PSG vs Inter Milan LIVE SCORE, UEFA Champions League final: Dembele, Lautaro in starting XI; Kick off at 12:30 AM IST
WHY WILL INTER WEAR A GOLD JERSEY FOR THE FINAL?
Inter Milan will dress for the occasion by wearing its third, golden yellow kit in Saturday's Champions League final when it faces Paris St Germain.
Inter has played in six Champions League/European Cup finals to date, the first in 1964, and has never used its third kit in the showpiece match so far.
Since the Parisians are designated as the home team in the final, they will wear their first-choice kit - navy blue shorts and shirts with a white and red stripe in the centre - so Inter cannot play in its classic black and blue striped jerseys.
The Italians, however, did not opt for their second strip -white shirts with blue details - choosing to wear the third kit instead, a golden yellow shirt with black details and black shorts.
There may be superstition involved as Simone Inzaghi's side won both of their games in Europe's elite club competition when playing in yellow this term, January's 1-0 win at Sparta Prague and a 2-0 last-16 first-leg victory at Feyenoord in March.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka survived A scare in the first set before battling past 16th-seed Amanda Anisimova 7-5, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals.

Iga Swiatek Elina Svitolina Aryna Sabalenka Someone else 'I tried to stick to my game plan, stayed in the match, kept fighting, kept doing aggressive things on the court, to find opportunities to get back in the match,' said Svitolina, whose daughter Skai will be three in October. 'Jasmine played really well in the first set, second set as well. We were really close. I knew that I had to try to give myself a chance to come back into the match and just leave it all there.' In the quarterfinals on Tuesday, Svitolina will go up against the 24-year-old Swiatek, who authored a dramatic comeback against Elena Rybakina. The Pole said in the 35-minute opening set, where the Kazakh dropped just two points on her first serve, she felt like she was playing world No.1 Jannik Sinner. Swiatek, who trailed by a set and was down 0-2 in the second, made some tactical changes to her play, stepping back on Rybakina's serve. That gave the 24-year-old a couple of extra seconds, helping her work her way back to claim a 1-6, 6-3, 7-5 win.

Manas, 17, led 4-1, 30-0 in the first set, but saw his opponent wade right in, winning six of the next seven games to seal the set. The 1-hour 41-minute match was a high-quality affair, but the American displayed greater consistency and was sharper in working his way around the court. While both players pushed 190 kmph on their first serves, it was Manas who had greater purchase with pace, but Ronit, strong on the return, created a dozen breakpoint opportunities.

Macron On Violence In Paris After PSG's UCL Win: 'Nothing Can Justify...'
Last Updated: French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence after PSG's UEFA Champions League win, which led to two deaths and 600 arrests. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the 'unacceptable" violence that erupted during celebrations following Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League final victory, as he welcomed the victorious team to the Élysée Palace on Sunday. 'Nothing can justify the violent clashes that occurred in the last few hours," Macron stated. 'We will pursue, we will punish, we will be relentless," he added before congratulating the players on their win. Two people died, and police arrested nearly 600 individuals across France overnight as fans celebrated PSG's 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan in Munich on Saturday. 'The violent clashes are unacceptable and have resulted in a heavy toll: two people are dead, around 30 police officers and several firefighters were injured," Macron said. 'My thoughts are also with the police officer in Coutances who is currently in a coma," he added, referring to the town in western France where a police officer was struck in the eye by a firework. Macron hosted PSG coach Luis Enrique and his team after their victory parade on the Champs-Élysées avenue, thanking the players for their swift condemnation of the violence. 'These isolated acts are contrary to the club's values and do not represent the vast majority of our supporters, whose exemplary behaviour throughout the season deserves praise," the club said on Sunday. Macron also congratulated the team for their 'sublime" victory over Inter Milan. 'You are the champions and you have put Paris at the top of Europe," he said. 'There were 11 of you on the field, but there was clearly a twelfth man – the entire French public, regardless of traditional allegiances," Macron said, referring to his own loyalty to PSG's rival club, Olympique de Marseille. It was the first time PSG had won the biggest prize in European club football. Many of the team's stars, comprising one of the youngest sides in the competition, are drawn from the vast football talent pool in the Paris suburbs after PSG's Qatari owners shifted their focus away from signing star players like Neymar and Lionel Messi. A total of 11.5 million people across France tuned in to watch the UEFA Champions Leage final. First Published: June 02, 2025, 07:59 IST
