Manchester City face a tough test in their final step towards the treble as they meet Inter Milan in the 2023 Champions League final.
Having already secured the Premier League and FA Cup trophies, Pep Guardiola's side are just one game away from entering football immortality. However, the Citizens have never won the Champions League before.
Inter have won the competition three times in their history, most recently in 2010 under Jose Mourinho. Italian sides have not done well in European finals so far this season, with Roma and Fiorentina losing the Europa League and Europa Conference League final respectively.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of the 2023 Champions League final.
