Historical Context
This will be Inter`s seventh appearance in a Champions League final, boasting a record of three wins and three defeats in their previous attempts. Paris Saint-Germain is reaching the final for only the second time in their history. Their sole previous appearance was in the 2020 edition, where they were defeated by Bayern Munich.
As previously noted, the six prior meetings between Inter and PSG occurred solely during preseason tours and friendlies. Their most recent friendly encounter took place at the beginning of the 2023-24 season in Japan. In that match, the Nerazzurri emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, featuring goals from Sebastiano Esposito and Stefano Sensi.
