UEFA UCL Final: PSG V Inter Milan | The Champions League Show (Ep. 96)

This youthful PSG side have already seen off the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal this season, and they are the rightful favourites to go the distance against an Inter Milan side that have ridden their luck in this competition.
The Italians beat Barcelona in a 7-6 aggregate thriller in the semi-finals, but they lost the shot count 41-19 across the two leg— having nine shots on target to Barca’s 19 and generating 1.2 expected goals less than their opponents. The same was true in their quarter-final win over Bayern Munich, with the Italians losing on shots, shots on target, and expected goals in both legs.
