Chaotic PSG triumph in Munich as Inter Milan suffers defeat in Champions League final
Munich, Germany - The eagerly anticipated Champions League Final unfolded in Munich on Saturday, with Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan locking horns. Despite the lack of German teams in the contest, the game drew fervent anticipation among football enthusiasts.
Before the match, the streets of Munich were teeming with Inter fans, giving the impression that they held the upper hand. However, by evening's end, Paris Saint-Germain claimed a resounding victory, securing their first Champions League trophy with a dominating 5-0 (2:0) win.
Throughout the day, the fan festival maintained a vibrant atmosphere, with Inter supporters outnumbering others. Even legends of the game, Kaka and Esteban Cambiasso, winners of the Champions League with Inter in 2010 against FC Bayern, joined in the action, playing with children on a small pitch for a charitable cause.
Three hours prior to the match, the fan zone in the Olympiapark could no longer accommodate the surging crowd - an estimated 20,000 fans had already been allowed in, but access was subsequently closed, a city spokesman indicated. Alternative fan zones remain accessible for those wishing to watch the game amidst a crowd, such as the Königsplatz or certain beer gardens within the city.
It is worth noting that the 2021 Champions League Final did not take place between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. The actual 2021 Champions League Final occurred on May 29, 2021, at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto, Portugal, where Chelsea triumphed over Manchester City with a score of 1-0. Additionally, the 2025 Champions League Final saw Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan face off, with PSG securing a 5-0 victory.
