Inter will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on May 31 at Munich's Allianz Arena
The UEFA Champions League final is officially set, with Inter set to face Paris Saint-Germain on May 31 in a battle of tactical contrasts. Inter booked their trip to Munich's Allianz Arena on Tuesday after a thrilling 7-6 aggregate win over Barcelona but enter the final as one of Europe's best defensive sides, returning to the showcase match for the second time in three seasons. PSG, meanwhile, perfected an attack-minded system in the winter and have been nearly impossible to beat since, returning to the finale for the first time since 2020 – and in their first season since Kylian Mbappe's departure.
This season's Champions League final will not only offer a crowning moment for two teams at different phases of ambitious projects – for Inter, this could be a last dance of sorts for the current group while for PSG, this could be a dream start in the first year of Luis Enrique's unique stylistic vision for the team. For Inter, it would be their first Champions League title in 15 years, and for PSG, it would be the first time they claimed the prize.
As the countdown to May 31 begins, here are the storylines worth keeping an eye on during the Champions League final.
