“I’m Going to Watch It” – Before Witnessing Max Verstappen’s Easy Win at Spanish GP, Ferrari Guest Kylian Mbappe Predicts UEFA Champions League Final Winner

Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul, is gearing up for one of the massive games of the season. Manchester City chasing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title will play 2010 winners Inter Milan. Fans are already making predictions for the enormous clash, and PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe has weighed in.

Mbappe was in Barcelona on Sunday for the Spanish GP. He was a guest of the Ferrari team. Spanish GP saw Max Verstappen dominating and came out as an easy winner. It was his fifth win of the season, making him a strong contender for another F1 Championship. Before witnessing the Verstappen masterclass, Mbappe predicted the outcome of the Champions League final.

Kylian Mbappe picks his side for the Champions League final

Mbappe was a VIP guest for Ferrari and paid a visit to Barcelona for the Spanish GP. Before entering the paddock, reporters asked him to predict about UEFA Champions League final. The PSG superstar replied, “It’s going to be a great game, I’m going to watch it. I think Man City are going to win!” Looking at the form of City, it is a wise choice for the World Cup winner. Whether his prediction comes true remains to be seen.

Mbappe had a dismal Champions League campaign with PSG. They bowed out in the round of 16 to Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich. What made the defeat worse was PSG going goalless in both legs. Since the QSI takeover, winning the Champions League has been the dream. They made massive signings so far to achieve their dreams but failed miserably. The closest they came was in 2020 when they lost to Bayern Munich in the final.

PSG’s dismal Champions League campaign attracted criticism from the fans. They will have to wait another season to take a shot at the title. It will be an uphill task with Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos leaving. Neymar is reportedly unhappy and wants out. They will again rely on Mbappe, who believes Manchester City will win their first Champions League. 

Can Manchester City win their first Champions League?

Over the years, the European competition has entertained the fans immensely. Real Madrid is the most successful club in the competition’s history, with 14 titles, while the Citizens are chasing their first. Madrid beat them in scintillating fashion last season in the semifinal. City had its revenge this time around.

They outclassed Los Blancos this year to enter the final and will play 2010 winners Inter Milan. The Premier League winners are in scintillating form and, after winning the FA Cup recently, can become the only second English side after Manchester United to win the European treble. City are the favorites to clinch the trophy. But Inter fans are hoping for an inspiring performance from their team to stop the Citizens.
