The biggest trophy in club soccer is up for grabs on Saturday at Allianz Arena in Munich.
Today’s Champions League Final between PSG and Inter Milan is a fascinating one, as the young French club led by former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique takes on Simone Inzaghi’s veteran Inter Milan side.
The latter also made the UCL Final in 2023, coming up just short in a 1-0 loss to a dominant Manchester City squad.
PSG are the clear favorites in this matchup after dispatching recently crowned EPL champ Liverpool in the round of 16, Aston Villa in the quarterfinals and Arsenal in the semis.
Inter navigated a difficult path of their own through knockout play. The Serie A club took down Feyenoord in the round of 16, Bundesliga winner Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals and high-flying Barcelona in the semis in an unforgettable 7-6 tie.
The battle between PSG and Inter kicks off today at 3 p.m. ET.

UCL Final Betting Analysis: PSG vs. Inter Milan
This year’s Champions League final presents a fascinating contrast between a young, aggressive pressing team (PSG) and a grizzled Inter side that will likely start seven players who started for Inzaghi in the 2023 UCL Final vs. City.
Under second-year manager Luis Enrique, this young PSG side suffered from the absence of Kylian Mbappe early this season, but it has been on a tear since the calendar flipped to 2025. They enter today’s game as rightful betting favorites after knocking out three teams from the top domestic league in the world, the EPL, to reach this year’s Champions League Final.
PSG have gotten an outstanding season from Ousmane Dembele. The biggest reason they’re the favorites is that outside of their inexperience (especially compared to their opponent in this match), there are no real weaknesses in the PSG lineup. Enrique’s side features impressive versatility and depth at just about every position.
Can PSG Make Likely Possession Advantage Count?
Style-wise, it will be interesting to see whether Inter — which will once again largely concede possession after Barcelona out-possessed them 70-30 in both legs of the semifinals — can hold up against an opponent like PSG that typically controls possession.
If Dembele and Co. control the ball for most of this match, their attack will pose one of the toughest challenges of the season for the stout Inter back line anchored by Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni.
Inter Milan Counter, Set Pieces Top Concerns For PSG
One of the biggest concerns for PSG (besides the challenge of converting their control of possession into quality shots on target), will be dangerous wing backs Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco on the counter. The speedy Dumfries in particular starred in the semifinals, with two goals and three assists vs. Barca in the UCL semis.
PSG’s other biggest weakness, on paper, is the way they defend set pieces. They gave up a Ligue 1-leading 11 goals from set pieces in domestic play this year. Inter are well equipped to exploit that issue on Sunday after finishing their domestic season with easily the most set-piece goals scored in Serie A (18).
PSG vs. Inter Milan UCL Final Lineup, Injury News
Both teams are expected to be at close to full strength on Saturday. The only injury concerns are regarding PSG backup defender Presnel Kimpembe and Inter reserves Piotr Zielinski, Yann Bisseck and Valentin Carboni.
Champions League Final Best Bets: PSG-Inter
I like Inter Milan to keep this one close and low-scoring for a while, but PSG have the better pieces, and I expect them to stay composed despite the relative lack of experience.
Ultimately, if PSG secures the possession advantage it projects to have, holding on for 90 minutes against Dembele, Georgian star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue feels like too much to ask, even for a great keeper-back line combo like Yann Sommer + Acerbi/Bastoni/Pavard.
The caveat here is the aforementioned set piece advantage that Inter have. If they can manufacture a goal off a corner or free kick, especially if they can get one early to take the lead, PSG could be in massive trouble.
That being said, I expect a low-scoring game for 45-minutes plus until one of PSG’s dangerous attackers (my money’s on Kvaratskhelia) finally shakes free for a game-winner sometime around the 75th minute or later.
With that in mind, a couple plus-money wagers I recommend include a first-half draw and a parlay of PSG to win the match with Under 3.5 Goals.
- First Half Draw (+115 at FanDuel) — 1 unit
- Parlay: PSG Win/Under 3.5 Goals (+165 at DK) — 1 unit
