or tally and opponents inter midland also won their domestic cut but finished 3rd in the lee. and with the kick off just hours away, due to the sports correspondent, oliver moody told me what the mood was like and assemble. as you can imagine, that there is a lot of excitement here and assemble ahead of the game of the fun festival right now has been set up in the city. and i've been speaking to find some post seems here, as you might have expected, given that a home favorites. it is a mine chest of 50 pounds who are especially optimistic and confident about the game tonight. one moment for months, as to that i spoke to said it just feels like it's that time. and certainly that has been a sense of inevitability. about how well most of these have been playing lately, spots into funds on know without. hi eva. i spoke to several people who said that that team has a chance tonight, if they show ha, so it might be a little bit of a case of passion versus quality tonight. and at all or pet guardiola has worn his

side. manchester city that their confidence cannot slip into arrogance. what do you think of that? yep, i think uh that's certainly something that the mind chest the city play is what seemed to express yesterday. the press conference is ruben diaz. that defend was very keen to say that a final is a final, it's not like any other guy, and it doesn't matter what has gone before that. so city clearly keeping that feet on the ground database and for good reason as well. let's not forget that 2 years ago when much of the last a champions league final, they were the whole favorites then as well. so they know from experience how letting confidence from slip into our against can affect cheap but says that is, i think going to be one of the key issues in the us tonight. but patience will be the, the formats of the subject. and as have been say through the clear favorites, but the one to trophies already well would winning a 3rd need for the premier league. so i think that would give

them the elusive trouble. of course, as something the very few european clubs have ever one. i think it would be especially important for the mindset the 55 given that the only english seemed to ever have won the travel costs was manchester united, the cross town rivals. so i think father much of the united certainly going to be on the into sides and i that gonna be hoping that another trouble winning club can stop it from happening into one the trouble back in 2010. did the thing that manchester city hoping to achieve tonight's and on the way to winning the champions like that. yeah. incidentally, they don't sound about the legs off along the same coach fight and none of the pep squad, the outlines. so they may be a little via fax up a pet in that say ok, lots of rivalry is going on aside from the big game itself, the w sports corresponded oliver moody in istanbul. thanks for it. is a quick reminder, a top stories. the intense lighting is being reported in ukraine's eye for reset
