Guardiola: “Inter impressed me, they can beat us in the final”

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.”
