Champions League Final: PSG Faces Inter Milan in Munich Showdown

Munich, Germany – The excitement builds as the Champions League Final kicks off today at 21:00 local time, featuring Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) against Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena.

Highlighting the event is Javier Pastore, a legendary figure for PSG, who will present the trophy before the match. Pastore, who played 269 matches for the club, is set to carry the trophy alongside Inter Milan’s Javier Zanetti. Although he left PSG in 2018, Pastore remains a beloved figure in the Paris football community.

Since early 2025, Pastore has served as an official club ambassador for PSG, engaging in media and sponsor events without a formal athletic role. He joined PSG in 2011 from Palermo for €42 million and enjoyed significant success, claiming five league titles and four French Cups.

Paris faces Inter Milan, a team seeking to revive its glory since last winning the Champions League in 2010. That historic win was under the management of José Mourinho when they defeated Bayern Munich 2-0. Both clubs have rich histories and passionate fanbases, fueling the anticipation for tonight’s face-off.

Another key figure is Mario Gomez, the former Bayern Munich star, who reflected on his own Champions League experiences ahead of the final. Currently a technical director at RB Leipzig, Gomez recalled vividly the heartbreak of losing the 2012 final against Chelsea.

Gomez spoke about the importance of resilience and teamwork, qualities he believes were pivotal in past championship successes. As the stakes rise, fans are eager to witness whether PSG can claim their first Champions League title or if Inter Milan can reestablish their dominance on the European stage.

With both teams boasting star-studded lineups, the final promises to be a thrilling encounter, bringing together football fans from around the globe.
