Pavard reassurance for Inter: ‘I am at 100 per cent’ for Champions League Final | OneFootball

Benjamin Pavard assures he is ‘ready and at 100 per cent’ to start for Inter in the Champions League Final against Paris Saint-Germain. ‘We will have the opportunities to score.’

It kicks off in Munich at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT, 21.00 CET).

This is the second Champions League Final in just three years for the Nerazzurri, who were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City in a tight game in Istanbul in 2023.

Pavard was the only Inter doubt

There was only one major doubt going into this game for Simone Inzaghi, and that was between Pavard and Yann Bisseck, but it was based entirely on fitness levels.

So seeing as he was sent out first to speak to the media after the team bus arrived in Munich, is he fully fit?

“I am ready, I’m ready, I’ve been working with the squad for a while. It took a little time to get to 100 per cent, but I’m there now,” Pavard told Sky Sport Italia.

The France international will be facing many of his teammates in Les Bleus this evening, who dominated the Ligue 1 campaign and are on track for a potential Treble.

“Paris are a great team, they showed that throughout the season in the Champions League and Ligue 1, but we are a great team too. If we are defensively solid, then we will have the opportunities to score.”

Pavard is back in the Allianz Arena, although for sponsorship reasons this evening it is called the Munich Football Arena, where he had such success with Bayern Munich before coming to Inter.

“Of course there are many emotions for me playing here with the Inter jersey, in a stadium where I won so many trophies. Now I hope to win another and bring it back to Milan,” concluded Pavard.
