Munich Brims with Fans as PSG and Inter Milan Clash in Champions League Final

MUNICH — The Bavarian capital is abuzz with anticipation as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Inter Milan supporters flood the city in anticipation of tonight's UEFA Champions League final at the Allianz Arena. Kickoff is 9 p.m. local time.

Inter fans, some of whom are wearing black and waving flags, have created a boisterous atmosphere in the area around Odeonsplatz, while PSG fans gather more subdued at Königsplatz. While the atmospheres are different, the two groups of fans share the same hope: to see their team lift the highly coveted trophy.

Three-time European champions Inter Milan are hoping for a fourth title after falling short of domestic success by a hair's breadth this season. Coach Simone Inzaghi was proud of the four-year journey of his team. PSG, who are still awaiting their first Champions League crown, look to coach Luis Enrique to bring them a win. Enrique hopes to become the seventh coach to win the event with two different teams, having already achieved it with Barcelona in 2015.

The Allianz Arena, which for the final has been temporarily dubbed the "Munich Football Arena," will be packed with 64,500 fans. Security is tightened due to the high profile of the event. And to put the icing on the cake, American rock band Linkin Park will perform at the opening ceremony.

The city is electric with expectation as everyone's eyes are on the pitch where history awaits.
