Ederson and Nathan Ake both return as Manchester City make two changes for the 2023 UEFA Champions League final against Inter in Istanbul.
The Brazilian international replaces Stefan Ortega in goal while Dutch defender Ake comes in for Kyle Walker for Saturday’s biggest game of the season at the Olympic Ataturk Stadium.
They are the only changes from the side that secured FA Cup final glory against Manchester United last weekend.
Otherwise it’s as you were for City as we seek to end a quite remarkable season on the ultimate high by claiming what would be our first-ever Champions League crown – and with it the historic Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW
Ahead of the team travelling to Istanbul, Pep Guardiola addressed the media at the CFA.
When asked about his opinion on Inter ahead of the final, he said: “[They are] A team with a lot of history. They have done really well in the last years with the shape - not just how they defend, how good they are in transition and how they link with the strikers.

“They have a good process, and it starts with Onana. He is one of the best in the world at starting the build-up. It makes pressing hard. A really good team.
“We know them well because we saw as many games as possible and I understand completely why they are there.”
PREVIOUS MEETING
The two sides have never before met in a competitive fixture.
Goals just either side of half time from Mario Balotelli and Erin Dzeko put City in control, but David Silva pulled the strings with a superb display. The win also gave City the Dublin Super Cup.

LAST TIME OUT
Pep Guardiola’s side completed an incredible 4-0 win in a pulsating second leg at the Etihad Stadium to complete a 5-1 aggregate semi-final victory.
Bernardo Silva scored twice in the first half before a Manuel Akanji header and Julian Alvarez’s late strike confirmed a wonderful win over the 14-times winners of the trophy.
In terms of our last fixture, City beat Manchester United 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday to seal a seventh FA Cup and the domestic Double for the 2022/23 season.
