MUNICH.- The confrontation between the Paris Saint-Germain and the Inter from Milan Saturday in Munich is not only an unprecedented final in the Champions League, but it is the first duel between both teams in the official match.
Inter, which has three titles (the last one in 2010), and Paris Saint-Germain, which disputes its second final (the first in 2020), have never crossed in the entire history of European glasses.
An incongruity for two teams that have dozens of continental campaigns.
To find traces of matches between both clubs you have to look in the history of friendly duels, which do not abound either.
In total there are five, the most recent in the Boreal summer of 2023 in Japan, with Luis Enrique and Simone Inzaghi already as coaches of both teams.
