Today on Libero Jack Pitt-Brooke, Rory Smith and James Horncastle look forward to Saturday’s Champions League final between Paris Saint Germain and Inter Milan.

First up is the question of what actually makes for a good Champions League final, whether we ever get what we really want from these games, and whether there being no English team, Real Madrid or Barcelona makes this final a tough sell to English viewers. Does this make us - to borrow a phrase from the internet - ‘Premfaces’?

(25:26) Then James explains Simone Inzaghi’s remarkable tenure at Inter since he replaced Antonio Conte in 2021. Is he one of the best managers in the world right now? And then to Luis Enrique, a brilliant manager with a touching personal story, who has coached some of the most exciting teams in Europe over the last 10 years. Could this be the game that turns him into one of the greats?
