PSG is currently the only team in Europe that can dream of a "quadruple" after winning all three domestic titles.
No mistakes allowed
The Paris team is aiming for the feat that Celtic Glasgow achieved exactly 58 years ago. Five years ago, PSG lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, so it is no surprise that the French team aims to step onto the highest victory podium right in the capital of Bavaria in the early morning of June 1, as a "sweet revenge".
Unlike his colleague Thomas Tuchel, who did not have much experience in leading at the top level, current PSG coach Luis Enrique helped Barcelona win the Champions League and took Spain to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 and the final of the Nations League 2021. Enrique is rebuilding PSG in his own style, which is to control the ball, apply flexible tactics and understand how to win in big matches.

Meanwhile, coach Simone Inzaghi, although he has made great contributions to helping Inter Milan rise strongly in Serie A, failed in the Champions League final two seasons ago. The European champions that year were Man City, led by Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique's predecessor at Barcelona. 10 years ago, Mr. Enrique and Barca won the Champions League after defeating an Italian representative, Juventus. In the early morning of June 1, will history repeat itself with the Spanish coach?
As a coach who has grown from experience, Inzaghi is not flashy or ostentatious but is extremely effective. Inter Milan under Inzaghi is a well-oiled machine with high team spirit and the ability to adjust tactics very quickly.
Strong attack, strong opponent
PSG's consecutive defeat of very strong English teams such as Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal on the way to the final is something Inter Milan need to worry about, especially when the French team also owns the talented "genuine Italian" goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Donnarumma's excellent saves can completely make Inter Milan's strikers frustrated even though Lautaro Martinez and his teammates scored quite well in the entire Champions League campaign this season (26 goals/14 matches).
Inter Milan's biggest problem has been their inconsistent form over the past few months, to the point of missing out on two consecutive domestic titles. Working hard on three fronts has made it impossible for many of Inzaghi's key players to maintain their stamina and sharpness.
However, in the Champions League, statistics show that Inter Milan this season is stronger than they were in the final against Man City in the 2022-2023 season. If they do not approach the match properly and do not take advantage of their opportunities, PSG will pay a heavy price like Barcelona did in the semi-finals.
The hot spot in the final match in the early morning of June 1 also promises to come from the attacking front. PSG will continue to rely on the explosion of striker Ousmane Dembele - who is very hopeful of winning with the Paris team to accumulate more opportunities to compete for the Golden Ball award this year.
PSG are representatives of modern attacking football, knowing how to dominate the game and finish off opponents, while Inter Milan defend with discipline and play pragmatic football.
PSG have won the most games (10) and scored the most goals (33) in this season's Champions League, thanks in part to playing more games in the new format from the group stage. Meanwhile, Inter have kept eight clean sheets and conceded just 11, with one own goal, six of which came in the two crazy semi-final games against Barcelona.
The final match of the 2024-2025 season at the Allianz Arena promises to be very exciting with the very different playing styles between the representatives of the two football villages of Italy and France.
