Manchester City faces Inter Milan in the Champions League final tonight, with both teams hoping to help club football’s biggest ever trophy achieve their already-achieved goals this season.

Coach Pep Guardiola’s team completed the domestic double with the Premier League title and the FA Cup already in the bag, after its recent victory at Wembley over rivals Man United. Now, though, they go hunting for the final and most historic part of the campaign, looking to finish the trilogy.

As for Inter, it defeated Fiorentina in the Italian Cup final to win its first title this season, while it secured third place in the Italian First Division to ensure a return to this competition next season.

All eyes will be on whether boss Simone Inzaghi picks former City striker Edin Dzeko in the squad or brings in Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku – while City hope Kyle Walker can be restored to full fitness.

Here’s everything you need to know before the match.

When is the Champions League final date?

Man City plays Inter Milan on Saturday, June 10th. The match kicks off at 8pm GMT at Istanbul’s Ataturk Stadium.

How can I view it?

The match will be broadcast live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate, and can be streamed on the BT Sport app and desktop website. BT also made it available for viewers to watch for free on the BT Sport YouTube channel.

What’s the team news?

Kyle Walker’s preparations for the final were hampered by a muscle injury, but he vowed to regain his fitness and pending any late setbacks should include him in the squad. There are no other injury issues for Pep Guardiola to worry about.

Milan Skriniar has returned to training with Inter Milan after injury, although it is doubtful he will earn a place in the starting three, with Simone Inzaghi’s plans already set out. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Joaquín Correa will both be hoping he can be passed fit for the final as well, with the latter likely to have less of a chance after injury in the Coppa Italia final.
