Manchester City face Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul on Saturday. Here are three key tactical battles to watch out for:
In his debut season in England, Erling Haaland has scored 52 goals in all competitions - including 12 in the Champions League - as City celebrate the runaway success of his capture by sitting on the brink of a treble.
Inter need look no further than the first leg of City's semi-final tie to take notes on how Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger shackled Haaland, with David Alaba also coming to the rescue when his partner was out of position. Inzaghi discarded Inter's failed high-press experiment to return to being a compact side and playing on the counter-attack, placing his midfield line of five closer to his centre backs.
Inter's strike pairing of Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez have worked well together and the latter -- who is their top scorer with 28 goals this season -- will be hungry to add a Champions League medal to his World Cup win this season.

For about 14 hours, residents again and again took to the podium to slam the project, saying it would be a gross misuse of public funds to build the huge facility in a large urban forest in a poor, majority-Black area.
