As reported by Aseem Sharma on May 31, 2025, Jay Shah took to his social media platform, expressing his excitement about representing cricket at the Champions League finals. The UCL 2024-25 final match promises to be a nail-biting contest between these two top football clubs.
Here's Jay Shah's post: "Feeling honored to hang with @UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin in Munich before the @championsleague Final and chat about expanding the reach of cricket. It's awesome to chat with sporting leaders and learn from each other!"
Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of the upcoming match between PSG and Inter Milan.
PSG's Quest for the Treble
PSG, led by manager Luis Enrique, is aiming for a legendary treble by snagging the coveted Champions League trophy. They've already clinched the Ligue 1 and French Cup titles under Enrique's tactical guidance. Being the second manager after Pep Guardiola to achieve this astonishing feat with two different clubs, Enrique aims to make history once more.
With a tough semi-final win against Arsenal (3-1 on aggregate), PSG will be gunning for their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy. Unfortunately, their previous UCL final appearance in 2019-20 saw them lose 1-0 against Bayern Munich. But with their impressive performances this season, many believe they might make it to the top this time around.
Inter Milan's Last Stand for Silverware
On the other hand, Inter Milan lost the Serie A title to Napoli by a single point and exited the Coppa Italia in the semi-finals against AC Milan. Still, they have the UEFA Champions League final to fight for this season. They qualified for the final in a dramatic fashion, winning the semifinal over Barcelona (7-6) in a match that will surely go down as one of the most exciting in Champions League history.
Historically, Inter Milan has won the Champions League (or the European Cup) four times, but they haven't tasted victory since 2010. Fans are hoping this final will be a glorious comeback for the Italian team and a chance to etch their names in Champions League history once more.
In case you didn't know, Inter Milan has played in seven UEFA Champions League finals, with three wins and three losses. Their last final appearance was in 2023, where they lost (1-0) to Manchester City in Istanbul.
For those who love soccer, this UCL 2024-25 final match is sure to be a nail-biter!
