With a victory over an Inter Milan team in good form on Saturday in Istanbul, Manchester City will have won the UCL for the first time and will have completed a historic treble.
The 2023 UEFA Champions League final is expected to take place in Istanbul, with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City taking on Inter Milan in a tantalizing matchup on Saturday, June 10.
following winning the Premier League title following a close race with Arsenal and the FA Cup after defeating crosstown rivals Manchester United in the final at Wembley, City will approach the match as strong favorites.
City has spent the past ten years vying for this trophy after undergoing a transformation in the wake of an Abu Dhabi-backed takeover in 2008.
They were underdogs before Sheikh Mansour took over, but after just claiming their fifth Premier League championship in six years, they have emerged as England’s dominant force.
Guardiola, who is vying for his third Champions League title in coaching, has created a club that is perhaps playing the best football since his legendary Barcelona squad from a decade ago.
Two years after losing to Chelsea in Porto, they are now through to their second Champions League final in three seasons and are attempting to achieve a trifecta after winning the Premier League and FA Cup.
