Evaluating the possibility of winning C1 PSG vs Inter Milan: France has a bright chance
The final between PSG and Inter Milan is not an easy match to predict as both teams have reasons to dream of winning this year's Champions League.
The 2025 Champions League final betweenPSG vs Inter Milannot only is it a showdown between two different schools of football, but also a clash between two contrasting journeys to glory. PSG are chasing a historic treble, while Inter are desperate to end their trophyless season with Europe’s most prestigious trophy.
PSG: Historic season is waiting to end completely
With just one game away from the treble, PSG are on the verge of becoming the first French club to win the Champions League since Marseille in 1993. This has been a remarkable season for the capital club, from the risk of being eliminated in the group stage to a convincing series of matches in the knockout round. Victory over strong teams like Arsenal and Aston Villa shows that their mettle has been tempered.
Luis Enrique has a near-full-strength squad. Kvaratskhelia, Dembele and Doue will be in charge up front, while the midfield is built around Joao Neves, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz – all of whom have been consistent. PSG’s defence has not left many doubts, and Gianluigi Donnarumma is a reliable stopper.
In addition to their personal ambitions, PSG also carry the dream of French football, which has rarely been successful on the continental stage. History also supports them somewhat: the last 4 Champions League finals held in Munich have all witnessed the new champion being crowned.
Inter Milan: Underdog but full of calculations
In contrast to PSG, Inter Milan have not been in very stable form recently. They lost the Scudetto to Juventus, were eliminated from the Coppa Italia and have disappointed domestic opponents. However, in the Champions League, coach Simone Inzaghi's team has played like a "transformed" team.
Inter are a team that controls the game extremely well. In 14 matches in the European Cup this season, they have only been behind for a total of... 7 minutes. In particular, the victory over Bayern and the chase with Barca in the semi-finals have proven the Nerazzurri's ability to overcome difficulties. Although they are rated lower than PSG in terms of squad depth, Inter have the advantage in experience, cohesion and tactics.
Lautaro Martinez has recovered and is ready to lead the attack alongside Marcus Thuram. The midfield of Calhanoglu – Barella – Mkhitaryan promises to bring a balance between pressing and ball control. In defense, the trio of Acerbi – Bastoni – Bisseck will be a solid defense against PSG's pressure.
Who has a better chance of winning?
PSG seem to have the upper hand in terms of individual players and current form, but Inter have the courage and experience to approach big matches. This is the most unpredictable final in recent years. If the match goes into extra time or penalties, Inter – with their tenacity and experience – can completely create a surprise.
Prediction: PSG 1-1 Inter Milan (PSG win on penalties).
