Adriano has placed a bet on his former team Inter Milan to beat Manchester City in the Champions League final. The Serie A side are the underdogs going into the game against the highly talented Pep Guardiola's men.
They are on the verge of equalling Manchester United’s 1999 treble record after winning the Premier League and the FA Cup.
The Portuguese have therefore given Inter Milan a warning ahead of the final saying it’s not going to be an easy game for them.

In the upcoming Champions League final against Manchester City, Ruben Dias believes Inter Milan will have to work hard to get past their clever defence.

Dias attributed City's strong defensive performance to the back-chemistry fours and their ability to think on their feet in various circumstances.
