“Can punish them” – Wesley Sneijder makes Champions League final prediction ahead of Inter Milan vs PSG 

Wesley Sneijder has seemingly predicted Inter Milan to come out on top against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League final. The two sides meet at the Allianz Arena for this clash on Saturday night, May 31.

Inter Milan managed to defeat Barcelona on their way to the final, while PSG got past Arsenal in the final four. Claiming that the Nerazzurri are one of the only teams capable of neutralising the Parisians’ attacking threat, Sneijder told Metro:

He added:

Inter Milan have qualified for their second Champions League final in three years, after having made it to this stage in 2023. On that occasion, they were defeated 1-0 by Manchester City.

Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic expressed his desire to watch the UEFA Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan. He may not get the opportunity to do so with his third-round Roland-Garros tie set to take place around the same time.

However, the 38-year-old has clarified that his allegiances will lie with the Ligue 1 team. Discussing the final and talking to reporters about it, the Serbian said (via TNT Sports):

PSG will be eyeing the highest honor in club football, having never won this competition before. The last time they made it to the final was during the 2019/20 season, when they were beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich.
