Man City v Inter Milan

Saturday, 8pm, Live on BT Sport 1, BT Sport Youtube, RTE 2

The result was never really in doubt in the FA Cup Final.

It turned out to be one of those games where you were wondering how it was one-all.

Since the Madrid tie, I thought the Cup looked the trickiest ask out of the treble because United would give them the toughest game.

United managed to hang in the game – just – and that’s what Inter will have to hope to do too on Saturday to have a chance, but you’d expect City to destroy them really.

They’ll need to soak up so much pressure and ride their luck. If they get any chances they’ll need to take them and even then you wouldn’t be sure that’ll be enough given how City are playing.

There will be pressure on City though too. this is the Champions League final, they’ve looked so good recently but this is the one that the owners, that Pep Guardiola, that everyone around the club wants.

You’d have expected them to have won it by now with Pep Guardiola.

They’ll go into the summer hugely disappointed if they somehow don’t win it.

But even after the Cup Final win you could pick it up, what they players were saying and thinking – “one more, one more.”

They’ll be immortalised if they win on Saturday night – the best City team of all time and one of the best teams we’ve ever seen.

I just can’t find a weakness in their team.

Inter do have attacking threats. Dzeko and Martinez are usually the two whostart and they’ve Lukaku off the bench too.

Defensively, they need to be sound and they’ll want to get crosses in the box for the forwards to feed off. If they do get chances they are proven goalscorers and it gives them a chance.

It’s tough to pick out just one threat from City’s team – Haaland, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Grealish, they’re all so dangerous.

Ilkay Gundogan got both goals last week and you would expect him to get at least one effort on target in this too.

Inter will have to unsettle City somehow. If you just sit back and let them play they will pick you off.

I can see them trying to time-waste and they might try to get under City’s skin but I can’t imagine they’ll rise to it.

It does mean they’re be a few fouls flying about though and Rodri and Calhanoglu look like decent options to me to be involved.
