A Final With Everything on the Line
For PSG, this feels like the culmination of years of frustration and failed superteam experiments. Mbappé, Neymar, Messi – none of them brought Europe’s top prize to Paris. Yet, in the first season without any of them, Luis Enrique has sculpted a young, balanced and hungry team that looks more dangerous than ever.
Having already wrapped up Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France, the French giants arrive in Munich chasing a historic treble. They’ve done it the hard way too, knocking out Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal in the knockout rounds, with statement wins away at Anfield and the Emirates along the way. This is no fluke.
“We’ve grown a lot this season and the players have progressed a lot. I think the strength of the team is the most important thing,” said PSG boss Luis Enrique. You learn something every day after many years of experience as a coach, and I’m improving all the time with this group.”
Inter’s Last Dance?
Inter Milan arrive in the opposite position. Beaten finalists in 2023, Simone Inzaghi’s side are back, driven by that pain and steeled by two years of experience. But this might be their last shot.
Their veteran-heavy squad – the oldest in Europe’s top five leagues – has been here before. Nine of the players who lost to Manchester City two years ago could feature again on Saturday. Defender Francesco Acerbi, 37, said: “The best thing would be to lift the Champions League,” the veteran defender stated.
“If someone had told me at the start of the season that I’d lose the league but play in the Champions League final, I would’ve chosen the Champions League.”
Inter’s road to Munich has been brutal: they knocked out Bayern Munich and Barcelona across two legs, surviving extra-time and late drama along the way. But they arrive as underdogs again – and that’s exactly how they like it.

Contrasting Styles
Tactically, it’s a classic battle of youth versus experience, pace versus precision. PSG’s game is built on high pressing, fluid attacking movement and relentless running. Ousmane Dembélé has stepped into Mbappé’s void with 33 goals in all competitions, while Kvaratskhelia, Barcola and João Neves give them frightening transition speed and technical quality. Enrique’s system looks the real deal, and the numbers back it up. PSG lead the Champions League in take-ons and carries into the penalty area.
Inter, by contrast, keep it compact and play with cold efficiency. Their 3-5-2 system leans heavily on wing-backs Dumfries and Dimarco, who have both contributed directly to goals in the knockout stages. Inzaghi’s side may not dominate the ball, but they know how to hurt teams, especially from set pieces, where they’ve scored five times in the last three games.
The Decider in the Details
A key battle will come in the wide areas. Can PSG’s aggressive full-backs cope with Inter’s overloads on the flanks? Nuno Mendes has faced Salah and Saka already this spring – now he has to stop Dumfries. And what about Dembélé and Hakimi versus Bastoni and Dimarco on the other side? These matchups could decide it all.
Inter’s goalkeeper Yann Sommer has been a revelation, preventing over five goals above expected during the tournament. PSG’s Donnarumma isn’t far behind – and has the edge if we reach penalties, winning six of his last seven shootouts.
With both sides at full strength, there are no excuses. Lautaro Martinez is back fit for Inter, while PSG will start Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia, and likely choose between Barcola and Doué to complete the front three.
