The stage is set for the grand finale of the 2025 UEFA Champions League as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) take on Inter Milan at the iconic Allianz Arena in Munich on May 31.
It’s a clash of ambition and legacy, as PSG chases its first-ever title, while Inter Milan eyes a fourth crown to cement their European pedigree. This final brings together two sides who’ve taken very different paths but are equally deserving of their spot in Munich.
PSG, under the leadership of Luis Enrique, has turned on the style this season. After clinching the domestic treble in France, they’ve carried that momentum into Europe. They defeated a formidable lineup of English clubs, including Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal, showcasing resilience and flair.
With Ousmane Dembele pulling strings on the wing, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia tormenting defenses, and teenage sensation Désiré Doué shining in the midfield, PSG have been Europe’s most exciting side in this campaign.
Inter Milan, meanwhile, has taken the gritty route. Simone Inzaghi’s men are masters of control, with tactical discipline at the core of their success. They edged out Bayern Munich and Feyenoord before delivering a late comeback against Barcelona in the semis. Even amid boardroom financial turmoil, their performances have spoken volumes. Inter’s strength lies in their defensive organization and the big-match experience of veterans like Nicolò Barella and Lautaro Martínez.
Head-to-Head in the Champions League Final
While PSG and Inter have never met in a Champions League final before, their individual records in the competition offer some insight into what’s at stake.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)
- Final appearances: 1
- Best result: Runner-up (2020, lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich)
Inter Milan
- Final appearances: 6
- Champions: 1964, 1965, 2010
- Runner-up: 1967, 1972, 2023 (lost 1-0 to Manchester City)

Top Betting Tips
- PSG to win in 90 minutes – Based on form and attacking threat, PSG are tipped to get the job done without extra time.
- Both teams to score – With the firepower both teams possess, we’ll likely see goals at both ends.
- Under 2.5 goals – History suggests a cagey final. Five of the last seven finals have ended with a score of under three goals.
What’s at Stake?
For PSG, this is about redemption. Since the 2020 heartbreak, they’ve retooled their squad, matured tactically, and built one of Europe’s most cohesive attacking units. A win would finally validate years of Qatari investment and put their name among Europe’s elite.
For Inter Milan, this is an opportunity to restore their glory. Their last win came in 2010 under José Mourinho, and though they lost last year’s final, the Nerazzurri have shown they’re ready to compete again on the biggest stage.
The 2025 Champions League final promises a dramatic, high-stakes contest between two European giants with contrasting histories and playing styles. Expect fireworks from PSG and control from Inter, but ultimately, only one will lift the most coveted trophy in club football.
Prediction: PSG 2-1 Inter Milan. With flair, form, and a point to prove, this might finally be PSG’s year.
