Manchester City take on Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul on Saturday.
Fresh off a domestic double, Pep Guardiola’s side are aiming to match Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United 1999 record of winning the treble.
Guardiola, chasing the third Champions League crown of his coaching career, has built a side that is playing arguably the finest football of any team since his great Barcelona of a decade ago.
Inter Milan, one of Europe’s grand old names, should not be able to compete with City when you look at their finances.
The Nerazzurri have enormous debts and their income for last year was under half that of Manchester City.
However, they emerged from their group ahead of Barcelona before beating Porto, their first victory in a Champions League knockout tie since 2011. They then saw off Benfica and AC Milan to reach the final. They have won 11 of their last 12 games and recently retained the Coppa Italia.
