Simone Inzaghi’s talent-packed team will be underdogs against PSG but believe they have learned from 2023 agonyTaking part in a Champions League final is not a thing anyone should take for granted, but some players more than others at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday will recognise that this might be their last chance. Francesco Acerbi, at 37 years and 110 days, would become the third-oldest man to play in and win the competition’s showpiece if he can help Inter beat Paris St-Germain.“I’m calm, but also agitated,” said the centre-back during the Italian club’s media open day at the start of this week. “The closer it gets the more tense I feel.
