Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola has given a tactical breakdown of what his team need to do to lift their first UEFA Champions League (UCL) trophy.
The Citizens will have to get past Serie A club, Inter Milan in the Champions League final of the European elite competition on Saturday to achieve the feat.
Apart from this, the Italian side also stand in between Man City and winning the Treble this season, given that they already have the Premier League title and the FA Cup in the kitty.

Even though many fans and pundits believe Guardiola’s men are the favourites to lift the cup, the Spaniard has insisted it will be a tough game, because Inter Milan is a difficult team to break down.
Speaking ahead of the game Guardiola said: “Inter will be a team with a lot of difficulties. It’s not easy to attack the defensive system they use. We have to be with a lot of rhythm but be patient. We are not going to do it in three, four passes.
“We have to use the right tempo that we have to play in these types of games. As much as the game goes through, you become more anxious and that will be a problem.
“They are used to controlling all the games in Italy, they have good patterns and of course, we have to defend really, really well.
“It’s a final against a top team, we have to do it. We are confident and so optimistic, but at the same time I cannot deny the qualities of the opponents, especially in the final of the Champions League.”
