It represents club football’s pinnacle.
On Saturday night in Munich, Paris St-Germain and Inter Milan will square off against one another for the Champions League title.
In an expanded tournament that has resulted in shocks, drama, and scores, 36 teams from all over Europe have been reduced to two after 188 matches.
The tournament will be won by who?
Julien Laurens, a French football expert, says it’s difficult to call, especially if you’re a PSG fan. Inter have a lot of experience, which can help them win big games. Although my heart says PSG, my head is more centered and difficult to do so!
Italian football expert Mina Rzouki: I prefer PSG because Luis Enrique is a master at meistering these types of contests.
Ex-Germany midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger, a pundit for the Champions League match of the day, and Thomas Hitzlsperger, a pundit, says: “It’s a tough one because I admire Inter very much for making it to the final and they obviously deserve to be here.”
However, I’ve seen more of Paris St-Germain, and I’ve been so impressed by how they play.
I believe they will prevail, but anything is possible because I’ve been impressed by Inter, particularly when they lost to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, by how well they defend and how they can endure such long periods of suffering and find the right opportunities to attack.

Laurens: I’m going for Ousmane Dembele, though Raphinha is one of the contenders. His transformation this season has been incredible. He initially appeared to be leaving, but he has.
He is a great guy in the dressing room for everything he has done and how he changed the perception we all had of him. He used to play until 3 a.m., then go to bed, and then awaken late. was behind schedule for training, and it was unpopular. When you have the skills to succeed in a professional sport and have the qualities to succeed, it wasn’t that discipline.
He finally arrived there at age 27. He married and established a lot of discipline. And Luis Enrique has done a fantastic job of making him aware that leaders must lead and act in a certain manner both on and off the pitch.
In the 1073-000 minutes of Champions League play this season, Dembele has scored eight goals, five of them on his right foot and three of his left. He also has four assists.
Rzouki deserves praise, but I’ll give it to PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele deserve mention.
The Paris St-Germain goalkeeper has kept five clean sheets this season’s competition, with only Yann Sommer (seven) and David Raya (six) keeping more. He has also made some important saves during the French side’s run to the final.
Hitzlsperger: Normally, you would choose one of the finalist, but I think Raphinha because of his outstanding Barcelona performance.
I’ve been so impressed with Achraf Hakimi that it must be a PSG player.
I’m going to pick Raphinha because it’s difficult, but I’m going to do it because I’ve seen him perform exceptionally well overall.
One of two from that Barcelona team, according to Nicky Bandini, Champions League Match of the Day pundit. Everyone wants Yamal, but sometimes numbers come in, and Raphinha‘s numbers in this tournament are ridiculous.
Top assists provider and joint top scorer. And Raphinha once more scored in that absurd semi-final against Inter, when we were all enthralled by Yamal’s deeds.
Raphinha had a remarkable campaign, scoring 13 goals and adding nine assists in 14 games, despite his semi-final defeat to Inter Milan.
Moment of the tournament
Laurens: Probably due to Lamine Yamal’s performance in the semi-final against Inter’s first half. We had the impression that something was magical watching.
Rzouki: Tough, but I’m going to score Francesco Acerbi’s goal in Inter Milan’s semifinal against Barcelona.
Hitzlsperger: As a fan of Aston Villa, do you mind if I mention Jhon Duran scoring against Bayern Munich? Thinking about that brings back some fond memories of Villa’s Champions League moments, which are special to all Villa fans.
