1. Lautaro Martínez (Inter) – The Nerazzurra soul 🔵⚫️

The Inter captain is the man for big occasions. With his combativeness, his precision in front of the goal, and his flair, he embodies the Milanese fighting spirit.

2. Ousmane Dembélé (PSG) – The Firefly 🎇

Unpredictable, baffling, capable of genius moves at any moment... Dembélé has proven this season that nothing is impossible for him.

His duel against Dimarco will be one of the keys to the final. This season, in big matches, he has always been present with goals against Arsenal, Liverpool, and City.

And if he hasn't scored, he has been a decisive passer. In short, a lot is expected from him on the Parisian side.

3. Désiré Doué (PSG) - The Gem 💎

Unlike the previous two, he hasn't always been a fixture.

It took him a few weeks to establish himself in Luis Enrique's plans.

After various masterclasses in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, the former Rennes player has shown that he is a prodigy capable of tipping any match with a single move.

Whether he starts or comes in on Saturday, you'll need to keep an eye on every one of his accelerations.

And especially if Inter were to opt for a defensive strategy, he could be the key to the match.

5. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (PSG) - The Tireless 🐎

His integration in Paris was express this winter, to the point of becoming an essential element for Luis Enrique.

6. Hakan Çalhanoğlu (Inter) - The Artilleryman 🎯
