Inter to Play Manchester City in the Champions League Final

Inter’s opponent for its 6th Champions League final is confirmed. The Nerazzurri will take on Manchester City June 10th in Istanbul (3 PM ET, 9 PM in Milano). Man City booked its spot after a 4-0 second leg throttling of Real Madrid for a 5-1 aggregate win, which is only a slightly concerning result from an Inter perspective.

Pep Guardiola’s side is unbeaten in European play this season, winning its group with 14 points before taking down RB Leipzig 8-1 and Bayern Munich 4-1 in the knockout. As if that isn’t enough, City also has an FA Cup to look forward and is just a couple of wins away from a 5th Premier League title in 6 years. However, the Champions League is the one trophy lacking Guardiola’s men, who last made the final in 2020/21 only to be defeated 1-0 by Chelsea.

Inter will be hoping it can roll the clock back to 2010, when the good guys won 3-0 in a preseason friendly with goals from Victor Obinna (x2) and Cristiano Biraghi. While a similar result would be quite the upset this time around, anything can happen in one game of football.

Forza Inter!
