Today, the UEFA Champions League final is played in Istanbul between Manchester City and Inter, and an Albanian is also part of it.
It is about the midfielder of the national team, Kristjan Asllani. Lately, he has "warmed up" the bench at the black team, but he has always been ready and has responded with fantastic performances whenever he has been asked.
And he will be ready from the bench tonight, in Istanbul, a night in which he may have the opportunity to put the name of Albania in the history of the Champions League. The reason is that until now, no Albanian seems to have tasted the most important trophy for clubs.
Up until now stands Marash Kumbulla, who won last season, for more in Tirana, the Conference League with Roma, but maybe, if Inter will do everything perfectly, Asllani will climb to Olympus.
The Albanian organizer may have received some minutes this year, but from the next season the situation is expected to change, given that Brozovic will most likely leave in the market and he will be the first substitute for Calhanoglu and Mikhitarian.
