The Munich final offers a fresh continental pairing yet statistical patterns suggest a finely balanced duel. Paris Saint Germain arrive with the most prolific attack in this season’s competition, averaging just over three goals per match and converting twenty one per cent of total shots. Inter Milan counter with the second strongest defence, conceding a shade under one goal every two outings and allowing opponents fewer than two clear chances per game.

Possession numbers contrast sharply. Luis Enrique deploys a fluid 4 3 3 that records sixty two per cent average control of the ball, funnelled through Marco Asensio’s rotations into midfield spaces. Simone Inzaghi is happy at forty eight per cent, preferring rapid three pass breakouts that have produced eight fast break goals, the most of any side in the knockout rounds.

Set pieces look decisive. Inter score from fourteen per cent of corners thanks to Alessandro Bastoni’s near post flicks and Hakan Calhanoglu’s whipped deliveries. PSG reply with Marquinhos at the back stick and Achraf Hakimi’s inswinging free kicks from the left corridor, a pattern responsible for three goals since February.

Shot maps highlight danger zones. Mbappé favours diagonal dribbles from the left leading to finishes inside the six yard box, while Lautaro Martínez is lethal between penalty spot and edge of the area where he strikes first time from Barella cutbacks. Goalkeepers Gianluigi Donnarumma and Yann Sommer each boast save percentages above eighty, promising a duel of giant frames and lightning reflexes.

Discipline may prove a wildcard. PSG have collected eighteen yellow cards compared with Inter’s ten and the French side’s aggression in midfield could draw the scrutiny of an official keen to keep tempers in check on the year’s grandest club stage.
