Two Italian League teams have been defeated in two consecutive final stages. First, despite performing well in the UEFA European League final, they lost on penalties against Roma and in the Europa Conference League final, Fiorentina lost to West Ham despite a relatively good performance. In other words, two Italian league teams have been defeated in the finals of two major tournaments. The Italians have a big tournament final match ahead of them. Inter Milan will take on Manchester City next Saturday to achieve excellence in Europe. If Inter Milan loses that match against Manchester City, all teams in the Italian league this season will be deemed to have failed in the final stage. Inter are likely to lose against Manchester City.
I think the only chance for Serie A team who can bring European trophies is Fiorentina, but West Ham managed to beat Fiorentina with a last minute goal. Now, Inter Milan is under pressure from the EPL champions and also Pep Guardiola who already has a good history of winning titles in all competitions. However, Simone Inzaghi needs to come up with a strategy that can break the aggressive attacks that may be practiced by Man. City players. Inter must be able to maximize counter attack and effectiveness in scoring goals & defends to bring UCL trophies to Italy.
Three Italian league teams were considered as finalists in three separate tournaments where two teams were already considered as runners-up but Fiorentina and Roma were the runners-up but they dominated the match but luck was not on their side as they did well in the finals of two separate tournaments and eventually don't won the trophy. Now as the last team of the Italian League, Inter Milan will play the final of the UEFA Champions League where their opponent is Manchester City.
Manchester City is a tough opponent for Inter Milan in this tournament as well. As you said win against manchester city is impossible without a good counter attack i also think the same as inter milan will play defensively so if they can score it on the counter then they can win against city.
