There's something more likable about this PSG side though... Full of young talent instead of the big egos of the past.

Play great football also
Yeah absolutely. Fair play to Dembele too he was being totally written off by plenty with his injury record.
Youse are getting on like PSG are plucky outsiders instead of being fueled by a multi-billion Qatari slush fund. The QIA has about £0.5 *trillion* in it!

You've obviously never played football manager.

If you got 500 million euro of Qatari money there's no joy in buying galacticos... Buy the young guns instead.

Nothing beats your 1.2m wonderkid signing from Ecuador Divison 2 scoring the UCL winning goal for you

I think Inter are the best team at present of the 4. PSG and Barça will both be amazing in a few years. Arsenal will always be Arsenal.

Arsenal have lost the last 4 semi finals they've been in,throw in 3 runners up in a row in the Premier League(might not even finish second this season actually)
Apart from a Covid FA Cup has Arteta really been a success?
Tomorrow is not guaranteed

The covid competition year, nothing counted that year in terms of leagues and cups

Yes. For the reasons you listed.

PSG were rank outsiders at one stage,  40/1 at the end of November.
Before the last 16 knockouts began PSG were 14/1, relative outsiders well behind the big guns.
I don't bet myself but I was touting PSG at those odds before the knockout phase to some friends.

Be an interesting final, Inter have score a few goals and let in a few goals which is not very Italian, be interesting to see if they are both open come the final, probably be a 1-0 job after all those goals..

Not sure who'll win it to be fair its fairly tight, and unpredictable this year

In the group stage they were on the verge of elimination.  Opening 5 games W1 D1 L3. They ended up winning their last 3 group games to finish 15th in the table. In the knock out stage Liverpool and Villa beat them so they go into this final with 5 defeats under their belts and will probably be the most ever for a winner should they go on to win in Munich?

Inter Milan have lost just one of their 14 Champions League games this season which was 1-0 away to Bayer Leverkusen and the only goal scored in the 90th minute.

PSG have a team which is greater than the sum of its parts. They play very well together and they don't get ruffled. Inter are a bit older. I'd fancy PSG. They have left their Mayoness behind.
