1. Why #Guardiola chose the 3 🔷 3 vs his trusted

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

City only managed to "get what they want" perhaps 2x - and the goal is at the end of a chaotic 3 minute sequence with ball in play -
of course there's way more to the story and in my piece I'll explain
-#Onana's role
-#Bastoni, #Acerbi excellence
-how #City's press flummoxed Inter and how they adjusted
-and how William Blake features in the #UCLfinal
stay tuned and follow @Telexhu
