Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the final of the tournament after a 2-1 win in the second leg of the semi-final, advancing 3-1 on aggregate after a 1-0 first-leg victory in London.

Inter, meanwhile, advanced 7-6 on aggregate against Barcelona after a 3-3 draw in the first leg of the semi-final at Montjuïc Stadium. Inter won 4-3 in Italy.

Under the leadership of Spanish coach Luis Enrique, Paris Saint-Germain aims to achieve a historic victory and give the Parisian team its first Champions League title in the French club’s history, having never won the title despite its successful run over the past few years.

This is the second time Paris Saint-Germain has reached the Champions League final, having previously reached the final in 2019-2020 before losing to Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan, led by Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, is seeking to win the European title to make up for its domestic failure, having lost the Italian league title to Napoli, and to give the Nerazzurri their fourth Champions League title in their history.

Inter Milan has won the Champions League three times before, winning the tournament twice in succession in 1964 and 1965. The last time the Italian team won was in 2010 under the leadership of Portuguese Jose Mourinho.
