Wilshere is bullish on Inter: they can win the Champions League

I. Wilshere’s prediction: Inter will win the Champions League final

In a recent interview, former Premier League player Wilshere said that he thinks Inter Milan will win the Champions League final this year.

This time, the Champions League final will be held on May 31, 2025 at the Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich. Prior to that, Inter beat Barcelona in the semifinals, while Paris Saint-Germain beat Arsenal. These two teams made it to the final.

While a lot of people are favoring Paris at the moment because they just knocked out a very good Arsenal to win the Ligue 1 title, Wilshere is more optimistic about Inter.

Inter vs. Paris: Who has the better chance?

Inter have a lot of experience

Inter have the better record in Europe. They’ve won the Champions League three times, including in 2010 when they were coached by Jose Mourinho. They also reached the final two years ago, but lost to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

This time they are back in the final. Wilshere said: “I don’t think Inter will lose in the final. He believes this team is ready and experienced.

Paris hungry for first title

Paris Saint-Germain are strong, but they have yet to win the Champions League. The closest they came was in 2020, when they lost to Bayern Munich in the final.

However, Paris have changed a lot over the years. They’ve replaced a bunch of young, homegrown French players and the team plays with more unity. A lot of fans have started to support them too. Hargreaves then said: “Nowadays Paris don’t just rely on stars like before, they are becoming a real team”.

Thirdly, the experts have different opinions: some are optimistic about Inter, some support Paris

Wilshere and Hargreaves, two former players, have different views on the game.

• Wilshere: I support Inter, I think they will win.
• Hargreaves: I still favor Paris. Although sometimes the team with less possession wins instead, I still think Paris will manage to win this time.

Hargreaves also mentioned that the form of the entire Paris squad has improved significantly since their semi-final win over Arsenal. “They no longer rely on big names, they rely on teamwork. That change has made them stronger.

4. Arsenal out: No title for the fifth year in a row

The elimination also left Arsenal without a trophy for the fifth consecutive season. Wilshere said: “We actually played well and controlled the tempo of the game for much of the game. But they counter-attacked with a lot of quality, which is very difficult to defend against.

He added: “If you look at the teams that make it to the final, a lot of them have failed before. Failure is part of growth.

To sum up:

• Wilshere thinks Inter will win the final.
• Hargreaves, on the other hand, is more optimistic about Paris and feels it’s finally time for them to win the title.
• Inter have more experience and Paris are in better form.
• Arsenal may have lost, but they didn’t play badly either.

Regardless of the result, this final is sure to be one to look forward to!
