Edin Dzeko forged a reputation at Manchester City as a scorer of important goals.
City will be hoping that their 37-year-old former striker doesn’t give them another reminder of his prowess for the big occasion when he leads Inter Milan’s attack in the Champions League final. Dzeko has scored just 14 times this season as Inter have clinched a top-four Serie A finish, lifted the Coppa Italia and booked a date of destiny with the Blues in Istanbul.
But he plays such an important role in Simone Inzaghi’s team that the Bosnian is expected to partner Argentine talisman Lautaro Martinez in attack while Romelu Lukaku starts on the bench. Dzeko illustrated he hasn’t lost his touch for scoring ‘heavy’ goals by opening the scoring as Inter beat bitter rivals AC Milan in the semi-finals.
