The upcoming 2024-25 UEFA Champions League final is poised to make history, as it will feature the first ever official competitive meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. These two prominent European clubs are scheduled to face each other on the season`s most significant stage for the first time.
The final is set to be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich on May 31st. While this marks their inaugural official encounter, PSG and Inter have previously met on six occasions in friendly matches over the past years. Both sides earned their place in the final after navigating through challenging semifinal ties; Inter advanced after their semi-final match, and PSG secured their spot by defeating Arsenal over two legs.
Previous Encounters and Final History
For Inter Milan, the 2024-25 final will be their seventh appearance in the Champions League final throughout their history. They hold a record of three victories and three defeats in their previous six final matches. Paris Saint-Germain, by contrast, is reaching the final for only the second time. Their only prior appearance was in the 2020 edition, where they were defeated by Bayern Munich.
As noted, the six previous occasions where Inter and PSG have played against each other were strictly friendly games, typically part of preseason tours or exhibition events. Their most recent non-competitive match occurred at the beginning of the 2023-24 season during a tour in Japan. In that game, Inter Milan emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline, thanks to goals from Sebastiano Esposito and Stefano Sensi.
