Munich, May 30 (NationPress) The 2024-25 UEFA Champions League season, which introduced a new expanded league format, is nearing its conclusion as Paris Saint Germain and Inter Milan prepare to face off in the final at the iconic Allianz Arena this Sunday (IST).
PSG is on the hunt for their inaugural Champions League trophy—an accomplishment that would perfectly cap off their impressive run this season under the guidance of Luis Enrique, potentially completing a treble. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri aspire to clinch their fourth Champions League title, building on a remarkable campaign highlighted by their thrilling semi-final against Barcelona.
This match marks the first Champions League encounter between these two clubs and only the second time teams from France and Italy have met in the final, the previous instance being in 1992/93 when Marseille triumphed over AC Milan 1-0 in Munich, specifically at the Olympiastadion.
PSG last reached the Champions League final in 2020 but were defeated by Bayern Munich, while Inter's most recent appearance was in 2023, where they fell short against Manchester City.
Paris had a rocky start in the inaugural league phase but managed to secure a spot in the knockout stages with a strong finish, winning their last three group matches and finishing in 15th place. A remarkable 10-0 victory over Brest in the knockout phase reignited their campaign.
Following that, Luis Enrique's team overturned a home defeat to eliminate league phase winners Liverpool on penalties, then advanced past Aston Villa (5-4 on aggregate) and Arsenal (3-1 on aggregate)—the latter being a chance for revenge after a league phase defeat. Paris becomes the third French team to reach the European Cup/Champions League final multiple times, following Reims (1955/56, 1958/59) and Marseille (1990/91, 1992/93).
In contrast, Inter displayed remarkable consistency during the league phase, finishing fourth with only one defeat—a 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, their only conceded goal. In the knockout rounds, Simone Inzaghi's squad overcame Feyenoord, narrowly defeated Bayern 4-3 on aggregate in a fiercely contested matchup, and edged out Barcelona in a thrilling semi-final that concluded 7-6 on aggregate.
This will be Inter’s seventh appearance in a European Cup/Champions League final. They have achieved 10 victories in this season’s edition—their highest tally in a single UEFA competition season. The Nerazzurri have only lost once in 14 Champions League matches this season and are currently on an eight-match unbeaten streak.
