With 10 minutes to go a desperate Inter Milan side continued to play from the back in a style that suggested Simone Inzaghi would have many suitors watching on interested. Whilst Manchester City did their thing and powered their way through grit and determination to a first-ever Champions League win, Inter were left to do as everyone expected, play second fiddle.
They arguably had the better chances in the game. Had Romelu Lukaku - more on him to come - found his 2020 form as a second-half substitute rather than the clumsy one that would somehow fail to break any china as a bull in a china shop when he came on, the game might have gone beyond 90 minutes.
Yet, despite the fight from Inter, who were already overwhelming underdogs of the likes perhaps never seen in a European final before, they didn't exactly standout in any particular way. Their defence was resolute but had poor City decisions to thank on occasion. Their counter-attacks were often disjointed and slow, their finishing was comical.
