PSG vs Inter: How to Watch the Champions League Final on a Free Channel
This Saturday, we'll witness the 2025 Champions League final. After many tough battles on the pitch, PSG and Inter Milan will face off at the Allianz Arena in Munich. If you're looking to watch PSG vs. Inter Milan on a free channel, you're in luck. The match will be broadcast worldwide. After all, it's a major event. However, it will mostly be available on premium channels and streaming services, which, as you probably know, can be expensive for the average soccer (or football) fan. Today's free channel is all you need to stream PSG vs. Inter Milan online in high resolution, without missing a single pass or goal! Date and time Saturday, May 31st, at 9:00 PM CET / 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT Free channels that broadcast the Final RTÉ (Ireland) / M6 (France) / SRF (Switzerland) Watch the match from anywhere with NordVPN Which free channel is broadcasting PSG vs Inter? People in Ireland should be happy they have RTÉ. RTÉ is a local Irish TV channel known for excellent content and sports coverage. Its online version, so to speak, is called RTÉ Player ( and it'll broadcast the match. There are a couple of great things about it — and a few bad. First, the good ones. This channel is completely free, so you don't need to subscribe or even register an account. Moreover, the PSG vs Inter Milan free live stream will be in English and Full HD, which ensures immersion. Now, the bad thing is that RTÉ Player works only in Ireland. It limits people from abroad and prevents them from watching PSG vs Inter Milan on this free channel. However, some smart people online came up with a simple method. One that would allow them to unblock RTÉ abroad. How to Watch the PSG vs Inter Milan Champions League Final Online for Free Some people have detected that VPN services can unblock restricted content. NordVPN, as the most popular pick, quickly came to many people's minds. It's easy to see why. First, it offers a vibrant array of Irish VPN servers. Watch PSG vs Inter Milan Live With NordVPN Another benefit is unlimited bandwidth; crucial for uninterrupted streaming. NordVPN, being very prevalent, is great at providing top speeds, thanks to 10 Gbps servers. All of this made it an obvious choice for avid soccer fans. NordVPN works like any other VPN. It routes the user's connection through an intermediary server in another country. A 'side-effect' is that the user takes on an IP address from that server. Let's say this is a server in Ireland. In this case, the user will have an Irish IP address. This will trick RTÉ Player into 'thinking' the user is in Ireland. The outcome will be full access to the free channel that streams PSG vs Inter Milan no matter the user's original location. It's vital to point out that the VPN works on all devices, which allows for effortless streaming even on the go. NordVPN isn't free, by default, but it does have a 30-day money-back guarantee. This essentially allows you to get the VPN, watch PSG vs Inter Milan live, and claim a full refund from NordVPN when the match is over. More information can be found in our article explaining how to take advantage of a 30-day free trial with NordVPN. How to Watch PSG vs Inter Milan Online in the USA The United States is home to some of the priciest streaming platforms. This especially rings true for sports-oriented options like ESPN Plus, TNT Sports, Sling TV, and many others. Speaking of which, some of them will broadcast PSG vs Inter Milan online, albeit, for a price. Sling TV . Its Orange and Blue packages contain TNT Sports, where the match will be streamed live. However, the starting price is a whopping $45.99/mo , with no free trial or refund policy. Keep in mind it also works only in the US, and a VPN can help you access it abroad, but not for sign-ups that need a US credit card. .

Keep in mind it also works only in the US, and a VPN can help you access it abroad, but not for sign-ups that need a US credit card. ESPN Plus . It's another US-exclusive platform that costs $11.99/mo or $119.99 for a year . You can buy it directly or have it bundled with another streaming service. ESPN Plus can be accessed abroad with a VPN, as well. However, its steep prices and the lack of a free trial make it a poor option for this scenario. . It's another US-exclusive platform that costs . You can buy it directly or have it bundled with another streaming service. ESPN Plus can be accessed abroad with a VPN, as well. However, its steep prices and the lack of a free trial make it a poor option for this scenario. Paramount Plus . The Essential plan starts at $12.99/mo or $120 a year. It's far from affordable, and like the others, it doesn't include a money-back guarantee. Being region-locked to the US, you'll still need a Paramount+ VPN overseas. That said, it's not too convenient compared to RTÉ Player. How to Watch PSG vs Inter Milan in the UK Will you be in the UK during the Champions League final? In that case, you can rely on Discovery Plus, which happens to live-stream the match in UHD on its extensive platform. Discovery Plus isn't too expensive in this country and starts at £3.99 a month or £39.99 a year. There's a catch! To watch PSG vs Inter Milan live in the UK, you'll need a Premium plan with TNT Sports at £30.99 a month. Discovery+ doesn't provide NordVPN-like conditions, so money spent is money you've lost forever. If you have an account, you won't mind the cost — you parted with your money a long time ago. If not, keep in mind that Discovery+ won't let you register without a UK credit card. Oh, and it also won't work abroad without a VPN. Is the Match Available in Canada? Yes, the Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan is being broadcast in Canada, but not on a free channel. Instead, you'll have to use DAZN Canada as your official broadcaster. The monthly price is CAD 24.99, while the annual plan is CAD 199.99. DAZN is a great option for Full HD streaming and English commentary. However, the price tag might not suit everyone's pockets, especially with RTÉ Player in the game, which offers the same 'treatment' for free. DAZN also won't refund your purchase, so don't expect your money back after the match. Final Words A spectacle like the Champions League final is not to be missed. It's easy to watch—just tune in to RTÉ Player from anywhere with the help of a VPN like NordVPN, grab a beer or some popcorn, and cheer your favorite team to victory. If RTÉ Player won't do it for you, there are ample options in the UK, the US, and Canada. As long as you're okay with their heftier upfront costs and unavailability in some regions, they're completely viable for sports live-streaming. Try NordVPN Risk-Free Now

Sisters of victim of Ireland's first serial killers break silence and demand justice
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Elizabeth Plunkett was just 23 years of age when she was murdered by Ireland's first serial killers almost 50 years ago. Career criminals John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans from Lancashire left the UK and travelled around Ireland in the summer of 1976, resolving to kill one woman a week. They had only recently been released from prison when they abducted and brutally raped Elizabeth before murdering her. They later told gardai their intention was to "kidnap, rape and kill one woman a week" for as long as they could get away with it. Their killing spree ended with the murder of Elizabeth and cook Mary Duffy, 24, in Co Mayo. They were both handed life sentences in February 1978. Shockingly, despite Englishman Shaw confessing to the brutal killing of Elizabeth in August 1976 along with his now deceased partner-in-crime Geoffrey Evans, the pair were never actually convicted of her murder. The DPP at the time decided only to prosecute them for another murder, of Mary Duffy. Ms Plunkett, from Ringsend in Dublin, was raped, strangled and her body was tied to a lawnmower, before being rowed out to sea at Brittas Bay in Co Wicklow. Her remains were found on Duncormick beach in Co Wexford four weeks later. Now, for the first time Elizabeth's sisters Bernie and Kathleen are speaking out as they seek justice for Elizabeth, through RTÉ's latest podcast series, Stolen Sister, presented by Roz Purcell. This is the first time that any of Elizabeth's family have spoken about her death publicly. They're determined to get justice for her and restore some dignity to Elizabeth's memory. "We had tried every avenue, everything," Bernie says on the podcast. "We appealed and appealed and appealed. We went to the DPP, they said no, the Garda Commissioner said no and we went to the State solicitor's office," said Bernie. "This is our last resort, breaking our silence." Stolen Sister begins with the story of Elizabeth and how she fell in love with her boyfriend Damien. After spending a holiday together in France, the couple decided to meet friends for a night away in Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow on August 28, 1976. When Elizabeth waved goodbye to her mother that afternoon, nobody knew that it would be the last time her family would see her. The pals gathered in a pub in Brittas for drinks but a disagreement broke out and Elizabeth ended up leaving the pub. Meanwhile, Shaw and Evans had left Fethard in Tipperary where they were laying low following their release from prison for robberies and had driven to Dublin to collect suitcases belonging to Evans. They later decided to drive to Brittas to "break into some caravans." But, their real intention, which they admitted to gardai was to "kidnap, rape and kill one woman a week" until they were caught - a garda interview recording of the pair revealed during the podcast. They admitted to gardai they drove around "on the lookout" for women. Later that night, as Elizabeth left the pub in Brittas alone, she was abducted and brutally raped and murdered by Shaw and Evans. A month after Elizabeth was attacked her body washed up on a beach in Co Wexford. Following a nationwide manhunt, her attackers were both arrested but not before they killed a second Irish woman, 23-year-old Mary Duffy. The two murderers Shaw and Evans received life sentences in prison. No one was ever convicted of the murder of Elizabeth Plunkett despite both men confessing to her murder. Documentary maker Nicoline Greer said: "It's been an honour to be able to tell Elizabeth's story and for the Plunkett family to have trusted us to tell it. When Kathleen and Bernie first came to us, I never could have imagined how far this story would take us. "Over the last year, I feel I have come to know Elizabeth and I hope that this series can go some way to restoring some justice and dignity to Elizabeth and the Plunkett family." Following a verdict of unlawful killing in January at her inquest, Ms Plunkett's family called on the Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to reopen the case and resubmit a file to the DPP. On January 23, a jury of seven returned a verdict of unlawful killing in Ms Plunkett's case at an inquest at Gorey Courthouse in Co Wexford. Following the verdict, her heartbroken family issued a statement through a solicitor stating they are grateful to the jury for "restoring some dignity to our precious Elizabeth". Following the inquest two weeks ago, family solicitor James MacGuill read out a statement from the family calling on the DPP to prosecute Shaw for his part in her brutal killing. Mr MacGuill said outside Gorey Court: "Elizabeth was hunted down and savagely killed by two men who, less than a month later, went on to murder another woman, Mary Duffy. "Despite these vile criminals confessing to murdering both Elizabeth and Mary, they were only ever convicted of Mary's murder. With this new development, we're calling on Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to reopen the case into Elizabeth's death and submit a new file to the DPP." They added: "Although one culprit died, the other remains in an Irish prison for murdering Mary Duffy. But he also confessed and was charged with falsely imprisoning, raping and murdering our sister Elizabeth – yet the DPP decided against prosecuting him for these crimes by entering a nolle prosequi. We now want the DPP to explain that decision." During the inquest hearing, Detective Inspector Murt Whelan from Wexford Garda Station told how during the course of their detention, Shaw and Evans admitted to being involved in the abduction, rape and murder of Elizabeth Plunkett. Shaw, who with accomplice Evans became known as the State's first serial killers, has been behind bars since September 1976. The twisted killer, who is likely to die in jail because of the severity of his crimes, met Evans in an English prison where they hatched their chilling plot to abduct, torture, rape and murder women. Their killing spree ended with the murder of young clerk Elizabeth Plunkett, 23, in Co Wicklow and cook Mary Duffy, 24, in Co Mayo. They were both handed life sentences in February 1978. Evil Evans spent almost four years in a coma at a Dublin hospital before dying of sepsis in 2012.

Ireland 'need to be miles better' as Ward and McCabe target Slovenia shootout in Cork
HEAD COACH CARLA Ward and captain Katie McCabe say Ireland need to be 'miles better' than tonight's last-gasp rescue win in Türkiye. Emily Murphy bagged the winner in the 89th minute, sparing Irish blushes after another disappointing performance against lower-ranked opposition. But the 2-1 comeback victory kept them in the race for Nations League promotion: Slovenia remain top of Group B2 ahead of a Páirc Uí Chaoimh shootout next Tuesday, where Ireland must win by more than four goals to usurp them and return to League B. The runners-up get another shot in the play-offs in October. 'Listen, that's character. That's an Irish mentality,' Ward told RTÉ's Tony O'Donoghue after tonight's game. 'It was never rolling over, even when we went 1-0 down. We're disappointed with the goal. The reaction after that, the togetherness, the attitude to go and win tackles, close gaps, making sure that we were front-footed, was something that we can be proud of. I actually think winning it like that, at the death, puts us in a good position for Tuesday.' 🇹🇷 1-2 🇮🇪 Carla Ward praised the "character" and "Irish mentality" of her team after they came from behind to win in Turkey but admitted Ireland will need to be a lot better against group leaders Slovenia#UWNL #COYGIG — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) May 30, 2025 Advertisement The former Aston Villa boss said there will be 'honest conversations about how we start bright' as she outlined some improvements required. 'We need to be better. We need to be way better come Tuesday, but most important thing is we got the three points tonight. 'We have to win 5-0 [against Slovenia], right? It's not easy against any team now because women's football is improving in every country. It's going to be tough, but we'll go out there with an attitude, a mindset and belief that anything is possible. The Irish love that, I love that, it's why I took the job.' 'You saw us finish with a lot of attacking players on the pitch, you might see that's the way we start. We certainly will give it absolutely everything,' she added, calling for 'every bit of Irish noise and blood' in Cork. McCabe, meanwhile, echoed her manager's sentiments as she finished a whirlwind week, in which she won the Champions League with Arsenal, with the Player of the Match award in Istanbul. 'We got the result and that's what matters in the end, but from a performance point of view, we have to be miles better going into Tuesday,' the skipper said. 'We didn't move the ball quick enough, we didn't move Türkiye quick enough, and allowed them to get in the game with some sloppy mistakes. We need a massive improvement if we're going to beat Slovenia on Tuesday.' 🇹🇷 1-2 🇮🇪 Ireland captain Katie McCabe: "We got the result and that's what matters in the end but from a performance point of view we have to be miles better going into Tuesday"#UWNL — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) May 30, 2025 McCabe shared her disappointment with the 'cheap' concession early in the second half, and paid tribute to the impact substitutes, including match-winner Murphy, as Ireland laboured to four wins from five under Ward. 'We're trying to do a lot of different things in terms of how we approach games more on the front foot. That takes time. This is our fifth game under Carla and the new management, it's not going to be perfect, but for us from a standards point of view, we have to look to come out of the tracks a little bit sharper.' Putting four goals past Slovenia will be a 'tough ask,' McCabe conceded, but she believes Ireland can do it 'if we're at our absolute best'. The Dubliner also reflected on her European club success, and insists she feels 'really good' after a physically and emotionally draining few days — and season overall. 'It was a massive result for us and the club last week in Lisbon, we were absolutely ecstatic becoming champions. 'Yeah, you enjoy the celebrations, but it was full focus on these two games. I said to Carla when I came in, 'I'm ready to play and give it all for the team.' I feel good going into Tuesday now, another big performance, rest and recover.'

It was only the first of a flurry of lies that would continue right through his court appearances over the past weeks. Barry interviewed and met Satchwell on many occasions and he discusses his impressions of him and what it was like to interview inside the house where he and Tina lived. Orla gives an insight into what it was like attending the trial at the Central Criminal Court over the past five weeks.

Colin Farrell to narrate new RTÉ documentary series about the history of Ireland
The RTÉ series From The Small Island was shot on location in 17 countries, including Ireland, Barbados, Belgium, Singapore, Switzerland, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. It aims to tell the story of the Irish people, with the first episode going back to the ancient Céide Fields and the earliest settlers, including the discovery of the remains of a baby with the Down Syndrome gene who was cared for over 5,000 years ago. The series will also touch on the Viking invasions, the Christianisation of Ireland and the modern day. It will also include the television debut of the face of 'Rathlin Man', a 4,000-year-old ancestor whose face was reconstructed using cutting-edge DNA technology, the history of the first written reference to hurling and forgotten Irish explorers. The programme will also touch on the 'darker chapters of Irish history', from cannibalism and plague to Irish involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. A Mayo-born general who rose through the ranks to lead the Argentinian army will also have his story told alongside the tale of the Irish-language printing press in Leuven, Belgium, and the Longford priest who heard the final confession of King Louis XVI. From That Small Island - The Story of the Irish, which is produced by the team behind 1916: The Irish Rebellion, will premier on Sunday 8 June at 6.30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player. According to the promotional material, the show will answer the questions: 'Who are the Irish? Where did they come from? Why does the world turn green every St Patrick's Day?' It is created by writer and fimmaker Bríona Nic Dhiarmada and directed by Rachael Moriarty and Peter Murphy, while actor Colin Farrell is the narrator. It will also feature an original score from Irish composer Colm Mac Con Iomaire.
