Since their remarkably tight Champions League Final clash in Istanbul, Inter and Manchester City have continued where they left off, with very similar statistics in Serie A and the Premier League.
Some were predicting a blow-out domination from Pep Guardiola’s men, but it was only a narrow 1-0 result that finally gave Manchester City their first ever Champions League trophy, aided by the frame of the goal and Romelu Lukaku accidentally getting in the way of his teammate’s shot.
That close call boosted the confidence of Simone Inzaghi’s side, who are top of the Serie A table with a 100 per cent record, having scored 12 goals and conceded only one.
