Their youthful, starving team destroyed Inter Milan 5-0 in the most thumping Champions League final of all time as well as swept both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the USA. Winning would get them their sixth title of 2025.
The PSG team has a balanced team in terms of arrangement. Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are on the offensive. There is a midfield including Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha, who control the game, with full-backs Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi stretching the game.

The defence is anchored by Captain Marquinhos flanked on his left by Willian Pacho with Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal. Getting rid of big name egos and replacing them with new stars has been the means of PSG getting back on its track.
The club has instead spent the money on youth players like Neves (Benfica), Doue (Rennes) and Pacho (Frankfurt) than Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe. The signing of Kvaratskhelia, who has been a revelation at January came at a cost of the 59m. Saturday would see PSG set to stay on track of matching the record of six trophies in a single calendar year; beating Spurs.
