Saturday 31st May – 20:00 Kick-off
The 2025 UEFA Champions League final is set to be a historic encounter between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Inter Milan, taking place on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00.
Road to the Final
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG): PSG secured their spot in the final by overcoming Arsenal in the semi-finals with a 3-1 aggregate victory. Fabian Ruiz played a pivotal role, scoring early in the second leg to set the tone for the match. Despite a late goal from Bukayo Saka for Arsenal, PSG maintained their lead to advance to their second Champions League final in recent years.
Inter Milan: Inter’s path to the final was marked by a dramatic semi-final against Barcelona. After consecutive 3-3 draws, the tie extended into extra time, where Inter clinched victory, demonstrating resilience and tactical prowess under manager Simone Inzaghi.
Significance of the Match
This final is noteworthy as it marks the first UEFA Champions League final without representation from English, Spanish, or German clubs since the 2003-04 season, when Porto defeated Monaco. Additionally, it is the inaugural final under UEFA’s new Swiss-system format, which expanded the tournament to 36 teams in the league phase.
Venue and Entertainment
The Allianz Arena, home to Bayern Munich, will host the final. Known for its modern architecture and capacity of over 75,000, it previously hosted the Champions League final in 2012. Adding to the event’s allure, American rock band Linkin Park is scheduled to perform during the opening ceremony, promising an electrifying start to the evening.
