European soccer heavyweights clash in Champions League final
Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain will meet at the UEFA Champions League final in Munich on Saturday to compete for club soccer's most prestigious trophy. For the Parisian team, a victory would cement the squad in the pantheon of soccer royalty. Paris Saint-Germain, colloquially known as PSG, was once mediocrity personified. Before 2011, the team languished in the French soccer league Ligue 1 and twice narrowly escaped relegation to a lower division. But 14 years ago, everything changed. Qatar Sports Investments, a state-backed subsidiary of Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, bought the team and injected billions of dollars. Superstars like Zlatan Ibrahimović and David Beckham joined in the early days of PSG's new era. More recently, the Qatari cash brought in the tantalizing trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé. In the 14 seasons since the new ownership took hold, PSG has dominated its domestic league, winning Ligue 1 11 times. espite clobbering the competition in France, a Champions League title has always evaded PSG. It was close in 2020, losing to German giant Bayern Munich in the final. Failure to bring home that trophy led neutral fans to dismiss its merits. PSG has long been considered the rich kid on the field, with fancy cleats but without the play to back it up. Then came the summer of 2023, when PSG began its transformation. Messi and Neymar departed the French capital, with Mbappe soon following their lead. In came Spanish tactician Luis Enrique, who implemented a cultural revolution. Gone were the days of superstar players and a reliance on individual skill and big moments to carry the team to victory. Cue young, tenacious talent who weren't as recognizable to fair-weather fans but were willing to graft and play as a team. Out went the world's most recognized soccer name, Messi. In came the less sexy Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who's last name haunts soccer commentators around the globe. "I think that the team has grown and reached an even higher level than what we were expecting," Enrique said in an interview with his club on Monday. "We all want to make history and to win Paris Saint-Germain's first-ever Champions League," he added. Standing in the way of PSG's unprecedented success is a member of soccer's old guard, Inter Milan. Unlike PSG, Inter is more used to soccer's biggest stage, taking home the European championship three times in its vaunted history, most recently in 2010. Its last appearance in a Champions League final was just three seasons ago. Despite his club's comfort in the limelight, its coach, Italian Simone Inzaghi, isn't underestimating the competition. "PSG is an excellent team with incredibly strong players. They have quality, a coach who has instilled clear playing principles," the manager said at a press conference on Monday. "We will prepare as best as we can, knowing it will take a great Inter performance to win." Inter will need to pull itself up from its bootstraps on Saturday after heartbreak a week ago. The Italian juggernaut narrowly missed out on winning its domestic league, pushing rivals Napoli to the brink and missing out on the Serie A championship, referred to as the "scudetto," by just one point. But it'll be bolstered by the health of its captain and talisman, Argentine Lautaro Martínez. The 27-year-old World Cup winner is Inter's leading goal scorer this season in the Champions League, with nine goals in 14 matches. Known for his tenacity and nicknamed "El Toro," Martínez shocked Barcelona in the semifinals by playing through injury and notching the opening goal in the second leg. Nearly a month later, Inzaghi said his star player was fit and raring to go despite not playing in Inter's final game of the Italian season. But Inter isn't reliant on just its star player. Like PSG, Inter leaned on teamwork and organization to propel its success this season. Throughout all competitions, all 21 of Inter's outfield players have scored a goal, a nearly unprecedented statistic in modern soccer. Inzaghi believes that cooperation and camaraderie are what make his squad special this year. "I like the way they stick together on the pitch: the joy in victories and the tears in defeats," Inzaghi said of his team. "In the final, there's no room for mistakes. … We'll need intensity, determination and all the qualities this team has shown throughout our journey."

PSG and Inter set for a historic first-ever final
This Saturday, May 31, 2025, the Allianz Arena in Munich becomes the epicenter of European football with the grand final of the UEFA Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Inter Milan are battling for a title that represents not only continental glory, but also recognition for the work of two very different yet equally ambitious projects. PSG, under the leadership of Luis Enrique, has undergone a radical transformation. After years of frustrated attempts led by stars like Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé, the Parisian club opted this season for a profound renewal. Advertisement With a more collective approach and young talents such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, and Désiré Doué, the French side has shown surprising maturity on their way to the final. The path was not easy for PSG. They faced and eliminated European giants such as Manchester City in the quarterfinals, Liverpool in the round of 16, and Arsenal in the semifinals. Luis Enrique, who already knows what it's like to win this tournament (he did it with Barcelona in 2015), has managed to give the team a clear identity: high pressing, quick transitions, and enviable tactical cohesion. On the other side of the pitch will be Inter Milan, a club with a rich history in European competitions. The Italians are playing their seventh Champions League final, with three previous titles to their name (1964, 1965, and 2010). Advertisement Simone Inzaghi's team has proven to be a solid and experienced unit, with a strong defense and an attack led by Lautaro Martínez, one of the tournament's top scorers. Inter reached this stage after knocking out Bayern Munich and Atlético de Madrid. The security provided by Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer, combined with the performances of key players like Nicolò Barella, Federico Dimarco, and Denzel Dumfries, has turned the Nerazzurri into a formidable opponent. Both teams arrive with similar statistics: PSG has played 31 matches this season, with 16 wins, 10 draws, and 5 losses, while Inter has 14 wins, 10 draws, and only 3 losses in 33 games. Advertisement This will be the first time PSG and Inter face each other in a European final, making this match a completely new chapter for both clubs. If PSG manages to prevail, it will be their first Champions League and would mark a turning point in their history. For Inter, on the other hand, it would be confirmation of their resurgence among the elite of European football after years of ups and downs. With the stadium packed to capacity, millions of viewers around the world, and two contrasting styles of play, the final promises high emotions and a new European champion. Will PSG's renewed youth prevail, or will Inter's experience win out? Advertisement This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
