It is the one trophy that still eludes Pep Guardiola’s dominant team, who were edged out by Chelsea on their only previous final appearance in Porto two years ago.
Inter head into tonight’s game with almost no expectations given City’s fearsome form, which could well play in their favour as they look to win the European Cup for a fourth time having already lifted the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana trophies under cup specialist Simone Inzaghi this term.

Champions League final prediction
City will surely never have a better chance of winning the Champions League, and in turn a famous treble. That is not to say that Inter are pushovers, but are the weakest of the three teams that have stood in City’s way for their tilt at history, the others being Premier League runners-up Arsenal and FA Cup finalists Manchester United.
Guardiola infamously tinkered too much when City lost to Chelsea in the final two years ago, so there is always that danger, but you would think any selection should overpower Inter tonight.
Man City to win,2-0.
