PSG and Inter Milan collide in the Champions League final in Munich tonight.
A mouth-watering final awaits in just a few hours after an unforgettable European campaign this season.
Paris Saint-Germain have never lifted the famous trophy but victory at the Allianz Arena would see them achieve an historic treble after they lifted the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France.
They notably knocked out Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to reach Munich and would become only the second French side to win the competition after Olympique Marseille in 1993.
Luis Enrique has only one minor injury concern to deal with, namely Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who was forced to pull out of last week’s cup final at the last minute.
It is said the winger should be fine to start in Munich alongside Ousmane Dembele, who has 33 goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances this season.
If Kvaratskhelia is fit, the only question mark will be over who completes the front three, with Bradley Barcola or Desire Doue vying to start on the right-flank.
While Matvey Safonov started the cup final, Gianluigi Donnarumma will be in goal following his heroic performances in the knockout stages, with Enrique expected to stick to his winning 4-3-3 system.
Meanwhile, Inter are hoping to bounce back after missing out on the Serie A title to Napoli by winning their fourth Champions League and first since Jose Mourinho’s treble-winners in 2010.
Captain Lautaro Martinez has not played at all since his side’s epic semi-final win over Barcelona thanks to a hamstring injury.
The striker was not even fully fit for that match but is expected to make his comeback in Munich, leading the line alongside Marcus Thuram in Simone Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 formation.
Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck are hoping to be fit in time after struggling with minor ankle and knee issues, but only one of the centre-backs will start.
Piotr Zielinski has recovered from a muscle issue while former Arsenal and Manchester United attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan should be in the line-up.
