Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne talks about his connection with Erling Haaland.
The City star believes it will not be an open game, expecting Inter to be compact and make it difficult to play.
However, he suggested they are familiar with teams playing with five defenders like Inter do, as Premier League teams in recent seasons have adopted the model.
"I think we understand what Inter is; they're very compact,” he said, per the BBC.
“We understand what they are as a team, they defend well. We don’t expect it to be an open game so we have to understand not to get nervous too quickly. We have to try and play the way we do and hopefully we can find openings and start to create chances and score some goals.

Manchester City are the favourites in Saturday’s Champions League final, but the man in the dugout and players at both ends of the pitch could swing the game in the Nerazzurri’s favour.
"I think in the last five or six years in the Premier League, a lot of the lower teams are playing with five defenders. But Inter do it with two strikers, it makes it different to what we're used to. Maybe they play it all the time, the players know their roles and what they do.
