Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on the verge of making football history. The Armenian midfielder will join an exclusive group of players to have collected finals wins in all three of UEFA's present men's club competitions if Inter Milan defeats Paris Saint-Germain in the
UEFA Champions League Final in Munich on 31 May 2025. It would complete an extraordinary European adventure for Mkhitaryan, who has claimed silverware with both Manchester United and AS Roma.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan's European journey from Manchester to Munich
Henrikh Mkhitaryan's European form flourished in the 2016–17 campaign when he scored in Manchester United's 2-0 win against Ajax. It was the UEFA Europa League final when Manchester United claimed their first-ever Europa League title. He had previously won another UEFA competition, the UEFA Europa Conference League, with Roma in 2022 as well. In that match, Roma defeated Feyenoord with the scoreline of 1-0 in the final held in the competition's first-ever season.
In 2023, Mkhitaryan also reached the UEFA Champions League Final with Inter Milan, becoming the first Armenian to have done so. And while Inter would lose 1-0 to Manchester City, Mkhitaryan’s appearance represented a landmark for Armenian football. And now that Inter are due to contest the 2025 final with PSG, Mkhitaryan is on the brink of becoming one of the select few to win three titles in Europe’s leading club tournament.
A historic opportunity in Munich for Mkhitaryan
If Inter Milan are victorious in the showdown, Mkhitaryan would be the first to have won finals in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Europa Conference League. It would be an unprecedented achievement for him in the history of European football, a measure of his ability to change and continue hitting the heights over different leagues and competitions.
Inter Miami reached the final with a thrilling semi-final win over Barcelona, which went to penalties after a 3-3 aggregate draw. Mkhitaryan was crucial in the middle of the field, showing leadership and tenacity. As the finale nears, there will be much clamoring to see if he can make this history-breaking achievement.
