CGTN Sports Talk: Do Inter have a chance in the UEFA Champions League final?

CGTN Sports Talk EP251 Will UEFA Champions League be close.mp3

00:00

Manchester City and Inter Milan will play each other in this season's UEFA Champions League final at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Türkiye, on June 10.

Having been seeking a Champions League title for over a decade, Man City now have their second chance in three years. They have already beaten Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, two traditional European powerhouses that have left the English giants some really unpleasant memories before. Pep Guardiola and his players have to reason to repeat the failure this time.

The last time Inter appeared in the Champions League final was in 2010 and they won their third title of the tournament in franchise history by defeating the bigger favorites Bayern. The Italian heavyweights are no stranger to playing as underdogs.

Between the two team's managers, Pep Guardiola and Simone Inzaghi, Man City's boss apparently can't afford to lose after all those years of investment and trust from his club.
