Match Preview

The stage is set for a blockbuster UEFA Champions League final as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) take on Inter Milan at Munich’s Allianz Arena. For PSG, this is a shot at history: despite years of domestic dominance and heavy investment, the Parisians have never lifted Europe’s most coveted trophy, falling short in the 2020 final. Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, PSG have reinvented themselves, blending youthful exuberance with seasoned international stars, and now stand on the brink of European glory. Inter Milan, three-time winners of the competition, are seeking redemption after their narrow defeat to Manchester City in the 2023 final. Simone Inzaghi’s men have shown resilience and tactical mastery throughout the tournament, knocking out heavyweights like Bayern Munich and Barcelona in dramatic fashion.

PSG arrive in Munich in sparkling form. Their recent results include a dominant 3-0 victory over Reims in the Coupe de France final, and a 3-1 win against Auxerre to close out their Ligue 1 campaign. In Europe, they dispatched Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate in the semifinals, following earlier triumphs over Aston Villa and Liverpool. The only notable absentee for PSG is long-term injured defender Presnel Kimpembe, with no suspensions hampering Luis Enrique’s selection. The early clinching of the French title allowed PSG to rotate and rest key players, ensuring a fresh and fully fit squad for this colossal encounter.

Inter Milan, meanwhile, have navigated a tougher domestic and European schedule. Their last five matches include a 2-0 win at Como and a gritty 2-2 draw with Lazio, reflecting their consistency in Serie A. In the Champions League, Inter’s route to the final was nothing short of epic: they edged Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate after extra time in the semifinals, having previously ousted Bayern Munich and Feyenoord. Injury concerns for Inter have eased, with Benjamin Pavard and Piotr Zielinski recovering in time to be available, leaving Simone Inzaghi with a full-strength squad and no suspensions. Lautaro Martínez, who returned from injury to score in the semifinal, is expected to lead the line.

Both teams are stacked with talent and tactical nuance. PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé, a Ballon d’Or contender, has been electric in attack, while Achraf Hakimi’s runs from right-back offer a constant threat. In midfield, Vitinha and Warren Zaïre-Emery provide energy and creativity, with Lee Kang-in adding flair off the bench. Inter’s strength lies in their balance: Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram form a potent strike partnership, supported by the dynamism of Nicolò Barella and the delivery of Federico Dimarco from wing-back. Defensively, Alessandro Bastoni and the returning Pavard will be tasked with containing PSG’s fluid forward line.

Key Players

• PSG: Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Gianluigi Donnarumma
• Inter Milan: Lautaro Martínez, Marcus Thuram, Nicolò Barella, Federico Dimarco, Benjamin Pavard

Prediction

This final is finely poised. PSG’s attacking flair and freshness give them a slight edge, but Inter’s experience and tactical discipline—especially in high-stakes European encounters—cannot be underestimated. Expect a tense, tactical battle with moments of individual brilliance. Given both sides’ recent form and the trend of low-scoring Champions League finals, a narrow victory is likely. Inter’s resilience and counter-attacking prowess may just tip the balance.

Prediction: PSG 1-2 Inter Milan
