Make or break for ageing Inter in Champions League final

Inter Milan might not be favourites for the Champions League final but their thrilling run to Saturday's showdown with Paris Saint-Germain has shown the ageing Italian outfit can mix it with the best.

Simone Inzaghi's team head to Munich with a legitimate shot at going one better than in Istanbul two years ago, when a very similar line-up was narrowly beaten by Manchester City.

Inzaghi felt the 2023 final was a missed opportunity after matching mega-rich City, whose budget dwarves that of Inter, a member of Europe's old guard battling to keep up with the continent's superclubs.

Qatari-owned PSG offer the opportunity for Inter to exorcise the ghost of Istanbul while also ending an enthralling season with the most prestigious piece of silverware in club football after missing out on domestic honours.

"The club and above all the players all know that we're missing that final step to make history," Inzaghi told reporters on Monday.

"Obviously already having played the final helps you, but we also know that on the other side there are players who have won the World Cup and have played in other finals, as well as a coach who has already won the Champions League."
