“” The most important thing is to deserve to gain victory and, for that, we must play as usual “Said coach Luis Enrique at the microphone of Canal more before the meeting.
Inter, in competitions it is much more disputed, has lost and the Italian Cup and the series has in recent weeks and this when it had been displayed three points ahead of Naples (future champion) at the end of the season. Will the collective of Simone Inzaghi, who dreamed of a triplet, will lose everything this Saturday evening?
In terms of dynamics, PSG may start meeting with slightly higher confidence. The Parisians, after having outrageously dominated Ligue 1, succeeded last Saturday by winning the French Cup against Reims (3-0).
The two eleven of this final with the devices on the ground:
On the side of Inter Milan, there were very little doubts but Martinez and Pavard are well back in the eleven after missing the last three and six matches of the Inter. We find the 3-5-2 Nerazzurro with Thuram in attack, Dumfries and Di Marco in pistons or the Barella-Calhanoglu-Mkhitaryan trio in the midfield. The Taremi and Arnautovic scorers are replacement, as is the zielinski, Zalewski and Frattesi circles, this last heroic scorer at the end of the bench during the semi-final return to Barça (4-3, AP).
UEFA has just unveiled the team compositions and Luis Enrique, on the Paris side, therefore chose Doué rather than Barcola (replacement) to accompany Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé in attack. It was the only uncertainty since we find Ruiz, Vitinha and Neves in the middle, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho and Mendes in Defense and Donnarumma in order. In addition to Barcola, the offensives Ramos and Lee will also be solutions on the bench, as is the Relayer Zaïre-Emery environment.
Effective point: the two teams are complete for this final and have no injuries or suspended. Kvaratskhelia, who had missed the last French Cup final for migraines on Saturday evening, is in good shape and there is no subject, says PSG, while Inter can count on his captain Martinez, who has not played a minute since his release during the return match against Barça. The same goes for Pavard, absent in the last six games (the last more than a month ago).
The route was less complex for Nerazzurri than for regular PSG, with “only” two shocks (there too City and Arsenal) in eight days and a fourth place obtained. Simone Inzaghi's troop then easily released the Feyenoord in eighth (4-1 in two matches), before having a lot to do against Bayern (1-2, 2-2), recent Germany champion, then Barça (3-3, 4-3, AP), Spanish champion.
For its part, Inter Milan has already won the C1 three times in its history, in 1964 and 1965 and more recently in 2010, against Bayern (2-0). The Nerazzurri also lost three finals (1967, 1972 and… 2023). Thirteen players of the current workforce experienced the defeat against City (1-0), two years ago, including seven expected once again holders this Saturday evening: Acerbi, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Di Marco, Martinez.
This season, it is a much more generous course that preceded the presence of PSG during this final deadline. Atlético, Manchester City, Arsenal and Bayern were for example 4 of the 8 opponents from the regular phase, a very complicated table leading Paris to the dam (10-0 in two matches against Brest). The players of Luis Enrique then eliminated three cadors of the Premier League: Liverpool (recent champion), Aston Villa (6th) and Arsenal (vice-champion).
Paris will compete this Saturday evening the second final of the Champions League in its history, five years after the 2020 failure against Bayern (1-0). That year, Cavid period, the UEFFA before improvised an end 8 in camera on the wire, allowing PSG to access the said final after two victories against Bergamo and Leipzig.
