Champions League final: All you need to know before Manchester City v Inter Milan
City head into Saturday's final in ideal form having lost just one of their past 26 games in all competitions and also going unbeaten in Europe this season, winning seven of 12 matches.
Asked about his success, Guardiola said: "I had [Lionel] Messi in the past and [Erling] Haaland now. This is my success. I am not joking, this is the truth." "To achieve things you always have to have the correct proportion of obsession and desire. It's a positive word, willingness to try to do it, of course."Manchester City are the overwhelming favourites against three-time European champions Inter, who finished third in Serie A and won the Coppa Italia for a second successive season.
"It's my most important ever match, but I believe that's also the case for my players, because we have players like Dzeko and Onana who have played in semi-finals," Inzaghi said.Argentina forward Martinez added: "I hope we can turn in a great performance, get a result and take the trophy to Milan. It's a huge dream for us. It's a very difficult one to fulfil but we are one step away.
He has broken the Premier League record for most goals in a season with 36 and has scored 52 times in all competitions at a rate of a goal every 78 minutes. He failed to score in the semi-finals, making this his longest drought at two games, but his 12 goals are the joint most in a Champions League season for an English club alongside Ruud van Nistelrooy for Manchester United in 2002-03.
