What time is Inter Milan vs PSG?

The match kicked off at 21:00 CEST on 31 May 2025 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, as confirmed by PSG’s official match report. This is the standard primetime slot UEFA uses for the Champions League final to maximize viewership across Europe.

Where is the Champions League final today?

The 2025 UEFA Champions League final was held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. ESPN (sports broadcaster) reports an attendance of 64,327. The ground, home to FC Bayern Munich, has a capacity of 75,000 and offered a neutral yet football-mad setting for the European showpiece.

Who is injured for PSG?

Based on the confirmed starting XI, PSG fielded a full-strength squad with no notable absences. Key players such as Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé and Hakimi all started, as listed in UEFA’s official lineup page. No injury reports surfaced ahead of the final.

Who is favored to win, PSG or Inter Milan?

Pre-match analysis from NBC Sports (US sports outlet) and Sports Illustrated (sports magazine) both tipped PSG as the stronger side on paper, pointing to their deep, creative midfield and rapid wide attackers. Inter’s defensive resilience in the tournament made them a dangerous underdog, but the final result showed the gap in class.

Source: PSG’s official match report

Five players, one pattern: PSG’s 4-3-3 gave them a numerical advantage in midfield, where Vitinha and Ruiz controlled possession while Neves disrupted Inter’s transitions. Inter’s 3-5-2 often left their wing‑backs exposed to Doué and Dembélé.

The comparison table below highlights the positional matchups.

Position PSG player Inter player
Goalkeeper Donnarumma Sommer
Center‑back Marquinhos / Pacho Acerbi / Bastoni
Midfield anchor Vitinha Çalhanoğlu
Wide threat Dembélé / Doué Dumfries / Dimarco

The pattern: PSG’s wide attackers consistently outmatched Inter’s wing-backs in one-on-one situations.

Why this matters

Luis Enrique’s decision to start Doué over Barcola paid off: Doué scored twice and stretched Inter’s back three, creating space for Kvaratskhelia’s late strike.

Is the UEFA final 2 legs?

No. The Champions League final is a single match, as confirmed by the fixture being a standalone event on UEFA’s competition schedule. Unlike earlier knockout rounds that are played over two legs, the final is a one-off decider.
