UEFA Champions League Final 2025 Live Score: PSG Eyeing History, As Inter Look To Extend Legacy
Champions League Final 2025 Live Score: In search of history, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will face each other tonight in the Champions League final, at the Allianz Arena in Munich. PSG is aiming to win the prestigious European club football title for the first time, while Inter is seeking its fourth title. The match will take place at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, which has a capacity of 75,000, and is set to kick off at 9:00 pm (1900 GMT). Inter brings experience to the game, while PSG is making their second appearance in the final since the club's transformative Qatari takeover in 2011. Excitement is at a fever pitch in Paris, where around 40,000 fans will watch on giant screens at PSG's Parc des Princes stadium, and a significant police presence is planned throughout the city. The European season's climax presents a fascinating clash of styles and team-building philosophies—between a traditional European powerhouse and a modern state-owned superclub. Despite heavy investment, PSG has yet to win the Champions League, with their closest attempt being in 2020 when they lost to Bayern in Lisbon during the pandemic. Under Spanish coach Luis Enrique, a dynamic young PSG side has taken Europe by storm in recent months. A comeback win in January against 2023 champions Manchester City acted as a catalyst. PSG then knocked out three more Premier League sides – Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal – on their way to the final and secured a French league and cup double. Ousmane Dembele has been their star player with 33 goals, supported by forwards Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, and January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Inter was the last Italian team to win, with Jose Mourinho's side defeating Bayern in Madrid in 2010. They also won the title twice in the 1960s. Coach Simone Inzaghi was in charge when Inter reached the final two years ago but narrowly lost to City. Eight players from that team might start again, and the experienced lineup features three players aged 36 or over. Inter beat Bayern in the quarter-finals and overcame Barcelona in a thrilling semi-final. Remarkably, this is the first competitive encounter between the two teams. While fans flocked to Munich on Friday, fan zones have been set up in three locations around Paris beyond PSG's stadium. More than 5,000 police officers will be deployed in the city and its suburbs during the final, following violence after PSG's semi-final win against Arsenal. In Milan, tens of thousands of fans will also watch the game at Inter's San Siro stadium.

Revealed: How Man United and Arsenal flop can make European history in Champions League final
Henrikh Mkhitaryan can etch his name in the history books of European football after Saturday's Champions League final. Inter Milan face PSG in the showpiece event at the Allianz Arena, the latter of whom seek to life the title for the first time ever. Meanwhile, Inter bid to win their fourth in club history. Mkhitaryan has been instrumental in leading the Italian giants to the final, having created the third-most chances of any Inter player throughout the tournament. Not to mention, the 36-year-old has started seven of his side's last eight Champions League games, and has been operated reliably in the five-man midfield of Simone Inzaghi's 3-5-2 setup. Wind back the clock some six years ago and it was all doom and gloom for Mkhitaryan; he watched from home as his former club Arsenal suffered a 4-1 humiliation against Chelsea in the 2019 Europa League final. But the Armenian maestro has enjoyed his football this decade and has breathed new life into his career in Italy. Tonight in Munich, Germany, he has the chance to complete the trifecta of European titles. Having won both the Europa League and the Europa Conference League under Jose Mourinho - in 2017 with Manchester United and 2022 with Roma - Mkhitaryan is yet to lift just one of the three continental trophies. And ahead of tonight's final, the midfielder stressed the importance of experience - but not just his own. Former Man United stars Matteo Darmian and Romelu Lukaku are also veterans of the game and have the chance to stamp their experience down against a young Barcelona side.

Champions League final – Paris Saint-Germain v Inter: live
Update: Date: 2025-05-31T17:00:01.000Z Title: Preamble Content: The two clubs contesting the 70th European Cup / Champions League final are cut from very different types of cloth. Internazionale are European royalty, the defensive masters of the mid-Sixties under Helenio Herrera, the similarly staunch usurpers of 2010 under Jose Mourinho, six-time finalists across the ages. Herrera's team were known as La Grande Inter, which gives us some idea of status. Paris Saint-Germain are parvenus by comparison: the club were minus six years old when La Grande Inter were winning their first European Cup. Just the one unsuccessful appearance in the final for PSG, whose main mark on the competition to date has been historic collapses in earlier rounds. But times change, and they're the favourites today. The teams themselves are a study in contrast too. PSG are a gang of thrusting young bucks: Désiré Doué and Warren Zaïre-Emery are 19, João Neves 20, Bradley Barcola 22, Willian Pacho 23, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia 24. Inter's average age is 31, with 37-year-old Francesco Acerbi at the back and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in midfield a sprightly 36. PSG were crowned French champions nearly two months ago and have been able to grab some R&R since then; Inter are smarting from their failure to win Serie A just last week. Yep, PSG are the favourites today all right. But then look what Inter did to hotly-tipped Barcelona in the semis, and tonight's final in Munich is very much up for grabs. Will Inter win their fourth title? Or will PSG finally get their name on the biggest prize of all, ascending to become European royalty at long last? Kick-off is at 9pm in Munich, 8pm BST. It's on!
