it seemed as if the element of surprise almost backfired (in that #City seemed less prepared for this and def. to Inter's adjustments), although as #Pep admitted (and you can see below), the execution was nowhere near flawless out of the back + the collective #Inter defending !
2. How #Inzaghi surprised him via #Calhanoglu jumping + Inter's other adjustments =
-Lautaro as a wide mid defending
-both he + Dzeko pressing back on #Rodri
-recovery speed/distance closeout of @brozocrypto + #Bastoni

think the #ManchesterCity GK + 3-diamond-3 in poss where #Stones rotates to right 8 is to pull both CBs out and iso #Haaland l #UCLfinal
#Inzahgi’s ball near 8 jumps City FB so w City winger pinning WB far side, Pep wants Bastoni to come off #Haaland (Inter obv prefer 2v1) and jump out on Stones. Nice read/switch by #Dimarco to INT the wide pass, leads to a counter
