PSG v Inter Milan – Preview, Predictions and Best Bets

The Parisians have won nine of their last 11 matches in this competition. They’re chasing their first ever Champions League crown whilst Inter last lifted this trophy in 2010.

Match: PSG v Inter Milan
When: Saturday, 31 May 2025, 21:00

PSG Form

After a run of just one defeat in 30 matches, PSG have a run of three losses in six matches. That drop in form saw 10 goals leaked. They got back on track with a 2-1 home win over Arsenal to seal a 3-1 aggregate win and a place in the final.

Three more wins have followed. PSG beat Montpellier 4-1 and Auxerre 3-1 in two Ligue 1 matches. Their last fixture brought a 3-0 win over Reims in the Coupe de France final. They put up 3.13 xG and outshot their opponents 20-4 to seal a league and cup double.

PSG Team News

Coach Luis Enrique will recall Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal after Matvey Safonov started the last match. Centre back Presnel Kimpembe is doubtful but would not have played anyway.

The big call for this match is in the front three. Teenager Desire Doue has excelled of late but Bradley Barcola scored a brace in the cup final. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is back after missing the Reims match with a migraine.

PSG Motivation

PSG and their coach are desperate to make history and finally win this competition for the first time. Their focus switched to Europe 100% a few weeks back.

Expect Luis Enrique’s side to dominate possession and to play on the front foot throughout.

Inter Milan Form

Inter are looking to save their season by winning this trophy. A run of three straight defeats in April saw their hopes of a treble evaporate. They were beaten 1-0 at Bologna in Serie A and 3-0 by AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-finals. A 1-0 home loss to Roma in the league was a damaging setback.

Inter drew 3-3 away to Barcelona having led 2-0 and 3-2 before a 1-0 home win over Verona. A classic 4-3 home win over Barcelona in the second leg saw them reach this final. After winning 2-0 at Torino, they conceded late to draw 2-2 at home to Lazio. A 2-0 final day win at Como was not enough to retain the Serie A title as Napoli took the Scudetto.

Inter Milan Team News

Coach Simone Inzaghi has four injury concerns for this match. Benjamin Pavard needs a late fitness test, as does fellow defender Yann Bisseck. Valentin Carboni is out injured and will miss this showpiece.

Central midfielder Piotr Zielinski should shake off a knock to feature from the bench. Almost the entire starting XI was rested vs Como and all the big guns will return fully fresh.

Inter Milan Motivation

Inter are hugely motivated to win this competition again after losing the 2023 final to Man City.

Their confidence may be a bit dented after throwing away the Serie A title. Inzaghi’s side could look to absorb pressure for long spells in this match.
