PSG
Starting with PSG, while many last summer might have been curious as to how Luis Enrique’s side would cope without Kylian Mbappe, the French giants have enjoyed a history-making campaign in Paris. Breezing their way to a 13th domestic title and not having to get out of third gear, the former Barcelona boss has seen his superstar quad receive a string of plaudits from across the continent. Picking up some perfect momentum last weekend as they were crowned Coupe de winners thanks to a routine 3-0 romp against Reims, PSG are now just 90 minuets away from getting their hands on a maiden piece of European silverware. g off their Ligue 1 campaign with a 3-1 victory against Auxerre, Enrique’s camp have also gained a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third.
PSG Team News
Dealing with yet another injury setback earlier in the month, PSG will once again be without Presnel Kimpembe on Saturday night. However, aside from the French defender, Enrique’s side have reported a clean bill of health ahead of their trip to the Allianz Arena.
Enjoying what has been a sensational run of form this calendar year and notching eight goals in his 14 Champions League appearances, attacking talisman Ousmane Dembele will play a leading role in Munich. Making a real impact after completing a January switch from Napoli, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will partner Dembele in the final third.
Inter Milan
As for Inter Milan, while the Nerazzurri might have signed off their Serie A campaign with a 2-0 victory away at Como last weekend, Simone Inzaghi’s camp were left heartbroken as they relinquished their domestic crown. Enduring what was a public April struggle and never able to recover, there has also been plenty of recent speculation that the former Lazio boss could be leaving the San Siro following Saturday’s showpiece event. However, knowing that they can salvage their campaign by claiming a fourth European title here, Inter Milan have picked up some heavyweight scalps this season. Mounting what was an iconic comeback against Barcelona on May 6th as they edged past the newly-crowned Spanish champions thanks to a 7-6 aggregate win, Inzaghi’s side have also suffered just a sole European defeat during this year’s tournament.

In what could prove to be a huge boost for Inter Milan on Saturday night, French international defender Benjamin Pavard appears to have overcome an ankle injury. Likewise, despite missing out against Como last week, ex-Napoli ace Piotr Zielinski should also return to Inzaghi’s travelling squad.
Hand a full rest in Lombardy last week, skipper Lautaro Martinez will be handed a full recall at the Allianz Arena. Bagging a famous semi-final strike against Barcelona earlier in the month, veteran star ’s Acerbi will also return at the heart of Inzaghi’s defence.
