Man City vs Inter Champions League final pundits with Micah Richards, Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen on duty

Manchester City take on Inter Milan in the Champions League final this weekend as the Blues aim to secure a historic Treble.

The Premier League and FA Cup have already been won and Pep Guardiola's side are heavy favourites to beat their Italian opponents and lift the European crown for the first time. Saturday night's showpiece will be watched by a massive global audience as well as a sell-out crowd inside the stadium in Istanbul.

Viewers in the UK will be able to watch the action on BT Sport, with the broadcaster making the game free to view for non-subscribers. Over in the US, the Champions League is shown on CBS.

And the pundits for the big game have now been confirmed, with a decorated cast set to provide their opinions on the game.

BT Sport will have a quartet of regular pundits on duty for the showpiece including former City players Joelon Lescott and Steve McManaman, the latter a two-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid. Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen will also be in the studio alongside regular presenter Jake Humphrey. Darren Fletcher is set to call the game while Owen Hargreaves and Glenn Hoddle could join him in the commentary box.

Over in the States, CBS will have their main trio of former City defender Micah Richards and a pair of Champions League winners in Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher. Kate Abdo will be on hosting duties.

Popular commentator Clive Tyldesley will be calling the action for viewers in the US, joined by former England goalkeeper Rob Green. Peter Schmeichel and Spanish journalist Guillem Balague will be the pitch-side reporters.

The Champions League final kicks off at 8pm UK time, 10pm local time and 3pm ET. If the scores are level at full-time then 30 minutes of extra time will be played followed by penalties if required.
