Inter Milan will go head-to-head with Manchester City for European glory as they face-off in the 2023 Champions League final in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Nerazzurri are searching for their fourth Champions League title while the Citizens are yet to reach the peak of European club football in their history. Despite this, Pep Guardiola's side are heavy favourites to win the final.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been an important part of the Inter midfield this season, lining up alongisde Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella. The Armenian could become the second player to win all three UEFA cup competitions if the Italian side can beat Man City.
The Sporting News looks at Mkhitaryan's European silverware and the only player to have won all three European club competitions.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan Europa League and Conference League wins
Mkhitaryan's first European success came during the 2016/17 season when he was playing for Manchester United in England. The midfielder joined the Red Devils along with Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, Man United managed to win the EFL Cup before beating Ajax in the Europa League final. Mkhitaryan was included in the 18-man squad of the tournament.
After a few difficult seasons in England with Man United and Arsenal, Mkhitaryan moved to Roma following a successful loan spell in the Italian capital. His second UEFA cup victory came when he was reunited with Mourinho in Rome. The Giallorossi won the inaugural edition of the Europa Conference League with a 1-0 win over Feyenoord in the final.
Inter reached the Champions League final after knocking out bitter rivals AC Milan in the semifinals. It will take a huge effort to overcome Man City in their last hurdle, but they certainly have the quality to do so.
Emerson Palmieri completes UEFA Cup competition treble
Emerson became the first player to win all three UEFA cup competitions as West Ham won the Europa Conference League final. The defender played 90 minutes in the final, which was decided late on by a Jarrod Bowen finish.
The Italy international won the Champions League and Europa League during his time with Chelsea. He was a part of the squad that brought Mauricio Sarri his first trophy as manager as they triumphed over rivals Arsenal in the 2019 Europa League final. Chelsea then beat Man City in the Champions League final two years later, in which Emerson was an unused sub.
The Hammers' left-back has actually won five UEFA trophies in total for club and country. He won the European Championship with Italy and lifted the UEFA Super Cup with the Blues.
