Van Dijk: Paris is not a favorite in the Champions League, Inter Milan has more experience in the Champions League final than Paris

May 26 Liverpool captain Van Dijk believes that Paris Saint-Germain is not a popular team in the Champions League final. In an interview with French media "League", he said that he knew Inter Milan and believed that they would bring strong challenges to Paris.

Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will compete for the Champions League title in a week. Inter Milan performed well in the knockout stage, defeating Feyenoord, Bayern Munich and Barcelona one after another and successfully advanced to the final. Paris defeated Premier League teams Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal one after another. There is no doubt that Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are the two teams with the best performance in the Champions League this season. Inter Milan also achieved impressive victory in the group stage, including against Arsenal and Leipzig. By contrast, Paris was underperformed early in the group stage but rebounded strongly in the final few games.

When asked if he thought Paris was a favorite to win the championship, 33-year-old Van Dijk replied: "I don't think so, I've played with Paris recently and they impressed me. But when it comes to Inter Milan, I have played against them, and I know two of my compatriots Dumfries and De Vry. Maybe Inter Milan is more experienced than Paris because they have recently participated in a Champions League final."
