Football News

The upcoming UEFA Champions League final for the 2024-25 season will feature Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain in a highly anticipated match. This encounter is historic as it will be the first time these two football giants have ever competed in an official fixture. The final is scheduled to take place on May 31 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Despite this being their inaugural official clash, Inter and PSG have previously met six times in non-competitive friendly matches over the years. Both clubs reached the final after successful semi-final campaigns; Inter triumphed over Barcelona, while PSG overcame Arsenal.

For Inter Milan, the 2025 final marks their seventh appearance in the Champions League final, having recorded three victories and three defeats in their previous six attempts. In contrast, Paris Saint-Germain is reaching the final for only the second time in their history; their sole prior appearance resulted in a loss to Bayern Munich in 2020. As mentioned, before this official final, the two teams` only encounters were six friendly games, often during pre-season tours. Their most recent friendly meeting occurred at the start of the 2023-24 season during a tour in Japan, where Inter emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, featuring goals from Sebastiano Esposito and Stefano Sensi.
