Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are set to clash in a tantalizing UEFA Champions League final in Munich on Saturday.
Inter Milan defeated FC Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate in a memorable semifinal tie, saving their European campaign with a late equalizer from unlikely scorer Francesco Acerbi. Davide Frattesi would score the winning goal in extra time to send the Nerazurri faithful into a frenzy in Milan, booking their spot in their second UCL final in three years.
Inter are set to play in their seventh Champions League/European Cup final, having won the competition on three occasions. They last played in the final in 2023, losing to treble winners Manchester City. The Italian giants last lifted the trophy in 2009-10, in their own treble season with Jose Mourinho as manager.
The Champions League crown is Inter's only chance at a trophy this season, after giving up the lead to SSC Napoli in the Serie A title race late in the season. Antonio Conte's Napoli sealed the Scudetto over the weekend, breaking hearts on the Internaziole side of Milan.
Inter also fell to city rivals AC Milan in the semifinals of the Coppa Italia in late April, effectively ending their chances at a treble.
Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, defeated Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate to advance to Saturday's grand finale.

Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Arsenal: Player Ratings and Match Highlights
PSG defeated Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate to advance to the Champions League final against Inter Milan on Wednesday evening.
The French club will be playing in the Champions League final for only the second time, having lost to Bayern Munich in Lisbon in 2020. They would become only the second team from France to lift the trophy, joining bitter rivals Olympique de Marseille.
PSG are on the verge of securing the first treble in the club's history, having comfortably conquered Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France this season.
Luis Enrique has been able to rest his key players in recent weeks, having already wrapped up the league title several weeks ago.
Interestingly, Inter and PSG have never faced one another in a competitive setting, but have met in a number of friendlies over the years. The Nerazurri prevailed 2-1 in the last meeting between the two in Tokyo in 2023.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Milan Predictions and Betting Tips for Champions League Final
PSG can become only the second French club to win the Champions League when they face Inter Milan on Saturday.
Paris Saint-Germain Predicted Lineup vs Inter Milan
PSG manager Luis Enrique applauding
Luis Enrique will have a healthy squad at his disposal as he looks to secure the second treble of his coaching career.
In Presnel Kimpembe's season-long absence, William Pacho has emerged as a strong center-back partner for captain Marquinhos, while the full-back duo of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes have been integral to the Parisians' success this season.
Portuguese midfield pair Joao Neves and Vitinha have broken out as two of the best in their position, and should be joined by Euro 2024 MVP Fabian Ruiz on Saturday.
The highly-skilled and lightning-quick Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will surely support Ballon d'Or front-runner Ousmane Dembélé in attack.
Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK) – Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, William Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Inter Milan Predicted Lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain
Simone Inzaghi Inter
Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi is likely to pick a squad identical to the one that defeated Barcelona in the final four.
The proven back-three of Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni will patrol the area in front of Yann Sommer. Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will attempt to control the middle of the park, with Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco providing the width.
Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez will make up the strike partnership, as they have for the majority of the season for Inter.
Inter Milan predicted lineup (3-5-2): Yann Sommer (GK) – Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni – Denzel Dumfries, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco – Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.
