Inter predicted lineup vs Man City - Champions League final
GK: Andre Onana - 90min understands that the Cameroonian goalkeeper has been offered to the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham with Inter in need of selling players. He could sign off as a Nerazzurri player as a champion of Europe, while a clean sheet for Onana would match the all-time record of nine in a single season.
CB: Matteo Darmian - Once of Manchester United (and once an orthodox full-back), Darmian will do battle with his old foes in Istanbul.
CB: Francesco Acerbi - Despite only joining Inter on the final day of the summer 2022 transfer window on loan from Lazio, veteran defender Acerbi has become a dependable and reliable part of Inzaghi's squad.
CB: Alessandro Bastoni - The young and charismatic defender must be thanking his lucky stars that he opted to reject Tottenham and stay at Inter last summer.
RM: Denzel Dumfries - The Dutchman has registered a decent total of seven assists for Inter this season, though none in 11 Champions League appearances. Could face compatriot Nathan Ake down his flank.
CM: Nicolo Barella - The scorer of many a screamer on Inter's road to Istanbul. One of several Nerazzurri players who have conquered Europe at international level with Italy at Euro 2020.
CM: Marcelo Brozovic - In and out of Inter's starting lineup with various injuries over the course of the season, but is fit and raring to go for the final. Scored his side's only goal in their most recent 1-0 win at Torino.
LM: Federico Dimarco - The versatile 25-year-old has proven a potent outlet on this run to the final, contributing five assists, including three in his last two Champions League outings.
CF: Edin Dzeko - Former City striker Dzeko is expected to be given the nod over Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku. Even at 37, he remains a danger in front of goal, finding the net 14 times this season.
CF: Lautaro Martinez - Despite winning the World Cup with Argentina, Martinez was mocked for his performances in Qatar. But 'El Toro' has come roaring back in 2023 with a series of stunning displays.
