PSG v Inter Milan Predicted Starting Lineups for UEFA Champions League Final

Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will go head-to-head in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday night at the Allianz Arena.

Luis Enrique’s side come into the game after being crowned Ligue 1 champions for a fourth consecutive season, while they reached the final after defeating Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal en route to the final, losing just once over those eight games. Simone Inzaghi’s side on the other hand were pipped to the Serie A title by Napoli and finished second, while they have reached the final following victories over Feyenoord, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

Both sides have got some big decisions to make over their lineups for the game now, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the teams to start.

Kimpembe big doubt

Paris Saint-Germain will be coming into the game in Munich with a near fully-fit squad for the Champions League final, with defender Presnel Kimpembe the only major injury doubt.

Enrique must make a decision on his attack with Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola and Desire Doue all pushing to start in the front three.

Enrique Drops Team News Update

Speaking ahead of the game in his pre-match press conference, Enrique spoke about the match.

PSG Predicted XI

Doue to start over Barcola

• Paris Saint-Germain Predicted XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Vitinha, Neves, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
• Paris Saint-Germain Predicted Substitutes: Tenas (GK), Safonov (GK), Kimpembe (DEF), Hernandez (DEF), Beraldo (DEF), Zaire-Emery (MID), Mayulu (MID), Barcola (FWD), Lee Kang-In (FWD), Ramos (FWD).

Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaire-Emery earn a combined £435,000-per-week in the French capital, but they will probably find themselves on the bench with Enrique highly unlikely to make any surprise calls for this game.

Pavard could return

Inzaghi could be set to welcome back France international Benjamin Pavard to the squad after a spell on the sidelines, while fellow defender Yann Bisseck is also expected to recover from a knock.

Piotr Zielinski is also expected to be available which leaves midfielder Valentin Carboni as the only major doubt for the game.

Inter Milan Predicted XI

Martinez to lead the line

• Inter Milan Predicted XI: Sommer; Bisseck, Bastoni, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.

With Pavard set to return from a spell on the sidelines he will be pushing to start, but Bisseck should be rewarded by keeping his place in the side. Marcus Thuram and captain Lautaro Martinez will continue up front too, leaving £225,000-a-week duo Piotr Zielinski and Mehdi Taremi on the bench.
