Guardiola: “Inter impressed me, they can beat us in the final”
Pep Guardiola took his hat off to Inter in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, stressing that they can beat Manchester City in the final after having won the trophy three times in the past.
Manchester City have performed strongly this season and after winning the Premier League title (fifth in the last six years) they are looking to confirm their supremacy with two more titles, first the FA Cup double and then the FA Cup treble Champions League .
In fact, in the final on June 10 in Istanbul, the clear favorites to claim the prestigious trophy for the first time in their history, they meet Inter, who are considered absolute underdogs, but with Pep Guardiola trying to convince everyone through an interview by.
“I’ve started seeing a few minutes from Inter, a few situations and I’m impressed. It’s impressive what they do and their body language.”
After seeing them, I contacted some of my friends in Italy and asked their opinions. Everyone told me to be vigilant because they take the fight for trophies very seriously.
I already knew that and it became even clearer when I watched Inter’s highlights.he said, among other things, to the “Gazzetta dello Sport” and added meaningfully:
“Of course Inter can beat us. They have already won the trophy three times and we have not won it. However, we want to play better so something like this doesn’t happen again (including losing the trophy in 2021 with the loss). final against Chelsea).
In addition, Guardiola spoke about the rise of Italian football, which is reflected not only in the presence of Inter in the Champions League final, but also in the presence of Roma in the Europa League final and Fiorentina in the Conference League final.
“It is no coincidence that there are three Italian teams in European finals and others have reached the semifinals. I played in Italy, I know the mentality.”
Don’t forget that 20 years ago Serie A was the top division in the world and all the players and coaches wanted to play there.
Italy has also won the World Cup four times. They still have that mentality and that’s why a final against an Italian team is always difficult.”

Milan “Inter” officially announced the start of cooperation with the famous film company “Paramount Pictures”. The company will be the title sponsor of the club for the last two games of the season, the Serie A match against Turin (June 3) and the Champions League final with Manchester City (June 10).
For these two matches, Inter will receive 9 million euros from Paramount Pictures. Starting next season, the company’s logo will appear on the back of the t-shirts, below the match numbers.
Inter’s title sponsor position was vacant in early May when the Digitalbits logo was removed from the club’s jerseys. The company, which was experiencing financial problems, did not pay the 25 million euros it had contracted for the season. Inter intends to seek payment of this amount in court.
At the same time, Inter is busy looking for a new title sponsor for next season. The two main competitors are Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways.

Manchester City have two big finals ahead of them against United and Inter Milan and Erling Haaland sent a clear message to friends and rivals alike, stressing that the Citizens made him lead them to a historic treble.
Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola on the bench, are the absolute dominators within the limits and have shown it again this year by winning the league for the third straight season and fifth in six years.
Of course, the noticeable difference from previous seasons is Erling Haaland, who broke records with 36 goals in the Premier League (in 35 games) and 52 in all competitions (51 goals), with Norgigos being the Manchester Blues’ big weapon achieve historical goal.
This is nothing short of the treble United have managed to achieve with their compatriots since 1999 and the Citizens are just two games away from achieving it after having as many finals ahead of them: that of the FA Cup against the Red Devils on June 3rd and that of the Champions League against Inter on the 10th of the month.
How much the City people want to achieve this goal was even shown by Erling Haaland’s statements to BBC, with the Norwegian striker stressing:
“It will be surreal to bring home the treble, although that’s why Manchester City brought me in. We can’t hide this and I will do whatever it takes to make it happen. This is the biggest dream of my life and I hope it will come true.”
It’s clear it won’t be easy, there are two finals against two good teams. They will both be motivated and ready for anything, they will do everything to achieve our goal, but if we do our best we have a good chance of lifting both trophies.”

UEFA has announced that it will not punish Polish referee Szymon Marciniak in the Champions League final to be played between Inter and Manchester City (June 10, Istanbul).
The possible reason for Marciniak’s dismissal was his participation in the Everest conference, organized by the leader of the far-right Polish political party New Hope Slawomir Metzen.
Marciniak publicly apologized for attending this event:
“I was seriously misled and completely unaware of the true nature and source of the incident in question. I didn’t know it was about the Polish far right. Had I known this fact, I would have categorically declined the invitation. It is important to understand that the values promoted by this movement are completely against my personal beliefs and principles that I am trying to uphold in my life.
I would like to emphasize my unwavering support for the values that UEFA stands for, especially for inclusion and respect for all people, regardless of their background. These principles are central to the spirit of football and align organically with my personal beliefs. I also wholeheartedly condemn any form of hatred, discrimination or intolerance as it has no place neither in sports nor in society in general.
I also want to emphasize my commitment to the fight against discrimination in football. In the future, I promise to be more careful about learning about events and organizations I associate myself with. I am determined to learn from this experience and ensure that such judgmental errors are not repeated in the future.”
