The pinnacle of European club football arrives on Saturday as Paris Saint-Germain face Inter Milan in the 2025 Champions League final. PSG navigated a challenging group stage but found their stride impressively in the knockout rounds. Inter, meanwhile, have relied on a formidable defense and the prolific form of Lautaro Martinez to reach this stage.
While PSG are aiming for their first Champions League title under the guidance of treble-winning coach Luis Enrique, many players in the Inter squad have recent experience in the final, having lost to Manchester City in 2023, which could help manage the pressure. Featuring attacking talents like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele, PSG possess one of the world`s most potent offenses. Inter will face a stern test containing them, but if the game becomes end-to-end, the Italian side is well-equipped to compete.

How They Got Here
Paris Saint-Germain:
PSG faced uncertainty early on, earning only four points from their first five group games. However, they dramatically improved, finishing 15th overall to qualify for the knockouts. They began their knockout campaign with a dominant 10-0 aggregate win over Brest, followed by a tight encounter with Liverpool where they advanced via a penalty shootout after a 1-0 first-leg loss at Anfield. Next, they overcame Aston Villa in a high-scoring tie, winning 5-4 on aggregate despite a scare. Their path to the final was sealed by defeating Arsenal.
Inter Milan:
Inter secured a more direct route, finishing fourth in the group phase and earning a bye to the round of 16. They comfortably defeated Dutch side Feyenoord 4-1 on aggregate. A tougher challenge came against Bayern Munich, where a narrow first-leg win in Munich was just enough to see them through 4-3 on aggregate, thanks in part to key contributions from Davide Frattesi. The semifinal against Barcelona provided significant drama, featuring a 3-3 draw away before a wild 4-3 victory in Milan (7-6 aggregate), again with Frattesi playing a crucial role.
Lineup Questions
A key question revolves around the fitness of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. His arrival from Napoli significantly enhanced PSG`s attack, providing dynamic interchangeability with Dembele. He missed the Coupe de France final due to injury, and although back in training, his readiness for 100% performance is uncertain. Coach Luis Enrique must decide whether to start him or opt for another player like Bradley Barcola, potentially impacting PSG`s attacking threat from the start.
Predicted Lineups
Paris Saint-Germain:
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Ousmane Dembele, Deserie Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Inter Milan:
Yann Sommer, Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram
Player to Watch
Ousmane Dembele, Paris Saint-Germain: Consistently one of the top performers in 2025, Dembele presents a major challenge for Inter`s defense. He has contributed significantly with 24 goals and six assists across all competitions this calendar year and has the opportunity to score in a career-defining moment. Previously hampered by injuries, PSG has kept him fit, allowing him to excel as a central figure leading their attack.
Storyline to Watch
Treble chasing: Having already secured Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France, PSG has the chance to complete a historic treble. Achieving this would make them the first team since Manchester City in 2022-23 to do so, and coach Luis Enrique would remarkably achieve this feat for a second time, having previously done it with Barcelona. Beyond chasing their first-ever Champions League title, PSG`s progress this season, particularly the improvement shown without Kylian Mbappe, has been notable. Many anticipated a rebuilding phase, but Enrique`s leadership has been masterful, with just one match left to cap off an incredible campaign.
Game Prediction
Inter Milan has demonstrated resilience and found answers throughout the tournament, suggesting they will pose a significant challenge to PSG. However, PSG`s ability to create scoring opportunities and take shots from various positions on the field is likely to be the decisive factor. It`s difficult for any defense to cover every angle, and a single well-placed shot could open up the game. Prediction for the Champions League final: PSG 2, Inter 1.
