Tactical challenges are nothing new for Inter and Simone Inzaghi, who not only outmaneuvered favored Bayern Munich and Barcelona in previous rounds, but almost completely nullified a heavily-favored Man City and Erling Haaland in this finale at Istanbul two years ago, desperately unlucky not to force extra time or win outright in 90 minutes. Inter's crafty collection of vets has proven adaptable to several styles, including Barca's go-go approach which Inzaghi capitalizing upon with Denzel Dumfries and others, and Inter presents further problems with dual strikers Marcus Thuram and Lautaro. Moreover, PSG's usual edge in goal with Gigi Donnarumma is also negligible here as Inter's vet Swiss keeper Yann Sommer continues his own highlight reel in this competition.

Couldn't believe when I read that Saturday would be the first-ever major tournament matchup between the powerhouses from France and Italy. Not that I'm some soccer historian expert or even Ted Lasso, but still surprising. I somewhat expect a draw and will hope for the win -- six straight UCL finals have featured two goals or fewer ... obviously lower-scoring matches are more likely to draw. Inter's likely starting XI has an average age of 30 years and 4 months; Paris Saint-Germain's is 24 and 7 months. Inter has eight players who featured the last time it was in the UCL final two years ago; PSG has one starter who has played in a Champions League final at any time in his career.
