It’s finally time for **PSG vs Inter**, the grand final of the **2024/25 Champions League**. The Allianz Arena in Munich is ready to host the match that will determine the title of the strongest team in Europe. Here is our in-depth analysis of **PSG**—tactical secrets, key strategies, and probable lineups for Simone **Inzaghi** and **Luis Enrique**.

## How PSG Plays

**Luis Enrique’s** PSG has developed a clear tactical identity in the 2024/25 season, which we will analyze ahead of the final against **Inter**. The basic formation is 4-3-3, with a 4-2-3-1 used in some matches as a variant with **Doué** or **Kvaratskhelia** playing behind the striker to increase density between the lines.

Among the main features stands out the high and aggressive pressing to regain possession in the opponent’s half, with attackers and midfielders working together to immediately close down the first passing options. When dropping back, PSG shifts into a sort of 4-5-1, with the wingers dropping back to protect the flanks. **Pacho** and **Marquinhos** are crucial in this system in their one-on-one duels with opposing strikers and in cutting out passes.

If quick ball recovery and careful coverage of the central areas are strengths, it should also be noted that the defense can be particularly exposed against fast counterattacking teams who are good at bypassing the first line of pressure, like **Inter**.

Most likely, **PSG** will look to exploit the flanks with **Kvaratskhelia** and **Doué** to stretch Inter’s back three, creating space for midfield runs and for **Dembélé**. The French side’s ability to create numerical superiority on the wings—thanks also to **Hakimi** overlapping on one side and **Nuno Mendes** on the other—combined with the off-the-ball movement of the midfielders and quick transitions, make this PSG a team with plenty of options.

## PSG Key Players

Paris Saint-Germain relies on young talents such as **João Neves**, crucial for the fluidity of play in midfield, and Khvicha **Kvaratskhelia**, who made an immediate impact after joining from **Napoli** in January. **Dembélé**, seen as one of the main candidates for the next Ballon d’Or, is clearly the player who brings the most goals to the team. Other relevant names include the 19-year-old Désiré **Doué**, the true revelation of this season and blessed with exceptional technique, and William **Pacho**, a strong center-back who has formed an almost unbreakable partnership with **Marquinhos**.

## PSG Weak Points

Among this **PSG’s** weaknesses, their vulnerability to quick transitions once the first line of pressing is bypassed, and to counterattacks, stands out. **Luis Enrique’s** team uses an offensive approach, with full-backs pushing forward to provide width and support the attack. This leaves significant space behind them on the wings, which teams skilled at counterattacking can exploit. Another critical issue for **Luis Enrique’s** side is their defensive fragility on set pieces—a true strength for **Inzaghi’s Inter**.

## Luis Enrique’s Playing Style

**Luis Enrique** is known for his tactical approach inspired by Barcelona’s “tiki-taka,” but with modern adaptations. He prefers a fluid 4-3-3, emphasizing ball control, off-the-ball movement, and aggressive pressing to quickly regain possession. At **PSG**, over the last two years, he has worked hard to balance a star-studded attack with a more solid defense—an essential aspect after previous Champions League struggles. The Spaniard has thus implemented possession-based play and high pressing, but most of all, an adaptive mentality that has enabled him to earn a place in the Munich final.

## Probable Lineups: PSG vs Inter

**PSG 4-3-3:** Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia. Coach: Luis Enrique.

**INTER 3-5-2:** Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Thuram. Coach: Inzaghi.

## PSG vs Inter: Keys to the Match

**PSG** comes to the Champions League final with a renewed squad compared to recent seasons, led by emerging talents but also veterans. **Luis Enrique** has shaped a team identity built on possession,
