Champions League final: PSG and Inter fight for the coveted title!

The highly anticipated UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Inter Milan will take place on May 30, 2025. The match, which kicks off at 9 p.m. in Munich at the Allianz Stadium, marks the first meeting between these two clubs in an official competition game. PSG are aiming for their first UEFA Champions League trophy, while Inter are reaching for a titleless season after narrowly missing out on the Italian championship. This constellation promises a highly dramatic duel for the most coveted title in club football.

PSG coach Luis Enrique has highlighted the quality and development of his players and stressed the importance of preparing for this final. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi speaks of the need to take the final step to realize yourself and make a dream come true. Inter captain Lautaro Martínez expressed his pride in the team and hope of winning the title.

Statistical background and team performance

PSG have played an impressive 16 games this Champions League season, more than any previous finalist. The French prevailed in the knockout phase against well-known opponents such as Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal. Inter, meanwhile, have lost just one game - a 1-0 group stage loss to Leverkusen - putting them on a strong run that saw them beat the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

Both teams have key players who have shown great performances this season. PSG's Ousmane Dembélé has proven crucial and is tipped to be a contender for the Ballon d'Or. Inter's Lautaro Martínez has achieved a club record with nine goals in the Champions League. Another highlight is Marko Arnautovic, who won the Champions League with Inter in 2010 and may be playing his last game for the club.

Inter appear as the visiting team in golden yellow jerseys and have already secured two away victories in the Champions League in this color scheme. Inter's record against French clubs in UEFA competitions is positive: 12 wins, 8 draws and 7 defeats in 27 matches. PSG, on the other hand, has a balanced record against Italian teams in the Champions League, with six wins, nine draws and ten defeats.
