Imagine to lose 2 LC finals in three years  Roll Eyes
Inter is currently balancing on the edge between a good season and a terrible season. If they win the Champions League, it will be Italy's first title since Mourinho, but if they lose, it will be a titleless season. Plus there is another point that if they lose to PSG on the 30th, it will not be perceived as “losing to the clear favorite”, but will be perceived as missing a clear opportunity to win the coveted title. All this must be putting pressure on the Inter players now.

I agree with most of the things you said as I have written my post, but there is one thing I disagree with.

PSG has convinced the world of football that this team is worthy of the title and they have probably played the best CL season out of all teams. At least they were as good as Inter Milan.

PSG had an uptrend curve throughout the season while it is a bit of the opposite for Inter Milan. I think it was never seen before that PSG strikes back like they did against Manchester City in the second game after conceding those two goals right after halftime. That was as brilliant as it could be. Manchester City didn't know what's happening and everyone who watched the game didn't know either. From there on they have played perfect football except for maybe the second game against Aston Villa, but part of the truth about this game is that Aston Villa developed into a powerhouse in their own stadium.

It was thought by many people for quite some time that this final won't take place without Liverpool. Be honest, when they lost the first game at home 0-1, what did you think were the chance to make it to the next round against Liverpool? I admit I thought there is no chance.

If PSG had been lucky all the time, I would understand you. Under these circumstances I think the football world is 50-50 about this game and it is not like a must win game for Inter. They should win it to save the season, but PSG this season is frightening for every opponent.
