Champions League Final Preview: PSG vs I...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

On Saturday, PSG will face Inter in the 24/25 Champions League final in Munich. 


It will be the meeting of the oldest versus the youngest team from the knockout stage, will experience or youthful exuberance prevail?


The Athletic’s Italian football correspondent James Horncastle and French football specialist Tom Williams join Ayo Akinwolere to preview the game.


Can Luis Enrique’s decision to ditch the ‘superstars’ and change the culture at PSG be validated with the clubs first Champions League trophy or will Inter and Inzaghi achieve the respect they have perhaps deserved more of over the last few years? 


Host: Ayo Akinwolere

Guests: James Horncastle, Tom Williams

Executive Producer: Adey Moorhead

Producer: Jay Beale
