UEFA Champions League Final

Saturday’s Manchester City vs. Inter Milan UEFA Champions League final holds a unique proposition. As heavy favorites, Manchester City has a chance to add the prestigious European trophy to their collection, while Inter Milan seeks to rekindle past glories.

City’s Quest for the Treble

Manchester City has indeed become the tour de force in English football. Ever since the influential takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the team has accumulated seven Premier League titles over the last dozen campaigns. Last weekend, they added the FA Cup to their latest Premier League success.

Still, despite such dominant domestic performance, Manchester City’s European aspirations have been controversial and elusive.

In 2020, they faced a two-year UEFA competition ban due to “serious financial fair-play breaches,” but that decision was later annulled.

Nevertheless, their progression in the tournament has been remarkable this season, with a string of victories against giants like RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid.
