Haaland gives City ‘huge edge’

Speaking on The Football News Show, Italian football journalist Nick Bandini looked to Inter's Champions League fixture against Manchester City and said Pep Guardiola's side are the "favourites" for the competition.

"The squad is exceptional, they're managed by one of, if not the best manager currently working and they have Erling Haaland up front," she said.

"It's hard not to see players like that and go 'well, that gives them a huge edge'."

Speaking about Inter before their opener in the tournament against City on Wednesday, Bandini added: "I think this game means a lot to them psychologically. It's proving this point, 'we can dominate domestically, we can stand toe-to-toe with the champions of England'."
