“City drew in Madrid and then beat Madrid in England, a total of 5-1. There is no big difference, in fact it is only one goal difference (on aggregate Inter vs Milan). I heard that City’s chances of winning are up to 80%.”

“But it won’t be like that in Istanbul. I would say 55-45, maximum 60-40 for City. It will be tight, very even. Inter is a complicated opponent for City,” he said.
