Inzaghi has been successful in seven cup finals but has never won the UCL while Guardiola looks to win the treble with Manchester City by winning his first UCL title in 12 years.
final will take place on Saturday, 10 June, between Simone Inzaghi’s Internazionale and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team. The match will be played at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, a city known for its Grand Bazaar.
There are the two glory-seeking managers; Turkey international Hakan Calhanoglu, looking to become the first-ever Turkish player to lift the UCL trophy after Hamit Altintop failed with Bayern Munich against Chelsea in 2012, and the battle of the Argentines – Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez – who both won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina and seek to complete a significant set of football titles in one football cycle.
More riling for the perfectionist manager will be the 2021 Champions League final City lost 1-0 to Chelsea when they were the overwhelming favourites. Again, Manchester City is in the 2023 final as overwhelming favourites, especially after winning the EPL and the FA Cup. “So many clubs have destroyed projects and ideas because they weren’t able to win this competition, and so many have become big clubs because they were able to win it. We must also accept that if we want to make a definitive step as a big club, we must win in Europe. We have to win the Champions [League]. That’s something you can’t avoid.” – Pep Guardiola, Manchester City ManagerIn the 68-year history of the competition, no Turkish player has won the tournament.
