Early Encounters (2014–2024)

The friendly record includes a PSG win in 2014, an Inter win in 2015, and another PSG win in 2023, but full match details are not widely documented.
The sparse pre‑2025 record means the rivalry effectively began on the biggest stage possible — a Champions League final.
