On June 10, 2022/23, Edin Dzeko’s Inter Milan team will play Manchester City in the Champions League final in Istanbul.

The Bosnian striker will face his old team for the first time since he left Manchester for good in 2016. The match will take place on the biggest stage in UEFA club play.

Dzeko left Manchester City before Pep Guardiola took over at the Etihad Stadium, but he was a key player for City during his five years there.

The 37-year-old is excited to go up against the Premier League winners in a very interesting final.

Edin Dezko’s goals at Manchester City

After hitting 66 goals for VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, former City manager Roberto Mancini moved to bring Edin Dzeko to Manchester before the 2010/11 season.

After a rough first year in England, Dzeko and Sergio Aguero worked well together in 2011–12, when Dzeko scored 14 league goals and Mancini led City to its first-ever Premier League title.

He scored 30 goals in the league over the next two seasons to stay in Mancini and then Manuel Pellegrini’s plans. In 2015, he went on loan to AS Roma.

Dzeko left the Etihad Stadium in 2016 after winning two Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and two League Cups.

Even though he never made it past the round of 16 in the Champions League, Dzeko played in most of Mancini and Pellegrini’s European games.
