GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL MAYULU ADDS TO INTER'S WOES!!! Off the post and in from a tight angle, and the celebration keep on coming. It's a record Champions League success for PSG! No one has won a final by five goals!
Triple change for PSG: Kvara, Ruiz and Neves are replaced by Ramos, Mayulu and Zaire-Emery.
81'
Barcola almost scored an insane goal! He had Acerbi in his pockets, 1v1 against the Italian defender. Went on the inside, before swernig back towards the near post to open his body and shoot with his right. Just squeezed the ball at the side-netting. PSG playing for fun!

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL KVARA SCORES AND PSG ARE GOING TO WIN THE UCL!!! Dembele once again the artefact to release the Georgian through on goal. He strikes past Sommer to finally get his first goal against Inter. 4-0!
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DOUE PUTS A LOCK ON PSG'S LEAD!!!! Ridiculous play from the Rouge and Blues, just wonderful! Dembele releases Vitinha with a brilliant flick to fool all of Inter's defence. The Portuguese slips for Doue, who slots beautifully past Sommer. Three for PSG and nothing for Inter!
Zalewski tries to cut inside and get the shot away, but Neves stops him with a clean tackle. The Polish defender is then sanctioned with a yellow card for plunging on Ruiz.

HT: Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Inter Milan. The Parisians are deservingly ahead after a dominant display in the first period. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Desire Doue doubled eight minutes later. PSG are one step away from glory, but 45 more minutes are coming up for us!
45+3'
Kvara heads from the corner, but it goes over the bar. Not far off!
45+2'

Five minutes to go plus possible added time before the end of the first half. Inter playing much better, but they are still struggling to pose real threat.
38'
First chance for Inter! Calhanoglu's cross from the right is whipped in for Thuram at the far post. The Frenchman rises and heads well, but just directs past the side netting. Dangerous from set-pieces, as always...

22'
Inter had a corner in favour, but PSG successfully defended the threat.
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DOUE DOUBLES PSG'S LEAD!! Deadly counter attack from Luis Enrique's men, initiated by Mendes and carried out by Dembele on the left. He finds Doue on the right. The youngster controls and volleys home to get a crucial deflection off Dimarco. 2-0 and fully deserved for PSG!
18'
Mendes is down in pain after an air challenge with Dumfries.
17'
Sommer gets an outside of the boot pass from Dimarco under heavy pressure from Dembele, again. Inter cannot afford to play with fire right now....
17'
Foul from Doue on Lautaro.
16'
PSG not backing down and continuing to apply high pressure on the Italians.
GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HAKIMI FIRES PSG IN FRONT!! Majestic play from the Parisians. Vitinha slips for Doue, who spins before serving Hakmi alone in the middle, and all the Moroccan has to do is tap it home from six yards. 1-0 and it had been coming!
11'

Start of match
PRVW
Players exit the tunnel and take the field, here we goooooooooooo!
PRVW
Acerbi is going to play in the same boots he scored his famous equaliser against Barcelona. A lucky hole for the Italian defender?
PRVW
Less than 30 minutes separate us from the Champions League final! Any predictions for this one?
PRVW
Teams are lining up as predicted, with the only difference for PSG being that Desire Doue starts over Bradley Barcola on the wing.
PRVW
On the bench for Simone Inzaghi's side: Di Gennaro, Martinez, De Vrij, Zielinski, Arnautovic, Frattesi, Asllani, Augusto, Bisseck, Darmian, Zalewski, Taremi.
PRVW
Inter Milan's starting XI (3-5-2): Sommer (GK); Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
PRVW
On the bench for Luios Enrique's side: Safonov, Tenas, Kimpembe, Ramos, Lee, Hernandez, Mayulu, Barcola, Zaire-Emery, Beraldo, Mbaye.
PRVW
Paris Saint-Germain's starting XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma (GK); Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
PRVW
We have the confirmed lineups for the Champions League final! Let's see how the teams will line up...
PRVW
And now, it all comes to this. In a contest between one of the continent's old guard and one of the state-owned modern superclubs, who will come out on top?
PRVW
Sommer's miraculous saves against Barcelona in the semis kept the Milan outfit in the game, before Acerbi struck in stoppage-time to force the game into extra-time, where Frattesi scored the winning goal.
PRVW
Despite their age, the veteran trio proved to be crucial in Inter's run to the final. Mkhitaryan has been the engine in midfield and is on course to complete a European hat-trick after winning the Europa League and Conference League with Manchester United and Roma.
PRVW
It's a make-or-break final for the Nerazzurri, given their ageing squad. Three players 36 or older - Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Yann Sommer and Francesco Acerbi - will feature for Inter tonight in Munich in what could be their last Champions League final.
PRVW
But the wind was whipped from their sails by a shocking defeat against the Rossoneri to end their domestic trophy run, followed by Napoli's Serie A title triumph on the final day, leaving the Champions League their only remaining option for a trophy.
PRVW
Inter looked capable of winning the treble after eliminating Bayern in the quarter-finals last month, with a handy three-point lead over Scudetto rivals Napoli and an Italian Cup semi-final against ailing AC Milan.
PRVW
It would be Inzaghi's first Champions League of his career. After winning nine trophies in nine seasons as a manager, including the Serie A, Italian Super Cup and Coppa Italia, Europe's elite club competition is the one thing the Italian coach has been missing to take him among the best in the business.
PRVW
But he will contest this weekend's showdown with Qatari-backed PSG with potentially a better chance of winning the Champions League than he did in Istanbul in 2023, when Inter were narrowly beaten by possibly Pep Guardiola's best-ever Manchester City team.
PRVW
The 48-year-old has had to navigate off-field turbulence and serious financial problems, which have left Inter with a transfer budget which is a fraction of what nouveau riche clubs like their opponents.
PRVW
Inter have become one of Europe's top teams under Inzaghi and reaching the final of the continent's leading club competition for the second time in three seasons is a testament to the impressive job he has done since taking charge in 2021.
PRVW
But Paris Saint-Germain are not the only hungry side led by a top coach, because on the other end there is Simone Inzaghi.
PRVW
In defence is skipper Marquinhos, who will play his 25th career final tonight. The Brazilian is PSG's most decorated player with 34 trophies, but the Champions League is the one missing jewel from his stacked crown.
PRVW
PSG's midfield three sees Vitinha and Joao Neves team up with Fabian Ruiz, the elegant Spaniard whose tireless work rate can almost go unnoticed. Vitinha makes the team tick and is the designated penalty taker, while the energetic Neves starts the press and is also surprisingly useful in the air.
PRVW
Others like Achraf Hakimi, formerly of Inter and perhaps the world's best full-back, and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma have also been superb this term.
PRVW
Enrique's silent revolution opened the door for an exciting young Paris side that has taken Europe by storm. Ousmane Dembele has been the standout with 33 goals in all competitions, ably assisted by fellow forwards Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola and January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
PRVW
But, it turns out, PSG really are better without Mbappe, and Luis Enrique deserves huge credit for that. While the Frenchman will sit on the sofa to watch tonight's final, the former Barcelona coach will be on the touchline, looking to guide his side towards glory.
PRVW
"If everything goes well, I'm convinced we'll have a much better team than this year," Luis Enrique said in February 2024. It was hard to believe at the time, even less so after PSG opted last summer not to sign a new striker.
PRVW
But Kylian Mbappe's departure to Real Madrid the next summer was something that had several fans fearing for the future of the club. Yet the manager kept insisting PSG would be better without their all-time top scorer.
PRVW
Last year they still reached the semi-finals in Europe before losing to Borussia Dortmund - with a domestic league and cup double also in the bag, it was a promising start for the new coach.
PRVW
The PSG job appeared something of a poisoned chalice, with his predecessors unable to deliver the success in the Champions League that the club's Qatari owners desired.
PRVW
Enrique was appointed in July 2023, six months after he was sacked by Spain and just after Lionel Messi left the French side following an underwhelming two-year spell. Neymar then departed later that summer.
PRVW
It could be Luis Enrique's night in Munich. The Asturian coach could earn a second career Champions League and treble, the latter would make him the only one to do so, alongside Pep Guardiola.
PRVW
However, led by Luis Enrique, PSG have grown into a real dominant force this term and could go on to complete a treble after sealing a domestic double with the Ligue 1 and French Cup.
PRVW
Looking at the two sides' roads towards the final would suggest that Inter have the edge over PSG, having beaten tournament favourites Bayern Munich and Barcelona in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, respectively.
PRVW
Meanwhile, Inter are three-time winners of Europe's elite club competition and have the opportunity to lift their fourth after failing to do so in 2023, when they surrendered to Manchester City (1-0) in Istanbul.
PRVW
The Parisians have never tasted Champions League glory, going closest in the 2020 final after a 1-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in Lisbon.
PRVW
Just over three hours to go until kick-off, and things are heating up in Munich. Who will come out on top? Will it be Inter's experience-filled side or PSG's young and motivated squad?
PRVW
Inter Milan's possible starting XI (3-5-2): Sommer (GK); Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
PRVW
Paris Saint-Germain's possible starting XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma (GK); Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
