Manchester City are on the brink of history and, given the ruthlessness with which they dispatched Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the temptation might be to think this Champions League final is a formality. It won’t be.

Looking down the list of defeats suffered by City this season and the tactics deployed by their opponents, Brentford were the only side to beat them home and away and they are the closest to Inter in terms of their 3-5-2 shape and system.
