Merit blessing? British media: Inter Milan chose the third jersey to play, but they may win because they wore the jersey in the first two times

In tonight's Champions League final, Inter Milan will participate in the third jersey. Media from various parties reported that the decision may be affected by "supercredibility" because they won the first two European matches wearing the third jersey.

In this final, Paris Saint-Germain is the official home team, and the blue and black jerseys of the two teams will cause conflict. As a result, Inter had to choose between their second (away) jersey and their third jersey, but they made an unusual decision to choose the third jersey to compete.

According to talkSPORT, the official did not give a reason for this decision, but reports from Italy have sparked speculation that the "supercreative factor" may play a role. According to the Milan Sports newspaper, the team unanimously made this unique choice to wear their bright yellow jerseys. The report added that "superstition" may be a factor as Inter won both European matches wearing the third jersey this season. By contrast, the team's only loss this season was against Leverkusen away in December when they wore a white away jersey.

A statement on Inter Milan's official website reads: "The tone that represents the club's third jersey for many years has returned strongly in the 2024/25 season. In this season's Champions League, Inter Milan wore this jersey in the away game against Sparta Prague on the 7th day of the league stage (0-1, Lautaro's goal) and our first leg of the 16th match against Feyenoord in Rotterdam (0-2, Touram and Lautaro's goal). "

Around the so-called "superstition", Inter Milan midfielder Barrera revealed: "We talked about it. At that time, there were several options on the table, and we chose the yellow jersey," he said with a smile. "That's all, it's a jersey we like, so we hope this jersey will help us in this final too."

It's worth noting that the last time they won the UEFA Cup was in 1998, when they finished the game wearing the third jersey, they beat Lazio 3-0 in Paris.
