The upcoming match has City as the clear favourite, but the Italian team has proven to be a formidable opponent with eight clean sheets this season. They have a roster of skilled players who have earned their spot in the final.

Despite boasting top talents such as Lautaro Martinez, Nicolo Barella, and Milan Skriniar, this Champions League final is set to be the most lopsided matchup in history.

In recent months, Guardiola has maintained a relatively stable starting lineup by implementing a three-man defensive system, which involves John Stones transitioning into a defensive midfield position.

With that being said, it wouldn’t come as a shock to witness the Spaniard execute an unexpected alteration to his squad. With a history to his name, he certainly has a past.

Bernardo Silva has been an instrumental player in City’s journey to the Champions League final.

In a stunning display of skill and precision, the Portuguese international netted not one, but two goals to kick off his team’s resounding 4-0 triumph over Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg. And that’s not all – he also contributed a goal and assist in the 3-0 quarter-final first-leg victory against Bayern Munich. Truly a standout performance from this talented athlete.

Silva’s impressive record of featuring in all 12 of the Cityzens’ Champions League games this season, coupled with playing the full 90 minutes of every knockout fixture, makes it highly unlikely for him to start on the bench against Inter. Even if Guardiola decides to overthink his team selection, it would come as a surprise to see Silva not in the starting lineup.NYSC Portal

Should he take the pitch, it may mark his ultimate showing in the sky blue uniform.

As per the reports of talkSPORT’s correspondent Alex Crook, it has been revealed that Silva has informed his acquaintances about his departure from Etihad by the end of this season.

According to Crook, the star player from City is on the lookout for a new opportunity, with the upcoming Champions League final potentially marking his final appearance for the Premier League titleholders.

Silva has been the subject of much attention over the past year, particularly from football powerhouses Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.JAMB Result

Last summer, Barcelona made an attempt to acquire the services of the ex-Monaco player, but their efforts were in vain due to financial constraints. City’s alleged asking price of £80 million was deemed too steep for the Catalan club.

City has demonstrated a readiness to bid farewell to key players upon request, provided that the club’s valuation is satisfied.

Last summer’s transfer window saw some major moves as Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko departed for Arsenal, while Raheem Sterling made his way to Chelsea. One would anticipate that their position regarding Silva would be akin to that of a sports commentator.

With Barca’s financial woes, it appears that PSG has emerged as the top contender for Silva’s coveted signature.

According to reports, the 28-year-old midfielder, Silva, who was brought to Monaco in 2015 by the French club’s sporting director Luis Campos, may soon be signed by the same director once again.NYSC Portal
