While it is true that Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, have always shown offensive strength and spectacular ball possession, reaching the Champions League finals was not an easy task for Manchester City. final This is the first final that Manchester City has played in its history, and with the excellent team and coach they present, they have everything going for them to become the monarchs this year.

Pep has managed to unite this offensive power with a very compact defense, which is evident as they have only conceded 4 goals in the last 12 games played.
