These are two sensations from a European season full of surprises. On one side, the French are seeking their first European title, while the Italians are seeking their 4th and have not won since 2010.

Saturday (31) will be perfect for Brazilians who enjoy good football to gather their friends for a barbecue, sit on the couch and watch the Champions League final between Inter Milan and PSG at 4pm at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. These are two sensations from a European season full of surprises. On one side, the French are seeking their first European title, while the Italians want their 4th and have not won since 2010.

While Paris were comfortably crowned national champions, Inter lost the Scudetto in the last round to Napoli, but they are focused on the final in a clear contrast between the teams. The team were finalists in 2023, when they lost to Manchester City. In the current campaign of the continental tournament, they have beaten Feyenoord, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

What stands out is the maintenance of the group . In addition to the coach, who remains in the dugout, eight players from the starting team also remain in Milan. Only goalkeeper Onana, midfielder Brozovic and striker Lukaku have left the club — Sommer, Mkhitaryan and Thuram, respectively, take over their positions. The likely lineup, in a 3-5-2, has Sommer; Darmian, Acerbi and Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Çalhanolu and Dimarco; Lautaro Martínez and Thuram.

PSG reached the final five years ago, but also lost to Bayern Munich . The difference is that the team had a different look at the time. In addition to the change in coaching — Thomas Tuchel was the boss — the player profile was different, with stars like Neymar, Di Maria and Mbappé.

Today, promising French players and an organized squad, without much status, beat the English teams Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal , and arrive with high morale for the decision. Coach Luis Enrique should organize the Parisians in a 4-3-3 formation, with Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinho, Pacho and Nuno Mendes; Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves; Doué, Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia.

The duel promises to be balanced until the end and, following the pattern of recent finals, few goals. Of the last five decisions, four have ended 1-0 . The only one that went beyond the minimum score was last year, in the 2-0 victory applied by Real Madrid over Borussia Dortmund.
