Three questions ahead of the Champions League final



All eyes are on Munich on Saturday night where the Champions League final will be decided between Inter and PSG.

We look at the big questions that will be answered at the Allianz Arena.

It may be a surprise to many but this fixture actually represents the first ever meeting between these giants of the game.


Interestingly though, it is the second ever French-Italian final in this competition in any guise. On that occasion, Marseille defeated Milan 1-0 (the only time a French side has won it) - and that final also took place in Munich.

It will be Inter's seventh final appearance (winning three of their previous clashes) and is just the second for PSG, having lost to Bayern Munich in 2020.

They have been the outstanding sides in this year's competition, along with Barcelona, and are fitting finalists in a game that is very much poised on a knife edge.

The tactical battle pitting Simone Inzaghi's tried and trusted defensive trio flanked by his always dangerous wing-backs going up against Luis Enrique's fearless youthful forward line promises plenty of excitement.

Between the posts, both coaches can be confident too. Ex-Milan man Gianluigi Donnarumma has excelled throughout the knockout phase, while Yann Sommer has prevented more goals than any other keeper in the competition this season (-5.9) based on the xG quality of effort faced.

We can't call it. Are you brave enough to do so? Let us know in the comments.
