Overview

• The Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan has kicked off at Munich’s Allianz Arena under referee Istvan Kovacs.
• UEFA selected Kovacs after he oversaw five PSG matches (three wins) and three Inter games (two wins, one draw) with a positive track record.
• The winning side stands to receive a record €10.5 million payout, potentially lifting season revenues to an unprecedented €150 million.
• Separate fan zones at Königsplatz and Odeonsplatz host up to 18,000 PSG and 16,500 Inter supporters under heightened security, prompting U-Bahn Line 6 block processing.
• Live broadcasts on ZDF, joyn.de and DAZN bring the match to global audiences alongside pre-kickoff performances by Linkin Park and a ceremony appearance from David Garrett.
