Manchester City and Inter Milan Set to Clash in 2022/23 Champions League Final
Manchester City and Inter Milan are set to face each other in the 2022/23 Champions League final, adding to the excitement of football fans around the world. The highly anticipated match will take place in Istanbul, where Pep Guardiola’s side will be aiming to secure a memorable treble by adding the Champions League trophy to their Premier League and FA Cup titles already won this season.
Guardiola Aiming for First European Title in Manchester
Guardiola has come under scrutiny for his previous team selection during the 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the 2021 Champions League final, which he will be looking to avoid in his quest for his first European title in Manchester. The Catalan boss has remained consistent in the Champions League knockout stages, and there is unlikely to be too many changes in the final.
Guardiola Under Pressure to Secure Elusive Champions League Trophy
Guardiola and Inzaghi find themselves in vastly different positions ahead of the final, with City under pressure to secure an elusive Champions League trophy and Inter Milan seen as real underdogs. Inzaghi’s gritty side kept five clean sheets in six knockout-stage matches in 2023, and they will be aiming to rely on their defensive record in the final.
Projected Lineups for Man City and Inter Milan in the Final
Guardiola’s team is facing a minor concern with England star Kyle Walker, but the defender himself is confident that he will be ready to play. On the Inter Milan side, there are no injuries but Correa is doubtful. The following are the projected starting line-ups for both teams:
Manchester City starting 11 (3-2-4-1): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Akanji — Stones, Rodri — Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish — Haaland
Inter Milan starting 11 (3-5-2): Onana (GK) — Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni — Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco — Martinez, Dzeko
