Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says there’ll be no underestimating their two Cup final opponents.
The Premier League champions face Manchester United in the FA Cup final and Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
Guardiola said, “The demanding FA Cup final against Man United will be really, really difficult. And I have started to watch minutes of Inter and I am really impressed. I am really impressed with what they do.
“The body language that they have and many things. It’s not a coincidence that there are three Italian teams in the final of the Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League and in the semi-finals there were more. So they are there.
“I know because I played there and I know the mentality that Italian teams have in the finals. So two decades ago, the Italian league was the best league in the world. Everyone wanted to go there – players, managers, they all wanted to go there.
“How many World Cups have they won already? This is their mentality.
“I said right after – to play in a final against an Italian team is always really complicated.
“I saw a bit already. I called a few friends who live in Italy to see how they are. All the people tell me: ‘Be alert’. It’s not necessary to tell me because I felt it. I saw already some minutes in some games.”
