Inter Milan will dress for the occasion by wearing its third, golden yellow kit in Saturday’s Champions League final when it faces Paris St Germain.
Inter has played in six Champions League/European Cup finals to date, the first in 1964, and has never used its third kit in the showpiece match so far.
Since the Parisians are designated as the home team in the final, they will wear their first-choice kit – navy blue shorts and shirts with a white and red stripe in the centre – so Inter cannot play in its classic black and blue striped jerseys.
The Italians, however, did not opt for their second strip -white shirts with blue details – choosing to wear the third kit instead, a golden yellow shirt with black details and black shorts.
There may be superstition involved as Simone Inzaghi’s side won both of their games in Europe’s elite club competition when playing in yellow this term, January’s 1-0 win at Sparta Prague and a 2-0 last-16 first-leg victory at Feyenoord in March.
