Manchester City - Inter (18 Sep 24) [0-0]

[pupivn]

Inter and Manchester City met in the 2023 Champions League Final, which the Nerazzurri lost 1-0, but Guardiola naturally expects a different match:

Guardiola on Inter’s best qualities, Bastoni, Barella and ‘special’ Lautaro​

Lautaro Martinez hasn’t yet scored this season but is among the 30 candidates for the Ballon d’Or alongside his teammate Hakan Calhanoglu.

Then Pep went on to praise Haaland for scoring 9 goals in 4 matches

Fuck Pep, he praises opponents when he doesn’t feel opponents are not serious threat to him

I just don't think that any of Pavard, Mkhi, Lautaro, or Dimarco won't start. Unless they are injured..

Inter winning this match would be a miracle and would significantly boost our morale before the derby match. Forza Inter

 

[wera]

Frattesi false 9 off the bench will be massive <3

Pavard starting is a no-brainer imo whether he'll do great or not is hard to guess, but him coming to Inter makes us competitive exactly in these types of games. No tinkering at RCB please

 

[Bluenine]

Is Lautaro injured? Otherwise I see no reason why he wouldn't start this big, big game

 

[SiamoNoi]

I really want us to win here. I know that this is almost impossible, but it will be amazing, even if we fail next matches in CL.
A win vs the strongest EPL team in last couple of seasons will be great advertising for Inter and Italian football.
EPL fans and commentators will have a bitter pill to swallow, and at least for a while, they will keep their mouths shut and won't be arrogant as usual.
The last big team, which we have beaten was Barca, and that was long time ago.

No thanks.


And what pill they will have to swallow? It's literally the first round.

Well, it's ManCity away so a win would extraordinary, a tie would be welcome and a loss is expected. Have just enough Irish to celebrate or help deaden the pain. FORZA INTER.

 

[Linege]

we won 2-4 vs them in youth league

 

[Cittadino]

Even my United-fan coworker thinks we don't have a chance in hell. I think we can get a result.

 

[SiamoNoi]

This will be on our national tv so basically everyone will watch. Need a solid game from our boys so I don't have to listen bullshit from people who are watching Inter first time after CL final.

My gut tells me we are going to see a game similar to the final where we generally outplay them but don’t take our chances and they find a moment of individual quality to be the difference maker. My gut is usually wrong tho so maybe we’ll win

 

[Glass box]

We don't have anyone to score a goal except maybe Dumfries so a 0-0 would be miracle

nah I think at least 60 minutes of this game is trying to get the ball out of their control, outside of our box.

 

[Suraj]

lautaro to come off the bench and score ala argentina, i see what you cooking limone

 

[#NotForMe]

These games are where S.Inzaghi shines the most, so it is going to be a good show.

 

[Dave54]

Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Çalhanoğlu, Zieliński, Carlos Augusto; Thuram, Taremi.

 

[Dave54]

Draw would be good.
