Another name will be added to the list of Champions League winners in Munich on Saturday night after Paris Saint-Germain play Inter in the final of the 2024-25 competition. PSG are yet to record their first victory in the competition while Inter are seeking their first success since 2010.

Teams from Spain (eight wins), England (four wins) or Germany (two wins) have won each year since 2011, but that trend is set to change this year with the trophy heading to either France or Italy.
