“With Manchester City spending, you can win the Champions League final without players” – Mostovoy

Former midfielder of Spartak, Celta and the Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy does not believe that Manchester City will be easy in the match with Inter in the Champions League final.

The Champions League final will take place on Saturday, June 10 at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul.

“Before the final, nine out of ten people say that City will win easily. And it’s easy! Everyone motivates this by the fact that they tore Bayern and Real Madrid. Before that, Real Madrid also tore everyone apart. Of course, maybe City will score two at the very beginning … But Inter is also a strong team. It seems to me that City will not be easy.

Predictions are always good to make after the game (laughs). In the Champions League final, unlike the other two European Cup finals, there is no such equality of teams. City is City. I think today could be the same as in the FA Cup final, where City beat Manchester United 2-1.

It is clear that you can be wrong. Football is interesting in that: it will run and hit the top nine. You can disassemble the schemes, how to play, and much more. And then, in the first minute, a man came out, beat three of them, as he hit nine – and that’s it! And why did you draw all this? Let’s wait for some intrigue. It’s still the final.

I wish there was extra time and a penalty shootout. It is clear that everything is going in favor of Manchester City. This is logical: every year to spend 500-700 million – at some point the team must win the Champions League! With that kind of money you can do without footballers! Joke! – said Mostovoy “Championship”.
