Inter Milan’s Kit Selection for Champions League Final: The Reason Behind the Choice

The highly anticipated Champions League final between Inter Milan and Paris St. Germain (PSG) in Munich this Saturday is set to start at 8 p.m. GMT and will mark a historic occasion as it is the first time that these two elite clubs will face each other in an official match and the first time that Inter will wear their striking third uniform, a bright golden yellow strip.

PSG, designated as the home team for this grand showdown, will follow tradition by donning their iconic navy blue shirts and shorts, complemented by their distinctive white and red stripe. This kit clash has necessitated a departure from Inter’s classic black and blue colors. The Italian team has boldly opted to wear the eye-catching golden yellow uniform with dramatic black elements, along with sleek black shorts, instead of their alternate white strip with blue trim. This gives their final look a sense of individuality.Superstition may play a significant role in this kit selection, as Simone Inzaghi’s team has experienced notable success while wearing yellow this season. In the group stage of the Champions League, they secured crucial victories in both matches when dressed in their golden kit. Among these are a resolute 1-0 victory over Sparta Prague in January and a decisive 2-0 triumph over Feyenoord in March. On the other hand, their only defeat in the competition came in a December game against Bayer Leverkusen, when they were wearing white shirts.

This final is Inter’s sixth appearance in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League’s legendary history. In 2023, they lost 1-0 to Manchester City in their most recent final appearance, which left them disappointed. Prior to their historic victory in 2010, when they defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 to win their most recent trophy, Inter Milan had already won this coveted competition three times, in 1964 and 1965. The stakes are enormous as Inter gets ready to play PSG because they want to add yet another remarkable chapter to their already legendary football history.
