Paris Saint-Germain have had a rollercoaster season in the Champions League. After a poor start to the league phase, where they picked up just four points from their opening five matches, it looked as if they would be heading for an early exit.
But the French giants managed to buck their ideas up and won three consecutive matches to finish 16th and qualify for the knockout phase. They have been one of the most impressive teams in the competition ever since, beating Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to reach the final.
The only team now stopping them from becoming champions of Europe for the first time are Inter Milan. The two sides will go head-to-head at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Saturday evening.

Luis Enrique Won't Speak to Jamie Carragher
Carragher has revealed why

Luis Enrique deserves a lot of credit for PSG's success. After losing Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer last season, PSG weren't expected to challenge for Europe's premier cup competition. However, the Spanish manager has built an incredible team and they have got even better despite losing one of the best players in world football.
Ahead of the final, CBS Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has revealed that Enrique is refusing to speak to him right now. He has explained why, and it's all due to his actions during and after PSG's defeat against Borussia Dortmund last season.
PSG made the semi-finals in last season's competition but were beaten by Dortmund. Carragher watched the first leg alongside Dortmund's supporters in their famous Yellow Wall at the Signal Iduna Park. His actions after the game didn't go down well with Enrique.
Carragher told the It's Called Soccer podcast: "Luis Enrique, at the moment, won't speak to us.
"Because last season, I was in Dortmund when his team lost to Borussia Dortmund - PSG lost - and I was in the mixed zone with a Borussia Dortmund scarf on, so that didn't go down particularly well with Luis."
Peter Schmeichel even revealed at the time that Enrique walked into a room with them and said hello, only to leave shortly after seeing Carragher. The Dane said, per the Mirror:
"In all seriousness, he's in the sin bin. Seriously, he's upset every person here. First of all, were supposed to have Luis Enrique. And he came in and said, 'hello' and then he left because Jamie was wearing a Dortmund scarf.

"Then because we took Jadon Sancho in, the press officer from Dortmund got a bit cross with us because that was not on the list. We've been very naughty. And I hope it's been good content."
Enrique has spoken to CBS' pitch-side reporters before and after matches this season, but not to Carragher. Whether he forgives Carragher and speaks to him after the Champions League final remains to be seen.
