Jay Shah meets UEFA president ahead of PSG vs Inter Milan 2024-25 Champions League final

ICC president Jay Shah took an impressive step to take cricket to more countries. The International Cricket Council has their own global initiatives to expand cricket bases in more countries.

Over the years, cricket emerged as one of the most popular and cash-rich sports across the world but has yet to make an effective step on European soil. With the target to achieve this target, Jay Shah visited Munich to meet with UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin ahead of the UEFA Champions League final between Inter Milan and PSG. Shah took to his official social media handle to inform about his visit to Munich and conversation with the UEFA president.

"Honored to represent cricket in Munich ahead of the Champions League Final and have discussions with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. It's always valuable to spend time with other sporting leaders as the ICC expands our sport's global reach," Jay Shah said this on social media.

An unexpected collaboration before the final

The final match between Milan and PSG will be held at the Allianz Arena. As per the recent results and on-field performances, both teams have almost the same chances and potential to claim the prestigious title of club football. But according to stats and expert opinions, the team from Paris has slightly better chances to hoist the trophy over Milan.

But the PSG defense may have to show more discretion, as the opponent team has a striker like Lautaro Martinez, who has already netted 9 goals. On the other hand, Moroccan side back Achraf Hakimi so far has been experiencing a dream run in this tournament with 5 assists.
