After two riveting semifinal ties, the UEFA Champions League final sees Paris Saint-Germain face Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Saturday night.
PSG are looking to win their first ever Champions League title, while a win would give Inter their fourth. They last won the competition in 2010 -- when Diego Milito's brace took them to a 2-0 win in the final against Bayern Munich at the Bernabéu.
Both PSG and Inter have faced considerable tests so far in the knockout stages. The French champions have beaten Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal in the last three rounds, while Inter played out one of the great Champions League semifinals, eventually beating Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate. They also got past German champions Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals.
PSG won the Coupe de France last week, beating Reims 3-0 in the final. Inter, however, are coming to this final on the back of heartbreak in the Serie A title race, which they lost by one point to Napoli.
This final will be the first competitive meeting between these two sides, but both return to a stage they've graced fairly recently: PSG lost 1-0 in the final to Bayern Munich in 2020, while Inter lost by the same scoreline to Manchester City in 2023.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of the game.
