Manchester City have secured two titles in the ongoing season as they go in search of a historic treble. An achievement that hasn’t been accomplished by any other English side barring arch-rivals, Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United.
Guardiola, who hasn’t managed to win the European title since leaving his beloved Barcelona, and will be looking to brush aside that record as the English side head into the summit clash of the premier title UEFA has on offer in terms of club football.
Inter will try to rain on Guardiola’s plans as head coach Inzaghi’s determination and mettle will be tested to the highest extent possible by the Spaniard’s men.
