Champions league final


Recommended Posts

All the English pundits and twitter experts that have spent 2 weeks saying City will steamroll them and it’ll be incredibly one sided….oh dear.

Even this morning Ferdinand wasn’t even contemplating Inter winning it, was literally saying “when City do it” every time it came into conversation.

I don’t get why fans and pundits constantly forget that we all love football because of how many shocks we see. Man City fans predicting 4-0 on the radio. Amazing

I mean, i have watched quite a bit of Inter this season on BT & it really shouldn’t be a contest…..even the semi againt AC was shit, but pressure & a final does wierd things, if this was a group game would fancy Man City to batter them by about 4 goals.

Sat in the football club in portishead and there's about 20 kids all wearing full Man City kits. 

So so sad to see the glory hunting still exists, Utd in the 90s and now this. ?

Of course it does. Was out earlier, saw a kid in a Man City shirt. Overheard a snippet of convo- sure wasn't a Manchester or similar accent.

If anything globalisation or at least the commercialisation and reach of the modern game will make it worse. Certainly than say Liverpool 1970s, 1980s.

I he is the view certainly before tonight that Napoli v Man City would have been a better matchup- a much more fun one certainly. However Cup ties etc- Inter tactically strong, Man City not quite at it- intriguing matchup so far.

Exactly. And yet there’s pundits/ex players who have covered or played in upwards of 10+ finals still talking about it like it isn’t a final. This isn’t a shock at all

Italian teams really are just the worst to watch…..hopefully Man City batter them second half

Inzaghi and his Lazio were excellent. Few years ago bow, Napoli much of the season have been superb to watch, way to display your knowledge of Italian football. Atalanta under Gasperini for a few years were excellent and that included taking it to opposition in Europe. Italy in Euro 2021 and the year or 2 before were very attack minded under Mancini. Fiorentjna in some ways but only some dominated vs West Ham.

Not saying Italy is some fun free flowing League but more variety than you give credit for.

I agree, Man City v Napoli would have been an excellent final, really attacking and a lot of quality……you aren’t wrong, it is intriguing (albeit rather turgid)…..for what it’s worth i think Inter will win this.

I agree……i think Inter will win, just very very boring for the neutral!

The thing is they will win it and probably by Haaland but all the people saying inter are pressing well forget they have barely touched Man City’s 18 yard box let alone 6 yard

Fair. Just think you painted Italian football a bit with too broad a brush. Think Inter while clearly not Man City have not been terrible technically. Can't really call this one.

Fair play if thats what you believe……but Italy were not good in Euro 2021, none of the teams were.

Not if you use the time with the slower build up and counters to really appreciate how good they all are as individuals. Stones has been absolutely incredible. Grealish vs Dumfries is a game of whoever blinks first loses. Inter go from a 2 to a 5 up top in record speed.  It’s awesome

This is similar circumstances to the Euro final. England had the better team but Italy had the mentality to beat them. If Inter can get a goal it will become really tough for Man City.
