DID HAMANN: Liverpool went to Istanbul knowing everything had to go perfectly for us to beat the mighty AC Milan. This time round it’s Inter who will need the ‘miracle’, rather than Man City, who deserve to lift the trophy

My former club Manchester City don’t need another ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ to bring home the Champions League, as we at Liverpool did in 2005.

City deserve to lift the trophy because they’ve clearly been the best team in Europe this season. Over two legs, they’re practically unbeatable and, while it’s not impossible for Inter Milan to win a one-off game, I’d be surprised.

Having Erling Haaland next to them must give the City players incredible belief because he can score out of nothing and at the back Ruben Dias has been as important as Virgil van Dijk is to Liverpool.
