Inter players have a superstition about the Champions League final: Here's
Inter players in yellow jerseys

PSG-Inter is the final of the 2024/2025 Champions League. An extraordinary opportunity for the neroli to win a trophy this season, after losing the Italian Super Cup, the Italian Cup and the championship.

Coach Simone Inzaghi's team is vibrant, united and ready to lift this cup. To do so, they even rely on superstition.

And this is precisely the occasion to say it, as in the match scheduled for Saturday, May 31st at 9:00 PM at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Lautaro Martinez and his teammates have decided to take to the field in an unusual jersey.

Not with the classic black and blue striped jersey, as the French will be playing "at home" and will wear the first jersey, blue with a white and red stripe in the middle, and not with the second white jersey, but with the third yellow jersey.

A jersey with black details for Inter, inspired by the design and architecture of Milan. They have chosen yellow

It was the players themselves who chose yellow, whether for aesthetic reasons or for superstitious reasons. The statistics related to the positive results achieved playing in the yellow jersey, in fact, pushed the team to make this decision.

Just a negative precedent

Inter's only defeat in the Champions League this season came with the white jersey, in the match played at BayArena in Leverkusen on December 10 against the former team led by Xabi Alonso. With the yellow jersey, on the contrary, two victories in two matches: on January 22 in Prague against Sparta and on March 5 in Rotterdam, in the first leg of the 1/8 against Feyenoord with a score of 2-0. In addition to these two matches won with the yellow jersey, there are five more in the championship, which have convinced the team to continue this winning tradition.

Yann Sommer, between the posts, will wear the orange jersey as usual. A color that, staying on the theme of superstition, the Swiss wore when he made an extraordinary save in the 4-3 victory over Barcelona, ​​opening the doors of the final for Inter. Simone Inzaghi therefore relies on the goals of Lautaro and Thuram, on the inventions of Calhanoglu and the sprints of Dumfries, but in this case also on the superstition that, in important matches like this one that are worth an entire season, can be of essential importance.
