Parisians on verge of turning obsession into reality after ditching big-name stars.

Can galactico-less PSG realise Champions League dream at last?

Paris Saint-Germain stand on the brink of history as they prepare to face Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday.

Winning Europe's premier club competition has been an obsession for PSG's Qatari owners since they bought the French club in 2011, and now that dream is within touching distance.

For so long, it felt like PSG were cursed in the Champions League. The past decade has been littered with painful defeats, including their most famous heartbreak in 2017 when they crashed out after blowing a 4-0 first-leg lead by losing 6-1 to Barcelona in the last 16. There was also defeat in the 2019 final and a semi-final exit last season when they lost 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund after hitting the woodwork a staggering six times across the two legs.

This season, PSG had looked destined for more Champions League misery after starting their league phase campaign with just one win in their opening five games.
