The 0-1 score prevented Inter Milan from regaining the Champions League after 13 years, and the 31-year-old Zhang Kangyang also missed the opportunity to become the youngest club president to win the Champions League. Because of the nervousness of Manchester City players, Inter had a chance to win, but Lukaku, who came off the bench in the second half, performed badly, blocking teammates to score, which is the culprit of the team's failure to win the title, and Zhang Kangyang directly spoke after the game about how to deal with Lukaku.
This is the second time the Champions League final is in Istanbul after Liverpool's miraculous victory over AC Milan in 2005, Manchester City are eager for a new king to ascend the throne, and Inter aim to revive the Apennines.
Manchester City are unbeaten in the Champions League this season, with 7 wins and 5 draws, especially in the knockout rounds, winning three home games by big scores, overturning Leipzig, Bayern and Real Madrid, and reaching the final for the second time in the team's history. After being beaten by Bayern in the group stage, Inter entered unbeaten mode, including six knockout matches, and now reached the final again after 13 years, aiming for the fourth Champions League title in the team's history.
Inter's defence limited City's play in the first half, and City were looking for an opportunity to score first in the second half, but City relied on Rodri's goal to break the deadlock.
A few minutes later, Inter had a chance to equalize, unexpectedly, Di Marco's header was blocked by substitute Lukaku, and the Inter fans on the scene could not bear to look at it directly, and soon Lukaku reproduced the classic scene of the pestle king and climbed to the second place in the hot search list.
In addition, Romelu Lukaku also missed a great opportunity to miss a late header and was the number one culprit for Inter to miss the title. At the award ceremony, the broadcast camera switched to Lukaku, who stood motionless in place, almost in tears.
After the game, Inter president Zhang Kangyang talked about Lukaku's future in an interview, bluntly saying: "Lukaku loves Inter, it's obvious, he's a great player, but he has a contract at Chelsea. We have to wait, talk to Chelsea, to clarify Romelu Lukaku's future. ”
If Lukaku becomes the hero of Inter's victory, maybe Zhang Kangyang chooses to keep him, and now he is a loser, and it is estimated that he is looking forward to Chelsea's recall.
For Zhang Kangyang, Inter's failure to win the Champions League is also a missed large amount of bonus income. According to UEFA regulations, the team that wins the Champions League final can get 4 million euros in prize money, plus the champions of the Champions League lock up the qualification for next season's European Super Cup in advance, and there is also a participation fee of 3.5 million euros, a total of 8 million euros, about 61.45 million yuan, which cannot be obtained now.
