INTER MILAN boss Simone Inzaghi has a special plan to stop Erling Haaland.
But he says his underdogs must also find a way to subdue the rest of the Manchester City team, which he rates as the best in the world.

The Inter chief said: “We know how strong Manchester City is and what a player Haaland is.
“We will have a special eye on him. We have prepared something but it will be all of Inter, the whole team, that will have to defend, trying to limit not only Haaland but the whole of Manchester City.
“They are probably the best team in the world. We must make no mistakes.”
Inter are seeking to be crowned European champs for the fourth time, 13 years after Jose Mourinho steered them to a victory over Bayern Munich to claim a historic Treble.

Inzaghi said: “I’m lucky to have players who know how to play these games.
“We know it’s a huge opportunity to write a page of Inter history.”
Meanwhile Kevin de Bruyne has admited to having an instant chemistry with Haaland — but would not swap his wife Michele for the Norwegian.
The Belgian superstar has linked up brilliantly with the 52-goal forward since he set foot in the Etihad last July.

Asked if it was love at first sight for him, ex-Chelsea man KDB said: “No. No, I’m happy with my wife.”
De Bruyne, 31, married Michele Lacroix in 2017 and the couple have three children together.
But he did acknowledge that he seemed to click straight away with the former Borussia Dortmund forward, 22.
He said: “It’s something that I can’t really explain, you just have a feeling with a player.
“You understand what he wants, he understands what I can do. He started scoring at an incredible rate, it helped him settle.
“Even in the last games he’s been really important for us in different ways.”
