home,because this last final might also be in the favor of the English club.
Manchester city is a very strong club this season and wouldn't give Inter the chance to defeat them in the final and rob them off from making history. This is what Pep will put into consideration,since he will also make a remarkable memory for himself and the club. This means that what is at stake is much greater than the pressure City will face on the field with Inter on that day.
On the other hand Inter will see this match as a match which will give good reputation to Italy after they have lost out in two consecutive finals this season. Inter have their own pattern of football and strategy which I think might be good enough to stop City from winning them.
