Meeting statistics

PSG have dominated the best that England has to offer in the Knockout phase after struggling in the League phase. They eliminated Liverpool by winning on penalties, then defeated a valiant Aston Villa, and finally brushed past Arsenal. “Les Parisiens” (The Parisians) have only made it to the final once, losing to Bayern Munich by a slim margin in an empty stadium in Lisbon in 2020, and they’ve never won the European Cup or Champions League.

Inter have a far longer history at the top of Europe’s most coveted club tournament. “Nerazzurri” (The Black and Blues) have won three times, though not since 2010, and were finalists in 2023 after Manchester City defeated them 0-1. This time around, Inter’s Knockout phase path has been equally difficult, with a Bayern Munich team in the Quarter-finals keen to go to the final at home and a formidable Barcelona team in the Semi-finals.

The domestic seasons of both teams leading up to this match have ended in a dead rubber. Even though PSG were already guaranteed the Ligue 1 McDonald’s championship, they nonetheless faced Reims in the Coupe de France final. In contrast, until this weekend, Inter and Napoli had been tied for first place in Serie A Enilive, when the latter took the title.

PSG have scored 31 goals at an average of 2.8 per game since they straightened up on Matchday 6 of the League phase. However, in 16 European games this season, there have only been six clean sheets for them.

During the League phase, Inter were quite contrary, scoring just 11 goals while only breaking the defense once in eight games. In the Knockout phase, where there have been 15 goals in eight games and only one clean sheet, that has essentially vanished. In just the semi-final matchup with Barcelona, both clubs scored 13 goals in 210 minutes.

Due to a minor hamstring injury, Ousmane Dembélé, the recently won French League Player of the Year, was only able to play as a substitute in the second leg of the last-four matchup against Arsenal. He missed the following Ligue 1 match as well, although PSG have stated that it hasn’t been a major issue. Even though he was fit earlier in the season, veteran defender Presnel Kimpembe was already reduced to a supporting role and is now out.

Lautaro Martínez, the Inter captain and talisman, acknowledged that he wasn’t completely healthy for the pivotal second leg of the semi-final matchup against Barcelona. Despite playing just 70 minutes and scoring his team’s vital first goal, he has remained doubtful as medical personnel work to make him ready to play. Another player with an injury who played against Barcelona was match-winner Davide Frattesi. However, he, Henrik Mkhitaryan, and Benjamin Pavard ought to be fit for the Final. Martínez is a major doubt, but don’t bet on him risking his career again after overcoming the pain once.

Match analytics

If the remainder of the Knockout phase has taught us anything, it’s that these two clubs are capable of scoring goals whenever they want and giving them up as well. It’s true that Champions League finals aren’t usually exciting, end-to-end showdowns; in fact, the last four finals between 2020 and 2023, including the most recent ones involving PSG and Inter, all ended 1-0. It ended with more goals when Real Madrid won 2-0 last year. However, these two teams seem like the best combination to change the Champions League – Final’s frequently lackluster atmosphere. Expect goals and perhaps even ET to make a decision.

Tip: Total Goal: 2 - 3, with odds of 1.94 on SBOBET.
