On the offensive end, Anthony, who was rented from Manchester United in the winter window, was in good condition.

Former Beijing Guoan foreign aid and Isco were also important scoring points of the team. Their performance will determine whether the team can win the championship.

Chelsea, Forfana, Kellyman and Nkunku were absent due to injury.

June 1000 UEFA Champions League Paris VS Inter Milan

This is the first time that Paris and Inter Milan have fought in the European history. Last weekend, both teams played a game, and Paris defeated Reims 3-0 in the French Cup final, won the second championship of the season and won four consecutive victories. Inter Milan defeated Cuomo 2-0 away in the final game of Serie A, and finally won the league runner-up with a 1-point disadvantage. This is the second time in Paris' history that they have participated in the Champions League final. The last time was in the 2019-20 season, when they lost to Paris 0-1 and missed the championship. Inter Milan ushered in its 7th Champions League final in team history, the most recent time was in the 2022-23 season, when it lost to Manchester City 0-1.

This Champions League final is of great significance to Paris. If it can defeat Inter Milan, it will be the first Champions League champion in the history of the team, achieving a historic breakthrough, and becoming the first triple champion in Ligue 1 history. Before that, there were only Celtics (1966-67 season), Ajax (1971-72 season), Eindhoven (1987-88), Manchester United (1998-99 season), Barcelona (2008-09 season, 2014-15 season), Inter Milan (2009-10 season), Bayern (2012-13 season, 2019-20 season) and Manchester City (2022-23 season).

If Inter Milan can win the Champions League, it will be the second time that it won this honor after 15 years. At the same time, it surpassed Manchester United and tied with Ajax, who tied for 4 championships, and ranked 6th in the Champions League history championship list, second only to Real Madrid (15 championships), Milan (7 championships), Bayern (6 championships), Liverpool (6 championships) and Barcelona (5 championships). If Inter Milan fails to win the Champions League, they may be one of the most frustrated teams in Europe this season, as they previously lost at the last minute in both Serie A and Copa Italy, which could severely hit the morale of the Nerazzurri.

This game is the most important battle for Paris striker Dembele to this year's Golden Ball Awards. This season, he scored 33 goals and assisted 11 times, including 8 goals in the Champions League. He scored key goals in important games many times, such as Arsenal in the semi-finals scored 1 goal and 1 assist, and Liverpool in the second leg of the 1/8 finals scored a goal to equalize the score. In addition, Balcola, who scored 21 goals, Gonzalo Ramos, who scored 18 goals, and Douai, who gave 13 goals and 13 assists, are all important scoring points of the team, and they will put huge pressure on Inter Milan's defense.

Compared with Paris' offensive line, Inter Milan is slightly thin, with the main scoring points on Lautaro and Toulam Jr., the former scored 22 goals, the latter scored 18 goals, and both Cialhanoglu and Dumfries scored 11 goals. These four players have taken over most of the team's goals throughout the season. Their performance will affect whether the team can win the championship in the end. It is worth mentioning that Inter Milan will usher in two familiar figures in this Champions League final, namely Ashraf and Skriniar. They both played at Inter Milan and then completed transfers in 2021 and 2023..
