The muzzle with big… ears is not a work of art, but as its creator Yurk Standelman says, everyone who plays football wants to touch it!

This shiny trophy will be received tonight (22.00) Manchester And Inter Milan in his final Champions League in the “Ataturk” of the City, and they will strike not only to touch it, but to conquer it!

This is the biggest trophy in club football and both teams, who have reached the final leg of a long and difficult journey with very big obstacles in their path, know they are 90 minutes away from the ultimate dream, unless it takes a little extra time in case of overtime. or a fine.

She wants her first

It’s rare for a date like this to have such a clear favorite. The team that in the eyes of everyone is much closer to the trophy is none other than Manchester City, although they have never been able to taste such success in the past, unlike Inter, who reached the final of the competition 5 times, and he mastered in three. The Citizens have a great desire to win the Champions League, and this thirst may have robbed them of great joy on other occasions when they drafted a firm favorite and yet stumbled in the straight.

The Manchester team is the favourite, a heavier jersey and no required attributes for the Milan team.

City have won the English double this year and are well placed to become the second English side to achieve a historic treble since Manchester United in 1999. Pep Guardiola, considered by many to be the greatest modern coach in the world, is the only one of his group who knows the way, because he successfully followed the same route when he was on the bench at Barcelona.

Stamp of Guardiola

The team he created in Manchester clearly has its own stamp and has taken it to the next level, as evidenced by the decisive 4-0 defeat of the “Queen” of Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the competition.

Success will come, however, only by winning a trophy, and Guardiola knows this better than anyone. Manchester City’s road was paved with hundreds of millions of euros, not to dominate the experience in England too, but to bring the “holy grail” of European football to Manchester, as United’s compatriot has done three times in the past.

Based on the image of the two gladiators from the beginning of the season until now, Inter are far from City quality, but they are an Italian team, have a much heavier shirt, less back ‘duty’ and could make a difference. .

And the fact that he reached the end of the route, when no one expected it, is a great success …
