A former Manchester City star has sent a warning to Pep Guardiola's side about Romelu Lukaku ahead of the UEFA Champions League final.

The Premier League champions go in search of their first major European trophy when they take on Inter Milan on Saturday night.

City have been seen as favourites for the title, especially after outclassing Bayern Munich and defending champions Real Madrid in the previous rounds.

Former City and Arsenal midfielder says he expects Lukaku to finish the season well after some impressive form over the last few weeks of the campaign.

"There is no doubt about Lukaku as a player. He's a top international striker, has the ability to score goals and be really strong and have an impact on the opposition. He went through some difficult periods because I believe being a striker is all about confidence.

"I think he needs to be shown more love from coaches to allow him to express himself, but he's an important player for Inter. 

"He went through a difficult period but he's getting back to his best in an important period, scoring goals and having an impact. 

"They have strong players that can hurt any defence. I expect him to finish the season well and rebuild himself for next season."
