63'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DOUE PUTS A LOCK ON PSG'S LEAD!!!! Ridiculous play from the Rouge and Blues, just wonderful!

-
46'Underway for the second half!! No changes on either end.
-
45'HT: Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Inter Milan. The Parisians are deservingly ahead after a dominant display in the first period. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Desire Doue doubled eight minutes later. PSG are one step away from glory, but 45 more minutes are coming up for us!
-
45'Kvara heads from the corner, but it goes over the bar. Not far off!
-
45'Kvara's shot looked to have been heading towards the bottom-right corner, but it goes wide after a Dumfries deflection. Corner for PSG!

12'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HAKIMI FIRES PSG IN FRONT!! Majestic play from the Parisians. Vitinha slips for Doue, who spins before serving Hakmi alone in the middle, and all the Moroccan has to do is tap it home from six yards. 1-0 and it had been coming!
-
11'Dembele was in a good position! The Frenchman cut inside from the right, but his shot lacked any real power. Easy save for Sommer.
-
10'Glimpses of Inter in attack with Thuram, but PSG's defence quickly shut it down and won the ball back.
-
10'First shot on target for PSG! Doue hits from range, but Sommer gets down to shield the ball in his arm.

Start of match
-
PRVWPlayers exit the tunnel and take the field, here we goooooooooooo!
-
PRVWAcerbi is going to play in the same boots he scored his famous equaliser against Barcelona. A lucky hole for the Italian defender?
-
PRVWLess than 30 minutes separate us from the Champions League final! Any predictions for this one?
-
PRVWTeams are lining up as predicted, with the only difference for PSG being that Desire Doue starts over Bradley Barcola on the wing.
-
PRVWOn the bench for Simone Inzaghi's side: Di Gennaro, Martinez, De Vrij, Zielinski, Arnautovic, Frattesi, Asllani, Augusto, Bisseck, Darmian, Zalewski, Taremi.
-
PRVWInter Milan's starting XI (3-5-2): Sommer (GK); Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
-
PRVWOn the bench for Luios Enrique's side: Safonov, Tenas, Kimpembe, Ramos, Lee, Hernandez, Mayulu, Barcola, Zaire-Emery, Beraldo, Mbaye.
-
PRVWParis Saint-Germain's starting XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma (GK); Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
-
PRVWWe have the confirmed lineups for the Champions League final! Let's see how the teams will line up...
-
PRVWAnd now, it all comes to this. In a contest between one of the continent's old guard and one of the state-owned modern superclubs, who will come out on top?
-
PRVWSommer's miraculous saves against Barcelona in the semis kept the Milan outfit in the game, before Acerbi struck in stoppage-time to force the game into extra-time, where Frattesi scored the winning goal.
-
PRVWDespite their age, the veteran trio proved to be crucial in Inter's run to the final. Mkhitaryan has been the engine in midfield and is on course to complete a European hat-trick after winning the Europa League and Conference League with Manchester United and Roma.
-
PRVWIt's a make-or-break final for the Nerazzurri, given their ageing squad. Three players 36 or older - Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Yann Sommer and Francesco Acerbi - will feature for Inter tonight in Munich in what could be their last Champions League final.
-
PRVWBut the wind was whipped from their sails by a shocking defeat against the Rossoneri to end their domestic trophy run, followed by Napoli's Serie A title triumph on the final day, leaving the Champions League their only remaining option for a trophy.
-
PRVWInter looked capable of winning the treble after eliminating Bayern in the quarter-finals last month, with a handy three-point lead over Scudetto rivals Napoli and an Italian Cup semi-final against ailing AC Milan.
-
PRVWIt would be Inzaghi's first Champions League of his career. After winning nine trophies in nine seasons as a manager, including the Serie A, Italian Super Cup and Coppa Italia, Europe's elite club competition is the one thing the Italian coach has been missing to take him among the best in the business.
-
PRVWBut he will contest this weekend's showdown with Qatari-backed PSG with potentially a better chance of winning the Champions League than he did in Istanbul in 2023, when Inter were narrowly beaten by possibly Pep Guardiola's best-ever Manchester City team.
-
PRVWThe 48-year-old has had to navigate off-field turbulence and serious financial problems, which have left Inter with a transfer budget which is a fraction of what nouveau riche clubs like their opponents.
-
PRVWInter have become one of Europe's top teams under Inzaghi and reaching the final of the continent's leading club competition for the second time in three seasons is a testament to the impressive job he has done since taking charge in 2021.
-
PRVWBut Paris Saint-Germain are not the only hungry side led by a top coach, because on the other end there is Simone Inzaghi.
-
PRVWIn defence is skipper Marquinhos, who will play his 25th career final tonight. The Brazilian is PSG's most decorated player with 34 trophies, but the Champions League is the one missing jewel from his stacked crown.
-
PRVWPSG's midfield three sees Vitinha and Joao Neves team up with Fabian Ruiz, the elegant Spaniard whose tireless work rate can almost go unnoticed. Vitinha makes the team tick and is the designated penalty taker, while the energetic Neves starts the press and is also surprisingly useful in the air.
-
PRVWOthers like Achraf Hakimi, formerly of Inter and perhaps the world's best full-back, and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma have also been superb this term.
-
PRVWEnrique's silent revolution opened the door for an exciting young Paris side that has taken Europe by storm. Ousmane Dembele has been the standout with 33 goals in all competitions, ably assisted by fellow forwards Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola and January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
-
PRVWBut, it turns out, PSG really are better without Mbappe, and Luis Enrique deserves huge credit for that. While the Frenchman will sit on the sofa to watch tonight's final, the former Barcelona coach will be on the touchline, looking to guide his side towards glory.
-
PRVW"If everything goes well, I'm convinced we'll have a much better team than this year," Luis Enrique said in February 2024. It was hard to believe at the time, even less so after PSG opted last summer not to sign a new striker.
-
PRVWBut Kylian Mbappe's departure to Real Madrid the next summer was something that had several fans fearing for the future of the club. Yet the manager kept insisting PSG would be better without their all-time top scorer.
-
PRVWLast year they still reached the semi-finals in Europe before losing to Borussia Dortmund - with a domestic league and cup double also in the bag, it was a promising start for the new coach.
-
PRVWThe PSG job appeared something of a poisoned chalice, with his predecessors unable to deliver the success in the Champions League that the club's Qatari owners desired.
-
PRVWEnrique was appointed in July 2023, six months after he was sacked by Spain and just after Lionel Messi left the French side following an underwhelming two-year spell. Neymar then departed later that summer.
-
PRVWIt could be Luis Enrique's night in Munich. The Asturian coach could earn a second career Champions League and treble, the latter would make him the only one to do so, alongside Pep Guardiola.
-
PRVWHowever, led by Luis Enrique, PSG have grown into a real dominant force this term and could go on to complete a treble after sealing a domestic double with the Ligue 1 and French Cup.
-
PRVWLooking at the two sides' roads towards the final would suggest that Inter have the edge over PSG, having beaten tournament favourites Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, respectively.
-
PRVWMeanwhile, Inter are three-time winners of Europe's elite club competition and have the opportunity to lift their fourth after failing to do so in 2023, when they surrendered to Manchester City (1-0) in Istanbul.
-
PRVWThe Parisians have never tasted Champions League glory, going closest in the 2020 final after a 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in Lisbon.
-
PRVWJust over three hours to go until kick-off, and things are heating up in Munich. Who will come out on top? Will it be Inter's experience-filled side or PSG's young and motivated squad?
-
PRVWInter Milan's possible starting XI (3-5-2): Sommer (GK); Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
-
PRVWParis Saint-Germain's possible starting XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma (GK); Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
-
PRVWLet's immediately look at the possible lineups for the showdown before we delve into the build-up to the game!
