Just remember that most of City players have good chance to score, so it wouldn't be a big issue if the Inter defenders can mark Haaland tightly. Gündoğan is the most underrated City player but he able to scored important goals. Grealish and Bernardo are fast, and Rodri is tough as well. The problem is their defense, so I expect both team to score in this finale.

Agree, it should also be remembered that Pep Guardiola ingenuity was very effective in implementing a rotation system for his players. When Haaland is often heavily guarded, Gundogan, Grealish, or De Bruyne step up as executors. I saw this when Man City played against Man United, with Pep Guardiola cleverly implementing rotations well and it was proven that Gundogan played more freely in the opponent's defense, focusing on Haaland movements.

Inter can try and defend and they probobly will but City always finds a way this season and if they just score one goal and take a lead early it will be game over for Inter. Everybody is expecting an easy win for City but still this is the final and if Inter can survive until have time they might have a chance to win this. If inter somehow scores and takes the lead i think o most for sure they will park the bus after that.

I think Inter know that defensive and counter-attacking strategies won't help them much to win the match, but if Inter play open and attack then there's a chance they can score. But anyway I think Inter must feel that they will be very difficult to win the match with any strategy from Manchester City.

This is the tough task that Inzaghi bears in providing an effective strategy against tough opponents from all sides. It is very difficult to deny the limitations of players at the back, forcing Inter to work even harder. If you look at Inter statistics, most of them don't strengthen the midfield and defense lines, therefore gaps like this make Man City very profitable, especially with Pep Guardiola's squad, everyone can be said to have almost balanced individual skills.
