Champions League final in Munich: Matchday guide to the Allianz Arena

On Saturday, 31 May, the 2025 Champions League final will take place at the Allianz Arena in Munich. After a gruelling campaign, it will be Inter Milan and PSG who go head-to-head for the biggest prize in club football at the end of the month, and they will do it in one of the finest footballing cities in Europe.

It will be the fifth time that Munich has hosted the showpiece event, with the Olympiastadion hosting the 1979, 1993 and 1997 finals and the Allianz Arena hosting the 2012 event when Chelsea famously stunned Bayern Munich in their own stadium.

For anyone attending the Champions League final, including Inter Milan and PSG fans, our guide below has everything you need to know about a matchday in Munich.

How many fans are going to the Champions League final?

Inter Milan and PSG have both been allocated 18,000 tickets each for the Champions League final, which is less than half of the overall capacity of 70,000 at the Allianz Arena.

The remaining tickets will be split between ‘neutral' supporters, following an open ballot run by UEFA. Applications for this ballot were accepted until 11 April, and the results have now been communicated to all successful supporters.

There will, of course, also be Champions League final tickets set aside for corporate hospitality and sponsors.

Where will Inter Milan and PSG fans sit at the Champions League final?

Both sets of supporters will be allocated one side of the Allianz Arena each. With ticket sales set to start in the coming days, greater clarity on which end of the stadium has been allocated to which club should come to light.

Both sets of supporters will be separated not only by lines of security but also by the neutral and hospitality zones, which are in the middle of the stadium.

Where to eat & drink for football fans in Munich

Inter Milan and PSG fans can look forward to a brilliant day or two in Munich in the build-up to kick-off, as there are pubs, bars, beerhouses and restaurants around almost every corner in the city.

Munich is a city that is used to hosting big football matches, and there are a couple of bars which are particularly popular with football fans. They include:

  • Kilians Irish Pub – Frauenplatz 11, 80331 Munchen, Germany
  • Le Clou – Heiliggeiststrabe 1, 80331 Munchen, Germany
  • Kennedy's – Sendlinger-Tor-Platz 11, 80336 Munchen, Germany
  • Ned Kelly’s Australian Bar – Frauenplatz 11, 80331 Munchen, Germany

For any fans who are after a more traditional Bavarian afternoon of drinking, then the aforementioned beerhalls should be your first port of call. Three of the best traditional German beerhalls in Munich are:

  • Hofbrauhaus – Platzl 9, 80331 München, Germany
  • Augustiner Keller – Arnulfstrase 52, 80335 München, Germany
  • Lowenbraukeller – Stiglmaierplatz, Nymphenburger Str. 2, 80335 Munchen, Germany

How to get to the Allianz Stadium

One slight downside to the Allianz Stadium is that it isn't based in the centre of Munich. Instead, fans must venture 10km to the outskirts of the city centre to get to the stadium. Fortunately, Munich is very well connected by public transport, and the route to the Allianz Arena is simple enough.

The easiest way to get to the Allianz Arena from the centre of Munich is to go to Marienplatz and jump on the U6 underground to Frottmanning. Leave the underground at Frottmanning and then take a 15-minute walk to the stadium. Your best bet is to simply follow the crowd.
