The final of Europe’s most prestigious competition awaits as Manchester City face Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League on Saturday in Istanbul.
Man City are looking to complete the treble after already winning the FA Cup and English Premier League this season, but Pep Guardiola is yet to win the Champions League at the Manchester club.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan finished third in Serie A and won the Coppa Italia, so they have a chance to cap off a successful season with their first Champions League trophy since 2010.

Man City have had a remarkable season already, as they have picked up two pieces of silverware, including their fifth Premier League title in six seasons.
Erling Haaland could be the man to make the difference for City in the final as they hunt for their first Champions League trophy- he has found the back of the net 52 times in all competitions so far.
Pep’s men have been in ruthless form in the second half of the season, losing just once in their last 26 games in all competitions. That defeat came on the final day of the Premier League season against Brentford, when Guardiola opted to rest key players with two major finals at the forefront of his mind.
Inter Milan come into this final in fine form, with just one defeat in their last 13 games in all competitions, coming against Serie A champions, Napoli.
Lautaro Martinez has been the man in form for Inter this term, chipping in with an impressive 39 goal contributions from 56 appearances in all competitions.
Bet9ja tips
Man City are undoubtedly strong favourites to win the trophy. At odds to win in 90 minutes of 1.52 – 1.26 to lift the trophy – they’re the most resounding favourites in a Champions League Final for many a year. However, Inter will make it very difficult for City, so don’t be surprised to see a low scoring encounter. With that in mind, a City win and under 1.5 goals is priced up at odds of 7.00 at Bet9ja.
Haaland has been in breathtaking form in front of goal this term, and you can get odds of 3.65 for him to score the first goal of the game. Martinez has been Inter’s top goal scorer in all competitions this term, and you can get odds of him to have over 1.5 shots on target at 1.56.
