PSG starting lineup against Inter Milan in the Champions League final

Don’t expect any surprises from Luis Enrique this Saturday in the Champions League final. The Spanish manager has spent months shaping his go-to lineup, and he’ll trust the same core of players who have driven PSG’s European campaign. Donnarumma starts in goal, with a back line of Achraf, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Nuno Mendes.

Luis Enrique knows his team

The midfield trio of Vitinha, Neves, and Fabián Ruiz—untouchable throughout the tournament—will once again be tasked with winning the tactical battle in the center of the pitch, a key area that could tip the balance in PSG’s favor. Up front, Ligue 1 champion Dembélé will lead the line, while Kvaratskhelia, who missed last Saturday’s French Cup final with migraines, is back and expected to take his place on the left wing.

The one decision for PSG

The only real decision left for Luis Enrique is who will join Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia in the attack. Barcola, who scored twice in the Cup final, offers firepower and momentum. But Doué has been a game-changer off the bench throughout the Champions League, most notably in the round of 16 at Anfield against Liverpool.

At this point, PSG fans know the starting XI by heart. Luis Enrique is sticking with what works. The Parisian club is chasing its first ever European crown in just its second final—its first since 2020—against an Inter side still hungry after their defeat to City in Istanbul two years ago. A win would make PSG only the second French team to lift the trophy, following Marseille in 1993—also in Munich, also against a Milan side.

PSG side to face Inter Milan:

Donnarumma – Achraf, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Fabián, Vitinha, Neves – Barcola, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
