Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland now worry over this “curse”.

Manchester City will face Inter Milan in the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League grand final. Cityzens thrashed Real Madrid, the last champion and top winner of the competition, and arrive as favorites for what could be the first Orejona of the English team.

Pep Guardiola seems to have achieved the best performance of the team since his arrival and on the bench he has weight alternatives such as Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez or Julián Álvarez, who entered the final against Madrid and converted the final 4-0. Now, despite the optimism that surrounds Manchester, there is a piece of information that places Inter as the team that could win the Champions League.

It turns out that since the 2014 edition, all the teams that raised the Orejona had a Croatian player in their ranks. In this context, the favorites to win the final would be the Nerazzurri, given that they have midfielder Marcelo Brozović. On the contrary, City does not have any Balkan footballer on the squad. Believe or burst.

The other Argentine who would also be Champions League champion with Manchester City

Although all the flashes point to Julián Álvarez in the citizen team, the truth is that another Argentine also recently came to the plant. This is Máximo Perrone, a young midfielder who came from Vélez. His absence in recent games is due to the fact that he meets the Under 20 team to play the World Cup in that category, but if City wins the Orejona, he will also have his medal.
