Tomorrow night's Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan has a lot on the line for both teams.
The topic of conversation this week has been whether Pep Guardiola's squad can finally give up on their fixation and realize their long-held aim of winning the biggest prize in European football. There is a lot on the line for the Citizens' chances of avenging the pain of 2021 by finally winning the Champions League and, with it, an illustrious Triple.
In addition, Simone Inzaghi's team is aiming to win their fourth European Cup and end a 13-year Champions League drought (their most recent triumph came in 2010 under Jose Mourinho).

Consistent shot-stopper, but if he wants to defeat City, he must play the game of his life.
