The countdown to kick off is underway in the Champions League Final between PSG and Inter Milan. But who do experts, ex-players, pundits and celebrities think will win?There's no clear consensus.

Speaking on his Rest is Football podcast the former England striker Gary Lineker picked PSG to prevail 2-0, saying "it's their turn".

He's backed up by none other than Oscar-winner Natalie Portman whose whole family are big PSG fans. PSG has got it. The team is better than ever!”

Even Italian football expert Mina Rzouki backs the French team: "I'm going with PSG – because Luis Enrique is a man who really knows how to win games like these."

Split Decision

Not everyone agrees. Here's former Inter midfielder Donald Mariga predicting a 2-1 win for his former club.

Another former Inter and Manchester United player, Paul Ince, agreed. "I am backing Inter Milan. Inter are going to win 2-1,” said Ince.

Ballon D'Or winner Ruud Gullit is another tipping the Italians.

"I think Inter will win the final because they have much more experience. They can, if they have to, defend very well. If Inter get one goal up, it's difficult to get through"

Even the "soccer experts" at Sportline are completely split with Martin Green predicting a 2-1 for PSG; Bruce Marshall predicting and Inter win by the same score; and Jon Elmer & Brandt Summer both plumping for 1-1 and predicting a different winner in the penalty shoot out.

Time will tell very soon who is right.
