Munich is bracing for a carnival of colour as Paris Saint Germain and Inter Milan book their places in the Champions League Final on 31 May 2025 at the Allianz Arena. It is the first ever European Cup clash between the two giants and the Bavarian capital expects more than one hundred and fifty thousand travelling supporters to flood the city for fan festivals on Marienplatz and the Olympic Park.

Luis Enrique guided PSG past Real Madrid in a dramatic semi final second leg where Kylian Mbappe struck a stoppage time winner. Inter reached their second final in three seasons after outlasting Manchester City on penalties, with goalkeeper Yann Sommer the hero. Both sides kept five clean sheets in the knockout rounds, underlining a clash that balances attacking flair with defensive organisation.

Tactically the contest is a study in contrasts. PSG rely on rapid wing play from Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi, stretching defences for Mbappe and Randal Kolo Muani to exploit central channels. Inter prefer measured possession in a 3 5 2 that funnels through Hakan Calhanoglu before springing Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram on breakaway runs.

Personal storylines abound. Mbappe chases a first Champions League crown before his widely rumoured summer move to Spain, while Simone Inzaghi aims to emulate Jose Mourinho by delivering a fourth continental title to the Nerazzurri. The meeting also pits former Milan defender Milan Skriniar against his old club only twelve months after his free transfer to Paris.

UEFA confirmed a local kick off of 21 00 CEST with a retractable roof fan zone in place should Bavarian spring showers arrive. Security services have issued travel advice encouraging ticket holders to use suburban rail lines rather than city centre taxis to ease congestion. Inside the stadium, neutral seats will display a choreographed mosaic celebrating fifty years of the modern Champions League era.
