No matter who will play against us, it's not gonna be easy. I have a crush on certain players like Bernardo Silva, Gundogan, Valverde, Modrić,.. it's really the FINAL BOSS of the season.

As long we have our top4 secured, we'll play with less pressure and might even surprise our opponents. If we don't have the top4 secured, we are fucked mentally anyways and I doubt we would recover by the time the final rolls by.

Sharing few posts from City forum to hype you up for the final:

They’ve just beaten a very poor AC Milan team one nil.

What score would City have beaten AC Milan tonight?

Stop Martinez, stop Inter from scoring.
Some are impressed by Inter's shithousery and antics. Against a good attacking team, they would find it hard to defend like that. I suspect they would easily collapse if they receive an early goal.
If we make the final we better not go a goal behind against this lot. It would be like playing a lower league team on steroids defensively. Dirty tricks in abundance. They would not have the balls to try and take either us or Madrid on in a game of football. Sit back and hope for a long ball mistake.
This Milan team is shit, I bet Crystal Palace would make more problems than Milan to any team.
Inter is similar to West Ham or Brentford, the good thing is they don't have many quick players.

There are 2-3 reasonable posts there but they're ignored by majority.

Juventuz forum is no better. The leading authority figures on losing CL finals apparently have some opinions to share.

Im gonna simply ignore what the dirty scum just reached. If they win the whole thing I simply wont regard the whole tournament as a big deal anymore.
Incredibly easy run to the finals, but I think PSG's road to the final in 2020 was at least as easy. They had Dortmund in the first round, Atalanta in the quarters and Leipzig in the semis.
Can’t believe these two teams play a cl semi final…. Footballs quality is in a free fall
This is why a fluke CL run means nothing.
One thing is for sure, ever since they allowed other teams than league champions, it's really not the champions league anymore.
Milan-Inter? How CL has fallen. If one of them wins it it just devalues the competition imo.

Comparing us to West Ham and fucking Brentford. Plastic fucks. City were just Uniteds ugly little sister before they got bought up by dirty money.

And juventini can eat a big bowl of cow feces. Insufferable lot. Europa League is just the competition for them. It’s where their quality lies. Not a seat at the big boys table.

All PL fans complain about boring, nostalgic Seria teams and games are showing their age 😂

With them run-run-run games are exiting. Fuck off I watch PL every weeks and it’s fucking boring 1 dimension.

Just one Rudiger and they also said boring game.

They never learn, even after Italy handled them in Euro.

According to my calculations, Inter earned around 73.1 mln from prize moneys so far. I didn't add the money for wins/draws after the groupe stage, because I don't know are they paid? We will add 15.9 mln from coefficient payout, which makes 89 mln, without Broadcast market, because I don't know how much it should be for Inter. I didn't add the tickets profit too, but I think for the Porto's, Benfica's, Bayern's and Barca's games, the stadium was sold out, so it should be quite good amount at the end.

Performance-based prize money (55 percent of total)​


StagePrize Money
Winner€20m
Runner-up€15.5m
Semifinalists€12.5m
Quarterfinalists€10.6m
Round of 16€9.6m
Group-stage wins€2.8m
Group-stage draws€930k
Reaching group stage€15.64m

Other UEFA Champions League prize money​

While 55 percent of the total prize purse is distributed among the clubs as a reward for their results in the competition as outlined above, the rest of the 45 percent of the pool is split across the 32 group stage participants in two ways.

Coefficient payout (30 percent of total)​

A total of 30 percent of the prize money (€600.6m) is paid out to all 32 clubs in the Champions League group stage based on a coefficient algorithm that ranks their European performance over a 10-year period.

The teams are ranked according to this algorithm from No. 1 to No. 32, with bonus points given for hoisting European trophies. Then the money is paid out in shares, according to a team's rank. The lowest-ranked team earns one share (€1.137 million), while the top-ranked team earns 32 shares, or €36.38 million.

Broadcast market payout (15 percent of total)​

An additional €300.3m (15 percent of the total purse) is made available as part of the broadcast revenue once all the broadcast deals are finalized around the continent.
The national federation for each country represented in the UEFA Champions League is provided a share of this money based on the proportional value of each TV market. Each national federation then distributes that money to the participating Champions League clubs based on:

  • 50 percent of the allocation to a national federation will be divided among the participating Champions League clubs from that nation based on fixed percentages determined by UEFA.
  • The other 50 percent is paid out in proportion to the number of matches played by each club in the 2022/23 competition.

We have a lot of players who can occasionally put up world class performances. If we're firing on all cylinders, we can go toe to toe with any team for 90 minutes.

Our problem has always been this team is wildly inconsistent. We can be world class one day, and Serie B level the next.

Whoever thinks it's gonna be a cakewalk for Real Madrid or ManCity is a complete idiot to me. Meanwhile they might have that "favourite" factor in their side, Inter has proven to be tough to beat in their day, and lately we have been giving full gas in both competitions. Despite having a thin squad, we are able to bite pretty hard against anyone.

Pep is a clever cunt, he knows this. Not gonna mention Carlo because he knows Italian football pretty well though. We are superior tactically than both other teams. We might not have a team of quick players or dribblers but we have some other attributes that can make the other team suffer against us.

But whatever happens in the final, this team deserves all the credit of the world for pulling a miracle by reaching the final. Not even the most optimistic Interista would've thought that Inter will reach the finals after seeing how the pre-season, transfer market and other things went. But here we are...

It's fun to read those rat fuckers complaining about how bad the Champions League knockouts have gotten, and despite that they still didn't even qualify to play in them.

It was more of biased defiance than anything else, but I remember writing a comment here back in 2018 after they signed C. Ronaldo that we were still going to lift the Champions League trophy again before they did. I dunno if we'll do that next month, but I'm just as much amused right now that we got to a CL Final sooner than they did...they haven't even made it past the quarters since, when, 2017? And if there's any justice on this planet, they won't even be in next year's competition at all, which is a good thing; the Champions League is better when Juventus aren't playing in it.

Benfica already kicked their asses twice this season and they are talking about "easy run" lmao.

Normally, I wouldn’t bother watching today's match between ManCity and Real Madrid having no love for either squad. However, since Inter will be playing one of them in the final, I'll watch. Picking a team to oppose Inter is problematic, because Inter will be underdogs regardless. Probably will kinda root for ManCity to advance, then will watch a more "unbiased" match on the Spanish language channel when it's aired. Thus, avoiding the jizzing and swooning over ManCity on the English language channel.

I think ManCity will advance tonight, but I'd rather Inter to play Real in the final.
2 teams with history, and I could (like some have allready said here) not handle ManCity to win their first CL over Inter.

I'm very much in the City over Real camp. Real are absolute mentality monsters and we won't be able to play our "sit deeper with fast transitions" game against them.

City have already bottled one CL final against a team that was much worse than them.
