The 2025 UEFA Champions League Final is upon us: Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Milan, live from Munich’s Allianz Arena on Saturday. For the purists, it’s a tactical showdown between two of Europe’s most disciplined sides.

But for the rest of us, the neutrals, the petty haters, the emotionally scarred (The Arsenal and Barca fans), this is the perfect opportunity to indulge in some good-natured “schadenfreude”.

Here’s your ultimate guide to watching the final through the lens of chaos, comedy, and pure hate.

The Final We Didn’t Know We Needed

This final marks the first time since 2021 that neither Real Madrid nor Manchester City are present, offering a refreshing change in the Champions League landscape.

PSG, under Luis Enrique, have transformed from a star-studded ensemble to a cohesive unit, emphasizing teamwork over individual brilliance.

Inter Milan, led by Simone Inzaghi, return to the final after a dramatic 7–6 aggregate victory over Barcelona in the semi-finals, showcasing their resilience and tactical acumen.

It’s a new format for the Champions League and a return for free-flowing football. This final ushers in a new era where attacking football is more direct than the Guardiola-inspired possession football. It’s a final we didn’t know we needed.

Where the Chaos Might Erupt

PSG’s Pressing

While PSG have shown improved cohesion, their vulnerability under high pressing remains a concern. Inter’s midfield trio, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Nicolò Barella, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, are adept at disrupting build-up play, potentially forcing errors in PSG's defensive third.

Inter’s Conundrum

Inter’s defensive solidity is notable, but they could be susceptible to rapid attacks by PSG’s pacey forwards, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. A misplaced or overcommitment in attack could leave them exposed. If they choose to sit deep, PSG’s relentless pressing and a more youthful midfield could create problems for them.

Set-Piece Shenanigans

A poorly defended corner or free-kick could lead to unexpected goals, adding to the match's unpredictability.

Moments to Watch for Maximum Entertainment

Goalkeeper Gaffes

Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG) and Yann Sommer (Inter) are top-class and are nearly faultless in goal, but under the pressure of a final, even the best can falter. A misjudged cross or a misplaced could provide comedic relief.

Celebration Misfires

Overzealous goal celebrations have backfired before. Keep an eye out for any premature celebrations that might be followed by VAR interventions.

Managerial Meltdowns

Luis Enrique and Simone Inzaghi are known for their ionate touchline antics. A contentious decision or a missed opportunity could lead to animated reactions worth watching.

*For the Fans Who Just Want Drama*

If you're tuning in not for the love of the game but for the love of drama:

Root for Extra Time (with plenty goals...)


The longer the match, the higher the chances of fatigue-induced errors and unexpected twists.

Hope for Penalties

Nothing beats the tension of a penalty shootout, especially when players known for their composure step up.

Cheer for the Underdog Moments

An unexpected goal from a defender or a last-minute equalizer can turn the game on its head.

Football’s Best Plot Twist is Happening

The match kicks off at 8 PM on Saturday on SuperSport. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just here for the drama, the 2025 Champions League Final promises to deliver moments worth ing, for better or worse.

They all want Inter Milan to win. Not because they like inter, it’s just because PSG destroyed all 4 Premier league teams and sent them packing out of the champions league.
