Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 5 - Treble-seeking Manchester City is stronger than Champions League Final rival Inter Milan but the Nerazzurri deserve their place in Saturday's continental championship shoot-out, manager Simone Inzaghi said Monday.
    "City will find an opponent who deserve to play in Istanbul in the final. We will meet the strongest team in the world that in the last six years has won the Premier five times, which is the most competitive league, and has always gone deep in the Champions League," Inzaghi said at the media day of next Saturday's Champions League final.
    "We will have to be careful to compete as a team because we know we will be facing the best, with a fantastic squad and a coach who has marked an era. There is a before and an after (Pep) Guardiola, certainly it will be a very important match for us." Inzaghi said he would wait until the last minute to decide whether to start Edin Dzeko or Romelu Lukaku against the Premier League and FA Cup champions.
    He said there were still four training sessions in which he could assess the relative merits of the Bosnia captain and the Belgium centre forward.
    Inzaghi also cited other supersubs who he had used throughout the season: Brozovic, Skriniar, Correa and Calhanoglu. (ANSA).
