Is it written in the stars?

Roma lost the EL final to Sevilla.
Forentina lost the ECL final to West Ham.
Inter Milan today face Man city in the UCL final, will another Italian team lose in a European final?

If that listed starting lineup for that fly by night team is correct, clearly Pep intention is to keep the pressure on Inter's defense, formation is overated because players on the field positions will largely be determined by the opponents'.
It comes at a cost though, defensively weak, and a few players will struggle finding their roles.
City may very well be the first to score but interestingly, I see Inter gaining footage in the second half.
It looks like a high scoring game, Inter 4-3 City, with City ahead by 2 goals by the end of the first half.

0-0 at the end of the first half, that fly by night team is so accustomed to playing teams fearing them, they are unable to respond to one that is defensively sound, Inter is in a good position to tweak its offense while maintaining its defensive posture,thereby eating into the possession rate.
