Inter boss Pippo Inzaghi will take inspiration from Antonio Rudiger for his plan to stop Erling Haaland in the Champions League final.
Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup final on Saturday thanks to a brace from Ilkay Gundogan and it means they're now just one trophy away from matching their neighbours' greatest accomplishment by claiming the treble.
Standing in their way in Istanbul will be Italian giants Inter. City made the final of Europe's top competition by destroying Real Madrid but their emphatic win at the Etihad came after a tense affair in the Spanish capital that finished level.
Haaland was kept quiet in the Bernabeu thanks to an excellent marking job from Rudiger - who was then dropped for the second leg - and Inzaghi is hoping to take hints from the performance to stop the Norwegian.

"Rudiger managed to stop him very well in the semi-final and we’ll try to take our cue from that.” Though City go into the game as overwhelming favourites, Inzaghi has sent a defiant message to his opponents.
