THE BIG QUESTION
CAN CITY FINALLY GO ALL THE WAY? Their defence is strong, the midfield is very tekky and the forwards are hot – it’s their best chance for years!
KEY MAN
KEVIN DE BRUYNE Kev limped off in last season’s final, so he’ll want to make up for that disappointment!
SECRET WEAPON
JACK GREALISH They've heard of Jack, but not many UCL ballers have faced him – they better be ready!
POINT TO PROVE
GABRIEL JESUS Gab is City's only striker but still not a regular starter – he needs to win Pep over big time!
STRONGEST LINE-UP
1st MOTD MAG PREDICTS
