Champions League: Will PSG or Inter lift the UCL trophy?

It’s the event that marks the end of the club season. The grand finale of a long campaign, when the entire football world pauses to see who will lift Europe’s most prestigious trophy. But who will win?

Few expected PSG and Inter Milan to reach the final in Munich — yet they’ve defied the odds and overcome every obstacle in their path.

In the group stage, Paris came close to elimination, trailing by two goals against Manchester City in the second half. The Italians, for their part, pulled off a last-second comeback against Barça, equalizing in stoppage time and winning it in extra time thanks to Acerbi — a defender.

So, which captain will be lifting the famous trophy with the big ears around midnight this Saturday? Here’s everything you need to know to bet smartly on GoldenVegas Sport.

Paris aims to follow in Marseille’s footsteps

History is full of symbols and twists of fate. Since the Qataris took over in 2011, the capital club has been chasing the Champions League trophy. Many disappointments have marked their journey, including the infamous comeback against them and the final loss to Bayern Munich in the 2020 Final Four.

You’re always betrayed by your own. Kingsley Coman, who came through the youth system at Camp des Loges, was the one who crushed their dreams. This time, Luis Enrique’s men want to get their revenge and make their fans proud. They want to follow the path of Marseille, their eternal rival and the only French club to have won the Champions League so far — back in 1993. In Munich.

In the Bavarian capital, the recent French league and national cup winner is aiming for a historic treble. But who could deliver the trophy? Ousmane Dembélé, of course.

With 8 goals in 14 matches in the competition and his status as Ligue 1’s top scorer, the French international could take a huge step toward the Ballon d'Or with a win. On the other side, keep an eye on Lautaro Martinez. If you can predict the goal scorer and the winning team, the odds are quite appealing on our platform.

Without Mbappé, Paris has been even stronger

Everyone was wondering how PSG would cope without Kylian Mbappé, just a year after losing Neymar and Lionel Messi. Paradoxically, Hakimi and his teammates have never looked stronger without a global superstar in the squad. "I’m very happy not to depend on a single player," simply stated head coach Luis Enrique.

The Spaniard has built a strong collective. Most importantly, he’s been able to rely on a resurgent Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian goalkeeper has been a key figure — in the round of 16 against Liverpool, the quarter-finals versus Aston Villa, and the semi-final clash with Arsenal.

"We’ve always tried to help each player improve and adapt their qualities to our style. What we expect from a goalkeeper depends on the profile of the player and the coaching staff, and I believe the progress has been obvious," the coach explained. "We’ve seen a very good version of Donnarumma."

Trained at AC Milan, the Italian international will do everything he can to stop his rival Inter from securing a fourth Champions League title. But can the Parisians win it without needing extra time?

Marcus Thuram wants to surpass his father Lilian

Just like their opponents, the Milan side sees signs of destiny. Everyone remembers their last Champions League triumph in 2010, when they beat Bayern Munich under José Mourinho. In the Munich stadium once again, Simone Inzaghi’s players want to make up for the disappointment of two seasons ago, when they lost the final to Manchester City (1-0).

The Italians also owe their fans a form of revenge after losing the league title last week to Napoli. “There’s pain in me and in the players — there’s no point denying it. Friday wasn’t an easy day. Losing the title was hard to swallow,” admitted the coach.

He’ll be able to count on Marcus Thuram, crucial in the previous round against Barcelona. And more motivated than ever to do what his father Lilian never managed to achieve during his career: lift the Champions League trophy.
