Man City vs Inter: Confirmed lineups for 2023 Champions League final
By Sean Walsh
Manchester City and Inter have confirmed their lineups for the 2023 UEFA Champions League final.
The Citizens and the Nerazzurri face off at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm (BST).
Man City are heavy favourites to claim their first ever European Cup, and Pep Guardiola has made one change to the side that won the FA Cup final last Saturday.
Kyle Walker was substituted late in the win over Manchester United and missed a couple of training sessions at the start of this week, and though the right-back insisted this was simply a precaution, he has been replaced in the starting lineup by Nathan Ake.
Inter line up as expected in their usual 3-5-2, with former Man City star Edin Dzeko preferred up top to Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku.
Semi-final hero Henrikh Mkhitaryan will start on the bench, with Simone Inzaghi picking a midfield trio of Marcelo Brozovic, Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu.

Man City starting XI (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Dias, Akanji, Ake; Stones, Rodri; Silva, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Grealish; Haaland
Man City subs: Ortega, Carson, Walker, Laporte, Phillips, Gomez, Lewis, Perrone, Foden, Mahrez, Palmer, Alvarez
