Man City vs Internazionale - 2023 Champions League Final Game Thread

Which was the game where Lukaku was Director of the Goal Prevention Department, had something like 5 flubs of an opportunity+ blocks of teammates' shots? I know it was getting jokes on here.

Lukaku is a strong argument for finishing being a skill. He gets himself into fantastic positions and opportunities... and then, tragedy invariably strikes.
Congrats to Pep, to Teddy and all City fans. I wouldn't want them to win every year but I'm glad they won one.
What else does Halaand have to achieve at City? Treble, Golden Boot, hat tricks. How much does the Club World Cup mean to him? Time to move to Real?
Kinda wish Drury had the call here, he’s the best at the overly dramatic pronouncements for the big games. I blame the PIF.
Also, is there a more unlikely 2-time Champions League winner than Scott Carson? And he even won them both in the same stadium.
Typical with all their success over the years that City finally win the CL with arguably their worst game of the year.
Mind you, they’re not alone. When Liverpool beat Spurs in 2019 I thought they played a terrible game.

I’m a Haaland fan (other than for city).. would be interesting to see him without DeBruyner for a full season.. he was pretty pedestrian at times without service.. as most forwards would be.. and I wonder how his game ages without his top speed.
still great in the air and obviously massive.. to me Mbappe has more individual skill but Haaland is a force to reckon with.
Congrats, Teddy. I think this is going to go down as one of the historically great squads. As years move along, we'll look back at the mix of veteran and young talent managed by an all time great and marvel that it came together.
Edit: And the Guardian is reporting this morning that Pep plans to leave wen his contract expires in 2025.

Will Guardiola move to another club in 2025? My guess is that he takes a year off, sees what happens with the 2026 World Cup, and then makes a move to coach either England or Brazil (two countries that have not won the World Cup in a long time and would represent challenges with plenty of career-defining opportunity if he were to succeed).
