The UEFA Champions League is a festival of football that brings together supporters from all around the world, not just a competition. The 2022–2023 season promised an exciting voyage from the moment the group stage was announced. The tournament exceeded everyone’s expectations as the globe held its breath in anticipation of legendary matchups and amazing moments.
Pre-Season Expectations: The football world was a hive of anticipation and conjecture before the first whistle. Premier teams bolstered their rosters with high-profile additions, paving the way for a fiercely competitive year. There were predictions, supporters rallied around their teams, and the scene was set for a spectacular event.
The final two teams competing in the UEFA Champions League this season are Inter Milan and Manchester City.
It goes without saying that Pep Guardiola’s team is the clear favorite to take home the championship they have been after for a very long time. One may argue that Guardiola was hired specifically to capture the elusive European club football title. And now, following a couple of past heartaches, he and his group of jolly men are about to win the championship.
The Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League are the English trifecta that City remember is aiming for.
