City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
If City win tonight they will have achieved a Treble which no other English club has.
It will be a purist Treble as City qualified and entered this Champions league as Premier League Champions in 2021/2022 season.
When United claimed to have achieved The Treble 1999, they entered their Champions League campaign by qualifying as just being runners up to Arsenal in 1997/98 season, not as EPL Champions.
So, tonight will be aTotally Purist Treble by City should they win.
United's will always be tainted as they never qualified as EPL Champions...just runners up.

Re: City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
Considering the way that City are run, who they're owned by and the list of charges pending against them I don't think anyone will consider it a purist treble.

A game, like most games not featuring Burnley or a Burnley interest, that I won’t be bothering to watch.

City are by far the best side to watch outside of watching our games.

Re: City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
I don't really care whether a side qualifies as champions or not. I think it's more relevant that United named 10 British players (9 english, 1 welsh) to the match squad, most of which came from their youth team.It Is What It Is wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 8:30 amIf City win tonight they will have achieved a Treble which no other English club has.

As a little game, without googling how many of the british players in the 1999 squad can you guys name? (2 of them played for us)

Re: City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
Not that I care for the comparison between United and City’s potential treble winning achievements - but City named 8 English players in their squad when they faced Madrid in the semi final.PlasticClaret wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 12:12 pmI don't really care whether a side qualifies as champions or not.

Paul scholes was suspended along with Roy Keane for that final, which makes the win even more remarkable

Re: City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
Didn’t Blomqvist end up starting that game for Utd?
I realise he’s not British but he seemed an odd inclusion for such a game but would tie in with Keane & Scholes being suspended.

Yes he did. Interestingly, 10 out of the 11 starters for Bayern Munich were German.StayingDown4Ever wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 1:54 pmDidn’t Blomqvist end up starting that game for Utd?

Re: City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
Prediction: Inter to win. They play the best one-touch football in the final third that you'll see in all of Europe. City will become frustrated as the game goes on being favourites, Inter, being underdogs, will play without fear, they'll absorb the pressure and hit City with insane one-touch football that nobody in the PL plays.
Re: City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
Come on City.
Re: City v Inter. The Purist Treble.
Only play acting and cheating by the Italians can deny City......prediction, City win, over by HT.

Fair play to Milan for being brave enough to put a high press on City.
It’s really disrupting Citys’ buildup play.

Half time. I reckon going to make a brew will be more exciting. Inter Milan have been excellent though.

Inter done well. Inzaghi got his tactics spot on so far. Not created much themselves, mind.

Get Walker and Mahrez on. Their left back is the weak link. Ake looks shaky and Silva could have done better, so Ake & Silva off, Akanji to left defence, Walker and Mahrez to hit them where they will hurt.
Inter very clever.

Stones is some midfielder. He is finding space, dancing round everyone and finding a pass.
