For Inter, this match represents an opportunity to claim their fourth Champions League crown and add to an illustrious history that last saw European glory in 2010, when José Mourinho famously guided them to a remarkable treble. PSG, on the other hand, are seeking to etch their name into European football’s history books by lifting their first-ever Champions League trophy, having previously fallen at the final hurdle in 2020.

This final is notable as the first Champions League meeting between the two clubs. While Inter have regularly featured in the upper echelons of European competition, PSG are making only their second appearance in a final, their last coming in a defeat to Bayern Munich. For the Parisian side, managed by former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique, it’s a chance to turn years of domestic dominance into continental success.

Both clubs had markedly different journeys to Munich. PSG’s start to the campaign was far from assured, initially struggling in the group stages and only finishing in 15th position. Their fortunes changed dramatically in the knockout phase, eliminating high-profile English clubs such as Liverpool and Arsenal with assured performances. Inter, by contrast, displayed consistency throughout, finishing fourth in their group and maintaining a solid form right through to the final.

Managerial narratives run strong for both finalists. Luis Enrique, reflecting on the eve of the final, commented, “What drives me most is the opportunity to help Paris achieve a historic milestone—we want that first Champions League title. The first one is always the hardest to secure. But once achieved, it opens the door for future generations to believe.” These comments evoke memories of Spain’s breakthroughs on the world stage under his guidance.

For Inter, head coach Simone Inzaghi is relishing the occasion, calling it the “crowning achievement” of an arduous four-year journey. “I have learned that sustained effort pays dividends,” said Inzaghi. “Our players’ dedication is at the core of our progress. While coaching staff provide inspiration, it’s the athletes themselves who invest relentless effort into each session and match.”

With excitement building across Europe, fans in the UK are eager to tune into what promises to be a memorable final. The good news for viewers is that the match is available to watch live and free of charge. Coverage will be broadcast by TNT Sports, and the match can be streamed via Discovery+. Notably, TNT Sports is opening up this event to all, with no subscription necessary for streaming.

In terms of team news, Inter approach the final with confidence, boasting a near-full squad and no major injury worries. However, attentions are on French full-back Benjamin Pavard, who faces a late fitness test due to an ankle issue, while midfielder Piotr Zieliński and defender Yann Aurel Bisseck are slight doubts with muscular and knee concerns respectively.

As the city of Munich transforms into the centrepiece of European football, anticipation among fans worldwide is palpable. Regardless of the outcome, tonight’s Champions League final promises dramatic football, compelling stories, and the chance for one club to write a new chapter in their history.
