The 2025 UEFA Champions League final was the last game of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League. It was the 70th final, and the 33rd since the tournament's name changed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. This is the top football competition in Europe for club teams, run by UEFA.

The match was played on 31 May 2025 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The two teams playing were Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) of France, and Internazionale Milan of Italy. PSG won 5–0, a record final margin.[2]

It was the first Champions League final since 2004 that did not include a team from England, Spain, or Germany. It was also the first final played using the new Swiss system format.[3]

PSG will play against Tottenham Hotspur, who won the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup. They have also qualified for the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup.

The "home" team (for administrative purposes) was predetermined as the winner of semi-final 1 (Paris Saint-Germain).[4][5]
