Luis Enrique has a fully fit squad at his disposal for the showpiece clash at the Allianz Arena. However, that luxury means the Spanish tactician will need to make a few tough decisions.

After scoring a brace in the Coupe de France final last weekend, Bradley Barcola may have sealed his place the team sheet. The Frenchman is competing for a spot on either flank against electrifying wingers Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Over the past week the latter has been struggling with a knock, although the 24-year-old has reportedly overcome the minor issue.

Former AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to reclaim his place in between the sticks. Second-choice stopper Matvey Safonov was preferred for PSG’s final victory over Reims last Saturday.

Inter will be desperate to collect some silverware after missing out on the Serie A title by a single point to Napoli.

Simone Inzaghi has approached the final cautiously by resting the majority of his typical starting eleven last Friday against Como. Nicolo Barella and Denzel Dumfries were introduced off the bench while Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Alessandro Bastoni were unused substitutes.

Inter captain Martinez hasn’t featured at all since the Champions League semi-final win over Barcelona. The Argentine was forced off with a hamstring issue and has been protected ever since.

Benjamin Pavard and Piotr Zielinski will be assessed following recent injury troubles.

PSG: LWWWW

Paris Saint-Germain are one win away from completing the treble this season, having already secured a league and cup double.

The Parisians were on course to become the first team in French top-flight history to go an entire campaign undefeated. But, with just four games remaining, they fell to a home defeat to Nice in April before losing away to Strasbourg. Last weekend they comfortably dispatched of Reims in the Coupe de France final.

PSG swept aside three English sides during their devastating run through the Champions League knockout stages. After progressing through the league phase in an unconvincing manner, Enrique’s men eliminated Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal.

They held their nerve in the round of 16 to knock out the Premier League champions on penalties at Anfield before beating Villa in the quarter-final and the Gunners in the last four.

Tonight they have the chance to make history. When long-serving chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi arrived at the club in 2011, he promised to make the Paris-based club a European heavyweight. In Munich his oath can be fulfilled.

Inter: WWWDW

Inter have the opportunity to arrest some demons in this competition tonight. Tow years ago the Nerazzurri were narrowly defeated in the Champions League final to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

It has now been 15 years since the Milanese outfit last got their hands on the trophy, affectionately referred to as ‘Big Ears’.

On their road to the final this term, Simone Inzaghi and his players prevailed over Bayern Munich before dramatically knocking out favourites Barcelona in the semi-final.

With his side just seconds away from elimination, veteran defender Francesco Acerbi netted a stoppage-time equaliser in the second leg to take the game to extra time. Davide Frattesi scored the winner in the 99th minute to make the score 7-6 on aggregate and haul his team into the final.

Inter are unbeaten in six matches and, after missing out on the Scudetto and Coppa Italia, Inzaghi will be hoping for success on the continental stage. A case of third time’s the charm?
