Let's be honest, the only reason why City and Inter played the finals was because City and Madrid faced each other at semi finals, if it was city or Madrid that played against Inter during the semi finals, then it would be City vs Madrid finals. Which is exactly what I really want to see, it would be awesome to see them play against each other in the finals, that would really be awesome.

It would also be epic because it would be just one game, semi finals could be a bit different because there is a chance you can recover for the second game, but if it is the finals then it is just one game and you have to win that game. I believe it would be coming down to that, Real, who won the most UCL in the recent periods (and all together) and City, who arguably people say the best team in the recent years, all battling it out for one final game.

The ideal final is one that brings together two favorite teams, where we as fans will see equal strengths, fighting to win the most prestigious trophy in Europe. So far Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen are the teams most favored by most bettors, because for many factors these three teams have what it takes to win the trophy. Both in terms of squad depth, head coach and mentality, I think these three factors really influence the chances of realizing their dreams and ambitions, so in my opinion these three clubs really deserve to be superior to most of the other contestants. Of course, without underestimating other teams, the fact is that we can see that currently these three clubs are performing consistently, both here and in their respective domestic leagues.

The competition to be the best in this season Champions League will resume in mid February, with many things expected to happen before the round of 16 begins. There is an opportunity for other teams to improve their performance, because we know the transfer window is still open, and they can look for instant solutions there. The most frequent challenge is injury to key players, it could be that the three favorite clubs will be eliminated early, If their key players are absent, I think the luck of their efforts to win trophies lies in that. So the ideal final that we hope for cannot happen, and there is a possibility that a team that is not the favorite could advance to the final.
