..................

but I instead think that Milan vs Liverpool will be less interesting than Manchester City against Inter due to the two teams wanting a rematch in every way so it won't be a static match with a foregone conclusion, we'll see anyway

When it comes to champions league, you never know which game will be how. Anything could happen, any game could be "fun" and any game could end up with an unexpected result, nothing is known. City vs Inter will of course be fun, but most places agree that Inter is much worse now and they will end up losing to City by a good margin, I do not think that it would be all that easy to fix this and I think we shouldn't really consider City doing anything crazy at all.

Inter isn't that good, whereas Milan vs Liverpool is a match up where people think the gap is closer, they are not clearly picking a favourite and could be fun game. Of course if Inter somehow ends up winning then we could consider that as something different as well, would definitely be a quite big margin without a doubt. I believe that every game in all of UCL will be fun, it's a totally different level of playing, everyone from best team to worst team ends up playing very well at UCL.

Agreed, the Champions League always throws up some surprises which is why it's so exciting. People might have thought City would walk over Inter but European football, especially at UCL levels, is often unpredictable. Even if Inter may be considered the weaker side at the moment they still have a great history to fight with. Just as in games such as Milan versus Liverpool where the result could go either way.

In the UCL, even some of the supposedly weaker teams on paper can string together quite impressive performances. Ultimately, every match can be exciting and surprising in its own right.

This is what makes the Champions League so special. It does not matter if one team is far much better than the other, once on that pitch, anything can happen. Most of these underdogs come into the game blazing and might just shock the favorites. Top sides have also been dumped out at an unlikely stage because of a small error or one important moment.
