Tactical Outlook
- PSG will likely dominate possession and look to press Inter high. Their attacking trio has been fluid and lethal, with midfielders adding goals at key moments.
- Inter will aim to absorb pressure and hit on the break, using their 3-5-2 system to create overloads in transition. Their ability to strike from wide positions has been crucial in recent rounds.
Expect a fast-paced, intense start, with PSG trying to set the tone early, and Inter looking to frustrate and pounce on mistakes.
Prediction: Who Has the Edge?
Both teams have navigated tough routes to Munich, but PSG’s blend of momentum, attacking form, and psychological hunger may just tip the scales.
They’ve knocked out three Premier League sides, scoring freely and defending with increasing discipline. Meanwhile, Inter’s dramatic wins suggest resilience, but they’ve also conceded in almost every knockout tie.
If PSG maintain their attacking fluency and focus, this could finally be the night Paris celebrates a European crown.
