Lautaro aspires to match legends

As teammates in the World Cup and current opponents, the match between Lautaro and Alvarez is one of the highlights of the Champions League final.

At the World Cup in Qatar, Lautaro's performance was criticized by fans. He has scored nothing in six games for Argentina, scoring no goals or assists. However, upon returning to the club, Lautaro quickly recovered his form. He has scored 6 goals for Inter this season, the second consecutive season he has reached that number.

In the second leg against AC Milan, Lautaro wore the captain's armband. He said: "The armband reminds me of Messi, who is the captain of the World Cup winner and I have to look up to him. I learned a lot from him, he not only leads by example on the pitch but is able to inspire his teammates with his charisma. I hope that one day, I can also be like Messi and become a good captain! ”

Since the World Cup in Qatar, Alvarez has performed equally well. According to statistics, Alvarez has scored 57 goals in 22 games for the national team and club this season. Manchester City's Champions League final with Inter also means that this season there will be an Argentine who will win both the World Cup and the Champions League.

Compared to Inter, Manchester City is the more bullish side. Whether the Nerazzurri can achieve their dreams, Lautaro's performance is crucial. It is worth mentioning that the winner of the Champions League for Inter 13 years ago was Diego Milito from Argentina. Can Lautaro replicate the miracles of his predecessors? We'll see.

Guardiola points to the Triple Crown

On paper, Manchester City is undoubtedly superior. In addition to the young Alvarez, Manchester City also has a number of big players such as Haaland, De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva. Luxurious staffing is also the weapon for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to achieve the "treble" again.

In the Premier League, Manchester City will face Chelsea this weekend, and if they win, they will claim the Premier League title two rounds early. Manchester City will also face Manchester United for the FA Cup title in early June. After that, the pinnacle clash with Inter will determine the ownership of the last trophy in European football this season.

Commenting on the upcoming multi-line showdown, Guardiola said: "The fans are happy and this is the biggest compliment to us. We are closer to our goal, we are now one game away from winning the Premier League, and if we win, we will win the Premier League for three years in a row. ”

"When playing against city rivals and Inter Milan, you need to stay calm. The team will enjoy the final and we can't guarantee a sure win, but we will try hard to win! ”

As a world famous manager, Pep Guardiola has been at the helm of Manchester City for seven years. He has led his team to many trophies, but lacks one big ear cup. In 7, Manchester City reached their first Champions League final, but lost to Chelsea.

This time, the Blue Moon Legion made a comeback. Can Manchester City be crowned 'treble'? Can Guardiola be crowned again? The answer will be revealed on June 6. (End)
