Inter Milan are out to cause the upset of the season in the Champions League final against Manchester City - but might have to do so while being called the wrong name.

Founded way back in 1908 as Football Club Internazionale, the addition of Milan to their name in English speaking countries is not by their own design.

In fact, Inter started as a breakaway club from their rivals, who were founded in 1899 as the Milan Football and Cricket Club.
