Inter, managed by Simone Inzaghi, rely on a robust 3-5-2 formation, with goalkeeper Yann Sommer recording nine clean sheets and wing-back Denzel Dumfries neutralizing top wingers. The final marks a tactical battle, with PSG’s fluid attack facing Inter’s disciplined defense, anchored by Alessandro Bastoni and Francesco Acerbi. Key matchups include Kvaratskhelia versus Dumfries and Martínez against PSG’s Marquinhos.
