Theory shows Man City won't beat Inter

Despite their success in recent years, Manchester City, are yet to taste Champions League glory in the history of the club.

City came close to winning the competition in 2021 but fell short against Premier League rivals Chelsea in the final played at Estadio do Dragao in Portugal.

And it seems the English giants will have to wait a little longer before they can lay their hands on the prestigious trophy.

This is per a theory developed by a fan, which alleges Inter will beat Man City in the final because they have a Croatian in their squad.

Sportbible, citing the theory, reports that a player from Croatia has featured in every Champions League cup-winning squad in the last 10 years.
