[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

PSG have become a better team after Mbappe left for Real Madrid. Inter Milan have been playing well all season. What cannot be denied is that PSG and Inter Milan have beaten the best to earn the right to play in the final. There is nothing between the two teams that makes it easy to select a winner. I am looking forward to what should be an absolutely stunning final 

This is one of those finals that it becomes difficult for me to pick a winner. PSG looks favourites but again Inter Milan has the experience and most times in games like this, it's the experience that helps the team to win and not their form or tactics. It'll be nice to see a new winner but also its been forever that inter Milan won the champions league. For this game. I don't have a favourite, I just hope the best team win and no misfortunes happens to give the advantage to the less better team. I just want to be entertained on that day of the finals. Inter Milan got some goals in them. See how many they scored in the semi final so PSG has to be ready defensively or they'll conceded lots of goals.

The big day is about to arrive. There is less than a day left for the Champions League finale.

As a reminder while Luis Enrique has won this trophy once Inzaghi is still trophyless. I really admire Inzaghi's effort anyway. He missed the trophy in the 2023 finale. Now he is trying his chance with it once again. But in a more legendary way I can say. On the other side, PSG are like the strongest version of them in the recent years. After Mbappe's departure the team have been revolutionized by Luis Enrique. In the final match I hope we don't come across a boring match above all else.

Although PSG have shown remarkable improvement and stability this season, and they fully deserve their spot in tomorrow's final, I will stand on Inter's side. Since it will be Inzaghi's last game on Inter's bench, I would prefer to see him and his team lifting the trophy. No matter which team will be the Champions, I can't even imagine seeing a goalless, boring game. Tbh, I expect at least one goal in the first half from one of them, and hopefully it will be Inter.

Yeah, me too!!!
I was also expecting that Inter Milan would be the winner because they are really good and deserve to be the champions of the 2025. It doesn't mean that PSG is not that good like they didn't have the capacity to win the final. For sure, they can also win the final, but for me Inter Milan is bit heavier than PSG, whether it's in squad depth or in standard performance. In both comparison Inter Milan team is looking bit stronger. So I think they will be the winner....

Let me tell you something more that Luis Enrique is a smart coach and he knew how to handle this situation at the big matches and also he has good experience. So if he observes the opposition moment, then probably he will make an antivenom for them, and if Inter Milan doesn't play well, then apparently it can cause a concern for them...

It will be so excited. I can't wait any longer.... But anyway, let's see what happens next...

Let me know. Inter or PSG

PSG and Inter Milan will battle it out this evening to become the winners of the Champions League. Without doubt both teams deserved to make it to the final, this will be a tense and nervous game but it should at least have a few goals. I think the game will end in 90 minutes (therefore no need for extra-time or penalties).

Me too! It would be very disappointing to see a tiki-taka defensive match. In less than 10 minutes will know and hopefully all our wishes for a great game will be "heard" and accomplished. Let the game begin, good luck to all!

RESULT:

PSG 5-0 Inter Milan

PSG dominated the game from beginning to end. Where on earth were the same Inter Milan team that beat Barcelona? It is the first time PSG have won the Champions League and nobody can deny they deserved it. It is a pity Inter Milan could not cope with PSG. It was an emphatic win.

Very disappointing final; I expected a close game, not this one-sided final - Inter's performance tonight was disgusting, and the players should be ashamed.

Bottling the league and losing the CL final in this manner is embarrassing.  What could have been an amazing season for them has turned into one they should quickly forget. Well deserved for PSG.

It was very disappointing, it did not even seem as though it was a Champions League final. PSG dominated the game and did not allow Inter Milan to even settle for a short period. I think their first shot on target was deep in to the second half but it was saved, Inter Milan did everything wrong whereas PSG did everything right.

What a game from PSG and Luis Enrique! Two times he gets there, two times a winner, and this time was like an earthquake! An emphatic 5-0 (a new record high as well) with style, discipline, and talent that left no doubt about who the best team in Europe is this year. Inter was simply out of the picture; they couldn't do the slightest thing. PSG was all ever and kept the best for last, and unfortunately for Inter, they were the last.
As for the players, Doue was tremendous and fully deserved the MVP award. Dembele was more mature in the most crucial game, Kvaratskhelia fighting to the last minute, Ruiz and Vitinha worked like robots, and even the reserves played like regulars. Now let's see what will happen at the FIFA Club World Cup and which team will win this.

I was also disappointed with this match. I mean I was expecting PSG to become champions but not like this for sure. I don't understand how Inter can be this bad in defense and offense both. Inzaghi was desperate against Luis Enrique.

PSG have a very young lineup actually. But they are playing so great as a team. They didn't give Inter much space during the full match. But 5-0 is too heavy. It is even a record-breaking score in Champions League history.

The Inter we saw against Barcelona were rudeless and fought until the end, whereas the Inter we saw in the final were entirely different, and while I complained about their defensive gameplay and how easy it was to score goals against them, I believe their mistake was to use the same tactics against a fast attacking PSG side with a solid backline.

It was simple for them to beat Barcelona because both sides are terrible at defence and the game was just about who scored the most goals. They can compete again next season if they keep all the players together.

I can't say I'm disappointed with the game as a game, but for sure, I didn't expect Inter to lose like this. Hands down. At some point, it was clear that they tried not to get another goal and not to score one. Undoubtedly, the worst performance that they can have in a final like the CL. However, it wasn't Inter that didn't try to play their game, but PSG that won't let them not even for a second.

Inter's huge problem was PSG's off-ball tactic. Luis Henrique's pressure and cover in specific areas of the field, along with fast response and passes when getting the ball, were for a seminar. Dembele's pass to Vitinha and his to Doue show the knowledge and the certainty that PSG had all game long. A teammate will continue the plan as it was planned. Always run-press-cover, and when you regain possession, attack with the same quickness. I doubt that there will be any other team that will win yesterday's PSG.
I bet on Inter and I wanted to see them win this, but I applaud and congratulate PSG for such a performance. Big respect for them and their staff.

The thing is that Simone Inzaghi literally didn't get prepared for PSG well. I wonder whether he even watched their earlier stage performances. Because it looked like he had no clue about what to do against that performance.

He just hoped to catch them off guard with the same strategies. But you can't play the same against that Barcelona and this PSG. They are completely different in defensive strategies in the first place. You must have a Plan B as a result.

Inter Milan will suffer from bad memories about this defeat for a long time. If they ever make another Champions League final they will probably go in to that game with negativity and nerves as they will be worried about suffering another huge defeat. It is hard to understand why Inter Milan played their worst game.

The Inter Milan team that beat Barcelona in the semi-final were brilliant but it seems as though they crumbled under the pressure and nerves in the final. It was sad to see them not even put up a decent fight against PSG. Going by what we saw, imagine if PSG had played Barcelona in the final I am sure that would have been a stunning game.

This thread needed to be updated for the 2025/26 season.

Five teams have a 100% win record from their first three games. For me, there is a msall group of teams that are favourites to win the Champions League. I think PSG, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Real Madrid have a good chance to get to the latter stages.

Here are the top 15 places in the Champions League group stage:
