Good evening everybody and welcome along to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through the Champions League final clash between PSG and Inter at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Both sides have carved very different paths to this stage, but each enters the final with everything to play for, history, redemption, and the ultimate prize in European club football.
For PSG, it’s a shot at long-awaited validation. Backed by Qatari ownership since 2011, the French giants have come close before, but never crossed the line. This time, under Luis Enrique, they stand on the brink of a historic treble, having already secured Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France, and could become the first French club ever to achieve the feat with a win at the Allianz Arena.
Standing in their way is Inter Milan, who are no strangers to European success. The Nerazzurri have lifted the Champions League three times, most recently in 2010, and will be desperate to bounce back after falling short in the 2023 final against Manchester City. That defeat has fueled their hunger, and they’ll be eager to add a fourth star to their badge.
The stakes are immense. PSG are chasing their first Champions League crown and seeking to join an elite list of debut winners in finals held in Munich — following the examples of Nottingham Forest, Marseille, Dortmund, and Chelsea. Inter, meanwhile, are eager to avoid ending the season trophyless, having missed out on both Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
