PSG
PSG’s path to the final has been filled with drama. After finishing 15th in the league phase and squeezing through on goal difference, the French side have raised their game considerably in the knockout stages.
Football betting sites are now considering them favourites to beat Inter Milan on Sunday morning at Allianz Arena.
It has been a team effort for the Parisians, but Gianluigi Donnarumma deserves a shoutout for his incredible saves.
An unyielding presence in goal, the Italian keeper stood tall when it mattered most — thwarting Liverpool from the spot and frustrating Arsenal in the semis to drive PSG’s charge to the final.
Team News: Ousmane Dembele was only fit enough for the bench in the second leg against Arsenal, but he should be able to start the final.
Predicted Lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
Inter Milan
Inter Milan head to Munich after narrowly losing out on the Serie A title. However, Simone Inzaghi’s men will be motivated by the belief that winning the Champions League could wash that pain away.
The Nerazzurri have shown a great balance of attacking flair and composure to survive the knockout stages. They have outclassed European elites Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the last two rounds, and will fancy their chances against a PSG side that never tasted UCL glory.
Lautaro Martinez played through pain in the second leg against Barcelona, but he still managed to score the crucial opener for his team. The Inter captain will be eager to put on another resilient performance against PSG and take the trophy to San Siro for the first time in 15 years.
Team News: Martinez, Davide Frattesi, Benjamin Pavard and Henrik Mkhitaryan should be cleared to feature in the final.
Predicted Lineup: Jorgensen; James, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Dewsbury-Hall; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
