Career Overview
The 2025 UEFA Champions League Final represented a historic milestone for both clubs.
Paris Saint-Germain entered the final seeking the first Champions League trophy in club history after years of domestic dominance and several deep European runs. Luis Enrique assembled a younger, more balanced squad built around collective play rather than superstar dependence.
Inter Milan reached their second Champions League final in three seasons under Simone Inzaghi. Their tactical 3-5-2 system had eliminated several elite opponents during the knockout rounds before reaching Munich.
