CLEAR DIFFERENCE FROM BEFORE THE BALL ROLLS
There was intense debate and discussion before reaching an agreement: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will parade on Sunday, June 2nd, on Champs-Élysées (Paris), one of the most beautiful avenues in the world , in case this team wins the Champions League trophy. During the match the night before, the blue and red lights will be turned on brightly on the Eiffel Tower. The lights will flash to add sparkle and brilliance every time PSG scores a goal. That is how splendid Paris must be!

Inter are not as noisy. They just installed big screens at their home stadium San Siro so that their fans can watch the match together (the final is in Munich, Germany). Those who buy season tickets will have priority to buy tickets for this event. What will Inter do if they win the cup? They will give the whole team 10 million euros. This bonus (if any) is equivalent to 1 week's salary for the players!
If they win, PSG will not only be crowned champions for the first time in their history, but will also complete a brilliant treble, after convincing victories in Ligue 1 (19 points ahead of the runners-up) and the Coppa Italia (3-0 win over Reims in the final). Inter had nothing until the ball rolled in this crucial match. They finished second to Napoli in Serie A and lost to AC Milan in both the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana.
As fate would have it: Inter are coached by Simone Inzaghi, whose football career was so modest that he has often been mistaken for his more famous brother Filippo Inzaghi. PSG are coached by Luis Enrique, a man who has been both a player and a coach. If Enrique wins the upcoming final, he will join the rare group of coaches who have won the Champions League with multiple clubs.
INTER ONLY FOUND BACK FOR... 13 MINUTES
All of the above just shows the very clear contrast between PSG and Inter, but does not necessarily conclude which side is stronger or better.
PSG's "play to win" trait is so obvious that even when they lose, they are still clearly recognized as the team that "should have won". That was the 0-1 home loss to Liverpool, where PSG dominated from start to finish and bombarded the goal so much that Liverpool would have been lucky if they had only lost by 1-2 goals. In Ligue 1, which does not have many opponents of equal strength, if PSG does not win, it is a failure. It is no surprise that Enrique's team is used to attacking and not playing defensively.
Inter, through the ages, have always been defensive in nature, playing football to avoid losing, even though their tradition far surpasses PSG's. Only 6 other teams rank above Inter in terms of the number of European Cup/Champions League titles. They are also the only team to have appeared in the Champions League final twice in the last 3 seasons.
Inzaghi's team has conceded just one goal in eight league games. It's remarkable: the total time Inter have been behind in their 14 Champions League games this season is 13 minutes (excluding injury time, the total time of the 14 games is 1,260 minutes). Inter's defensive wall is almost impenetrable. But that doesn't mean Inter don't know how to attack. When facing Barcelona - the most famous team in the league for its attacking prowess - Inter won 7-6 on aggregate. The best defender in the league beat the best attacker in the league, in what is probably the most famous and exciting semi-final in Champions League history!
This will be the first time in history that Inter and PSG will meet in an official match. What makes it even more interesting is that it is a clash of contrasts, between two teams that are completely different in every way, both on and off the pitch.
