Man City vs Inter players to watch

Ilkay Gundogan dey get all di praises for all di goals wey e dey score dis season especially as pipo don see for di league and FA Cup finals.

But wit 10 goals and a surprising assist dis season, nobody fit question di form and impact of Kevin De Bruyne as di man City go rely on to fit unlock Inter defence.

Inzaghi stop Inter high-press experiment wey don fail - to return to di compact side wey dem be wit dia regular counter-attack.

Im dey place im midfield line of five closer to im centre backs to always provide cover.

As Man City get De Bruyne na so Inter get Marcelo Brozovic for midfield wey get the skill to tackle di Belgian.

Anoda player na Erling Haaland wey don score 52 goals in all competitions dis season. Na who go fit stop am from scoring for di UCL final be di big question.

Di job of keeping Haaland quiet go fall on Inter defender Francesco Acerbi – e go be battle of big size players but anoda tin na dia age. While Haaland na 22 years, Acerbi na 35 years.

Inter get dia headache already but City gatz also consider Inter forward and captain, Lautaro Matinez as serious danger.

Di Argentina player wey dey very tricky wen e play as second striker don score 28 goals dis season compared to Haaland 52.

Apart of di players we mention here, both teams get sizeable number of players wey fit determine who go lift di trophy.
