French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain will go to the Allianz Arena to compete with Italian giants Inter Milan for the championship in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League. Barkola said in an interview that it was incredible for him to be able to participate in the final of this event and was grateful to the fans for their continued support for the team.

Thanks to Barkola's double and Ashraf's goal, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Reims 3-0 in the French Cup final earlier, successfully building momentum for the Champions League final with a Champions League trophy.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Barcola, 22, said: "It is incredible for me to have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League final. Just a few years ago, I made my debut in the Lyon first team, and now it is very special to be able to participate in the Champions League final. This is my childhood dream. Now it is about to come true. I am really happy."

"We are preparing for the game as usual and the coach has told us not to do more, but not to do less either. We need to stay calm and prepare for this game with a normal mind."

In addition, when Paris Saint-Germain played against Manchester City in the league stage of this season's Champions League, they fell behind by 2 goals and relied on goals from Dembele, Barcora, Joao Neves and Gonzalo Ramos to eventually reverse the situation and beat Guardiola's team 4-2.

Looking back on that wonderful match, Barkola shared, “For me, the turning point was the match against Manchester City. Facing such a strong opponent, we quickly equalized and overtook after falling behind 0-2. That game showed us our fighting spirit. Looking back on that moment, we feel very proud.”

“I want to thank the fans for their support since the beginning of the season. Even when we faltered or faced difficulties, they always stood by us and cheered us on. We will need their support again in this big final.”
