As everyone is surely aware at this point, PSG have famously never won the Champions League trophy, with billions of euro spent only leading to heartbreak after heartbreak.
However, on top of this iteration of the French giants looking very different to the big-name sides that so often blew up when it mattered most, there is a very interesting stat that further suggests this might just be their year.
Each of the previous four finals played in Munich (at both the Olympiastadion and the Allianz Arena) have remarkably seen a first-winner.
1979 was the turn of Nottingham Forest, before the 1990s saw Marseille ('93) and Borussia Dortmund ('97) hoist the famous trophy.
2012 was the first played at Bayern's current home stadium, and was a night of agonising pain for the Bavarians, as they shockingly lost to Chelsea on penalties.
That victory was the end of the Blues' own European odyssey, which only adds to this particular narrative for PSG, as does their only final loss coming to Bayern.
Simone Inzaghi and his battle-hardened Inter side will be a very tough nut to crack for Luis Enrique's men, but could it at last be the Parisians' time?
