Before Inter Milan, there was only one example of Serie A and Ligue 1 meeting in the Champions League final.

When Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain met in the Champions League final, who was slapped in the face? Some people say it is La Liga and Premier League. This season, La Liga and Premier League have high European points, ranking in the top two, so they will get 5 UEFA Champions League places next season, but this season, they are blocked outside the finals by Serie A and Ligue 1. So, glory is next season, and this season it’s not your turn.

Some people say it is the Bundesliga. After all, the Champions League semi-finals are each dominated by Serie A, Ligue 1, La Liga and Premier League, and nothing is wrong with the Bundesliga. What's even more embarrassing is that the Champions League final was held at Bayern's home court Allianz, co-organized with Bayern, the host, who was only responsible for organizing the dinner party, but did not come to the banquet.

However, I think the real slap in the face is those who never look down on Serie A and Ligue 1.

It is easy to understand that looking down on Ligue 1, especially in Paris Grande. Many people think that they are nouveau riche, aren’t they just rich? Those who look down on Serie A always think that the glorious era of Serie A has passed. Inter Milan and Juventus are now standing in front of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Manchester City, Liverpool, and are ashamed of themselves.

Therefore, this time the Serie A and Ligue 1 meeting in the Champions League final not only made themselves clear, but also made the fans who looked down on themselves feel lost.

Let's talk about the finals of the Champions League from the perspective of the league. There must be a reason for looking down on Ligue 1 fans - there have been La Liga derby, Serie A derby, Premier League derby, and Bundesliga derby in the Champions League final, but there have been no Ligue 1 derby. Historically, Ligue 1 teams have reached the Champions League finals for a limited number of times, so how about the derby?

The Serie A derby only appeared once in the Champions League final, that is, the showdown between Milan and Juventus from 2002 to 2003. This kind of final derby in the league will only be possible after the restructuring. It can be seen that since the 21st century, Serie A has indeed been less glorious than La Liga Premier League, and can compete with the Bundesliga. After all, the Bundesliga has only appeared once. In the 12th to 13th season, Bayern vs. Dortmund.

And the Premier League has appeared three times, Manchester United vs. Chelsea, Liverpool vs. Tottenham, and Manchester City vs. Chelsea. La Liga has also appeared three times, Real Madrid vs. Valencia and Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid (two times).

And there are even more Champions League final showdowns between the five major leagues. Not listed one by one. Since Serie A is declining and Ligue 1 has a low presence in the history of the Champions League, the matchup between Serie A and Ligue 1 is very rare in the Champions League final. Before Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, there were only one example of Serie A and Ligue 1 meeting in the Champions League final.

92 to 93 seasons, AC Milan vs. Marseille.

That was also the final of the first year of the Champions League reform. At the same time, the Marseille champion is also the only Champions League champion in Ligue 1 so far. Many people talk about Marseille that season, they will fall into a misunderstanding of a parallel universe. At that time, Marseille was indeed deprived of the Ligue 1 championship because of its uncleanness. But the Champions League championship has never been cancelled.

Milan was in its heyday, so it was not easy for Marseille to win this championship.

Coincidentally, in this final, Serie A's representative came from Milan, but Inter Milan. As time goes by, the leader of Ligue 1 is no longer Marseille, but Paris Saint-Germain. I don’t know what kind of scene will be played between Serie A and Ligue 1 in the Champions League final for the second time. It is worth mentioning that Ligue 1 could not compare with Serie A during the World Cup. Now, although Serie A is stronger than Ligue 1, it seems that the advantage is not much. In terms of strength and lineup, the two teams are indeed infinitely close. This will be a very interesting contest.
