Manchester City are huge favourites heading into Saturday`s Champions League final against Inter Milan in Istanbul. After winning the Premier League title in May and the FA Cup last weekend, Pep Guardiola’s side now aim to get their hands on the greatest prize in European club football, and complete a historic treble. They have become England`s dominant force, winning seven Premier League titles in the last 12 seasons, with five of them being in the last six seasons.
City have not lost in Europe this season and dished out heavy beatings to RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Madrid in the knockout rounds. So there is surely nothing to fear in the final against the third-best team in Italy, except perhaps their own past demons in crucial Champions League games. As they eye the Champions League title, City cannot overlook the threat of an Inter team who qualified from their group ahead of Barcelona before seeing off Porto, Benfica and city rivals AC Milan. They have maybe not faced a team of City`s calibre, but they have a clear Cup pedigree, having recently retained the Coppa Italia.
