Champions League Final 2023: Clash of Football Tradition and Economic Supremacy.
On Saturday night at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, Manchester City will face Inter Milan in a final that may be the only final we have seen so far that has an ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.
City enter the field as favourites, and anyone surfing the internet will notice that a 90% rate has City already winning. But football is not like that and many may think that City will obviously win but no one can write off Inter Milan who will enter the final with all their strength. She has a very good coach on the bench Simone Inzaghi and although there was a huge reduction in the budget he managed to bring her to the final of the Champions League where she will play in one night the possibility of writing her name in golden letters in history.
Inter Milan is a team with a huge tradition, heavy shirt and despite the problems they have faced since the year they won the championship, tomorrow they will be there in the final to play everything for everything. On the other hand, City, which has recently been released from the charges that carried the penalty of European exclusion, and this release was made because the CAS considered UEFA's charges to be unfounded. Not because they didn't happen, not because they aren't proven, but quite simply because they are statute-barred, a total UEFA fiasco. Now he has another cloud overshadowing any success this team has achieved who play truly total football. City tomorrow will play for the heaviest trophy in their history but they will be chased from behind by 100+ Premier League divisions against them.
There are genuine fans who really believe this team should win, is it right for football to applaud the one who 'steals' repeatedly and finds ways to avoid punishment through 'windows'?
Everyone who watches football with their hand on their heart can say that the football that City plays is scary but at what cost and what background has this team managed to get there? History has taught us that where there is smoke there is fire. Unfortunately that's the way it is. Guardiola's team may play "alien" football but it is a given that they are not fair in this position.
In summary tomorrow an Inter Milan victory will be a clear football victory even if it comes with bad football and a random goal, most likely it won't happen, the difference between the two teams is huge and the the way City are playing doesn't give their opponent a chance tomorrow, but history says never write off the underdog in football.
