Last up in our series of articles looking at this season’s big UEFA finals is of course the Champions League Final.
This year, we head back to the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, site of the famous Liverpool Champions League comeback win over AC Milan back in 2005.
And just as that final was the first meeting in the competition between the two opponents, this year’s final will be the first time Manchester City and Inter Milan clash too.
At the time of writing, Manchester City are on course for a domestic treble with the FA Cup Final coming up on Saturday 3rd June ahead of this final on the 10th.
It would be a first victory in the tournament for City, while Inter would land their fourth Champions League win should they be victorious.
Let’s now take a closer look at the game with any odds shown courtesy of bet365 Sport.

Let’s take a closer look at the final lying in front of us.
Inter qualified for the Champions League via their Serie A position and they were drawn into Group C alongside giants Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Czech side Viktoria Plzen.
Inter’s second place finish in the group earned the a spot in the knockout phase as one of the unseeded teams in this stage of the competition.

Manchester City made their second Champions League Final in three years after cruising through their group and the knockout phase showing that the bookmakers were well placed when making them pre-season favourites to win the tournament.
City were drawn into Group G along with Borussia Dortmund, FC Copenhagen and Sevilla.
By finishing top of their group, City were one of the eight Group Winners to be seeded in the Round of 16 draw and they progressed through the knockout phase as shown below.

With this being the first meeting between these two teams, we don’t have any direct head-to-head data to analyse, but looking at how the teams performed against Bayern Munich gives us an insight. Inter lost both games 2-0, while City drew in Munich and then won 3-0 in Manchester.
Of course you can’t read too much into that but if you look at City’s form throughout this Champions League campaign and compare it with Inter’s, it has been much smoother and they remain unbeaten conceding just five goals along the way.
For me, this is Manchester City’s final to lose, and it is easy to see why they are 2/5 at present with bet365 to win the game.
However, I’d back both teams to score and Manchester City to win which is a 21/10 shot with bet365.
