PSG or Inter? Tennis legend Novak Djokovic picks a side in UEFA Champions League Final—and shocks Italian fans (VIDEO)

While debates rage on over who deserves the crown, a surprise voice joined the chorus in Paris—tennis icon Novak Djokovic. And his answer? It left many in Italy stunned.

The stage is set for one of soccer’s greatest showdowns. On Saturday, May 31, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain will meet under the floodlights of the Allianz Arena in Munich, each club chasing their elusive dream: the UEFA Champions League title. While debates rage on over who deserves the crown, a surprise voice joined the chorus in Paris—tennis icon Novak Djokovic. And his answer? It left many in Italy stunned.

This isn’t just another European final. For both sides, a long and emotional journey has led to this point. Inter, under Simone Inzaghi, powered through the early group stages with confidence, finishing fourth overall with 19 points—level with Barcelona and Arsenal, and just two behind Liverpool. In the knockouts, they overcame a fearsome lineup: Feyenoord, Bayern Munich, and then Barcelona once more, proving their mettle against some of the continent’s best.

On the other hand, PSG’s path has been anything but straightforward. After finishing 15th in the group stage rankings with 13 points, they were forced into the play-offs. Led by Luis Enrique, the Parisians regrouped and advanced past Brest, before stunning Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal to book their spot in Munich.

This final, then, is not just about trophies—it’s about redemption. PSG are still chasing the Champions League crown that has eluded them since Qatari ownership took over in 2011. Despite fielding superstars like Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Lionel Messi in recent years, the title remained out of reach. Now, with none of those big names, Enrique’s men are one step away from history.

Inter, meanwhile, have built a legacy at home, winning everything Italy has to offer. But the European crown has been missing since Jose Mourinho’s treble-winning run in 2010. Having reached two finals in three years, this might be the last chance for this golden generation of Nerazzurri stars.

Champion speaks—and Italian fans react

While fans and pundits continue to weigh in with their predictions, a voice from the world of tennis stirred the pot in Paris. Novak Djokovic, currently competing at the French Open, was out greeting fans near the Stade Jean-Bouin when someone asked a simple question: “PSG or Inter?”

The Serbian superstar smiled, thanked his admirers for their support, and gave a reply that quickly echoed across social media. “PSG, because I’m a fan of AC Milan.”

The answer may seem harmless to many, but for Italian supporters—particularly those backing Inter—it was a blow. Djokovic, after all, has never hidden his affection for the Rossoneri, Inter’s bitter city rivals. So his choice was less about PSG love and more about Milan loyalty.

As French newspaper outlets reported, the revelation came as Djokovic was relaxing before his second-round match against France’s Corentin Moutet. He had already breezed through his first-round clash against McDonald (6-3, 6-3, 6-3), yet still made time for fans and soccer.
