PSG take on Inter Milan tonight in the Champions League final as Luis Enrique bids to finally deliver the European crown to Paris.
The French giants’ only European trophy came when they won the 1996 Cup Winners’ Cup, and the Champions League has been the stated goal ever since the Qatari buyout in 2011. They came close in 2020, losing to Bayern Munich in the final, and a vibrant young side led by their passionate Spanish manager are determined to go one step further here in Munich.
Standing in PSG’s way are Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan side who dramatically knocked out Barcelona in the semi-finals. Inter, who lifted the European Cup in 1964, 1965 and 2010, also have unfinished business in this competition after defeat by Manchester City in the final two years ago.
Who will be crowned the new kings of Europe?

Can Inzaghi change this?
Utterly dominant first half from PSG. Inter look overpowered and overwhelmed. What can Simone Inzaghi conjure to change this?
– Richard Jolly at the Allianz Arena
HALF-TIME! PSG 2-0 Inter
Last chance of the first half as Kvaratskhelia rises in the box and heads over. He should probably do better there. That could’ve been 3-0.
Instead, it’s half-time and PSG have completely dominated in Munich. Goals from Hakimi and Doue have them in control, with one hand on the trophy.
This is going to take an epic comeback from Inter
CLOSE! PSG 2-0 Inter, 45+1 mins
Superb skill from Ruiz, with a glorious step-over to beat his man and he feeds Doue.
Shifted on to his right foot and tries to curl it into the far corner from the edge of the box but it drifts just wide.
PSG 2-0 Inter, 45 mins
We’re into two minutes of injury-time before the break.
PSG 2-0 Inter, 41 mins
Pacho a rock at the back for PSG, cutting out another pass. This is Inter’s best spell of the game but they could really do with a goal before half-time to get back in it.
MISS! PSG 2-0 Inter, 38 mins
Inter’s midfield are being completely overrun here, with PSG playing through them with ease. The Italian side have barely got a foothold in this game.
A bit better as they attack down the right and Calhanoglu fires a low ball into the box which Pacho impressively cuts out for a corner.
From that corner, Thuram gets space at the back post but heads wide! He has to score, I think, or at least hit the target – that was a great chance.
PSG 2-0 Inter, 35 mins
Dimarco being targeted by PSG and they go at him again, with Dembele winning the corner.
Marquinhos rises to meet the ball in by Dembele but it goes well wide.
Why Achraf Hakimi didn’t celebrate scoring the opening goal of the Champions League final
Achraf Hakimi scored the opening goal of the Champions League final to put Paris Saint-Germain in front against Inter Milan – but the right back did not celebrate.
Hakimi finished Desire Doue’s clever cut-back, scoring into an empty net to round off a lovely move from the French side, to give PSG the lead in Munich.
However, Hakimi immediately raised his hands in apology to the Inter supporters who were behind Yann Sommer’s goal at the Allianz Arena.
