Noel Gallagher and the prophecy about Inter in the final with City-Corriere.it

An unwanted prediction, but spot on. Last April 17th Noel Gallagher, former author, singer and guitarist of Oasis , spoke of his desire for a possible final of his Manchester City, the team he is rooting for, in the Champions League. “I hope to draw Inter, they are not very good and Lukaku is playing badly,” he said Sky Sports. In short, in the space of a month things have changed a lot at the Nerazzurri. First of all, Simone Inzaghi has found his team again. Secondly, Romelu looks like a different player compared to the past few weeks and the winning assist for Lautaro Martinez in the second leg derby against Milan (1-0, 16 May) is just the umpteenth demonstration.

Now the Citizens are in the final thanks to the sumptuous 4-0 victory over Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid and will face Inter in the final in Istanbul on 10 June, trying to win their first Champions League. So, in addition to celebrating the qualification to the last act of the continental event, Gallagher can also boast of having guessed the prediction and having realized his hope.

Yet the eldest of the Gallagher brothers, Liam, has shown in the past that he has a good feeling with Inter. In one of his trips to Milan on 30 November 2017, he met the Nerazzurri vice president Javier Zanetti, who gave him a personalized shirt complete with the number 10, now worn by Lautaro Martinez. Tunic, however, which certainly will not be worn by Noel. He will prefer Haaland’s 9, who remained dry in both matches against Real Madrid.
