Inter Milan is a worthy opponent, though, as the Italian side has only lost one game in the lead-up to the final.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the best Champions League final prop picks featuring Ousmane Dembele and Lautaro Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Champions League picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Dembele to score (+180)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French winger spearheads PSG&#8217;s offence. He leads the pack in many offensive categories for this competition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1st in goals (8)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st in shot attempts (39)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st in shots on target (22)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dembele has appeared in 14 UCL matches and has 12 goals\/assists. That includes getting on the score sheet in five straight games dating back to the second leg of the quarterfinal vs. Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A reason for the price is that Inter Milan has a strong defence, conceding just 0.8 goals per match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Arsenal is even better on that end, allowing 0.7 goals per match, and Dembele scored a goal in the first leg of the semifinal against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Ligue 1, the attacker tied for the lead with 21  goals in 29 games. He&#8217;s dominant regardless of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Dembele has 29 goals across all competitions this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"insights\"><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/soccer\/competitions\">Champions League betting markets<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Martinez over 2.5 shots (+105):<\/strong> I went with Martinez to score (+210) in my best bets piece, but I&#8217;ll tone it down here and back his shots prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Argentine striker has consistently been Inter&#8217;s most active attacker in its pursuit of a Serie A and Champions League title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Since Dec. 13, Martinez is 19-7 against this line while averaging 3.4 shots per match. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He also leads Inter in the Champions League with 20 shots (18 on target). The next closest player is Marcus Thuram with 15.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Martinez was rather quiet in the semifinal, registering just one shot in two games against Barcelona, but he cleared this mark in four of the five UCL matches before that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The striker was in the middle of a gruesome part of Inter&#8217;s schedule during the last round and only played 116 of 210 possible minutes over the entirety of the semifinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a major reason for his lack of production in those matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martinez hasn&#8217;t played since that second leg against Barcelona and should be fully fit to take on a 90-plus minute workload in the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>Champions League picks made at 3:55 p.m. on 05\/29\/2025.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It all comes down to this &#8230; one match to decide the winner of the 2025 Champions League.
