In Summary

PSG won their last Champions League tie, beating English side Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals.

It is all to play for tonight in the UEFA Champions League final when Paris Saint-Germain and Internazionale clash at Munich's Allianz Arena as they battle for the title of Europe's best club side.

Arguably, the two most deserving teams have made it to the final. PSG won their last Champions League tie, beating English side Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals.

After earning a 1-0 victory in the first leg, they ran out 2-1 victors in the return match at home.

Fabián Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi netted in the second-leg win.

PSG have four consecutive wins in all competitions, and with both the French Ligue 1 title and the French Cup in the bag, this is a great opportunity to create history for the Parisians if they win tonight.

In attack, Ousmane Dembélé has been a key performer for PSG in Champions League play.

The attacker is the side's top scorer with eight goals, two of which have been the critical first of the match. Head coach Luis Enrique is hopeful his boys can get over the line tonight.

"We have an opportunity to make history. The players deserve their place in this final, and we will give it our best against a team that will be difficult to play against," he told reporters ahead of the clash.

Inter won their last Champions League tie, beating Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate in the semi-finals. After playing out a 3-3 draw in the first leg, they ran out 4-3 extra-time victors in the return match at home.

The Italian side scored once in the additional period. Four players scored in the second-leg win.

They are unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions. In the last encounter between the sides in August 2023, it was Inter who won 2-1.

Lautaro Martínez has been the leading attacking threat for Inter, netting on nine occasions in this Champions League campaign, including four match-opening goals.

He ranks fifth for goals scored in the competition in 2024/2025.

"We lost the final a few years ago,o and some of these players were there and they are keen to write a different story this year, he told members of the press in Munich.

In their last six matches in all competitions, PSG have won five and lost one. They scored 14 and conceded five in that period, scoring first in four of the six contests.

They had six first-half goals, while their opponents netted three times in the first 45 minutes, which should make it an interesting encounter.

Inter have won four and drawn two in their last six. They scored 14 and conceded eight in that stretch, netting first in all six.

Most of their goals (eight) came in the first half, while their opponents netted two times before the break.

Kick off is at 10 pm local time.
