There are 3 reasons for the 5-goal defeat in the Champions League final, Barcelona indirectly assists Enrique, Inter Milan has a fatal illusion

The Champions League final between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain set the record for the biggest score difference in the Champions League final.

has always been an unknown game in the finals. With the changes in rules and open play, there have been more and more large scores in the finals in the past decade.

However, Inter Milan's 5-goal defeat was still somewhat unexpected. Looking back at the Champions League process between the two sides, the reasons for Inter Milan's crushing defeat are as follows: The third point is the most important -

1. Insufficient strength, they can only defend and counterattack

Inter Milan has a slightly insufficient strength and dominance show this season. In the domestic league, cup and Super Cup, they lost to the same city rival AC Milan three times, and everyone has seen the strength of this team. Inter Milan has lost to them three times this season. It can only be said that they are not strong enough or the overall lineup is not thick enough.

For Inter Milan's strength, adopting a defensive counterattack tactic and interpreting the tactic of buses to the extreme is their only feasible way to win. Mourinho had already interpreted this 15 years ago. But whether it is the 2023 final or the semi-finals and finals of this season, Inter Milan wants to make profits through offensive measures. However, the final result shows that Inter Milan is still a little lacking in the highest level and top competition in Europe.

Juventus used to have 2 wins and 7 losses in the Champions League final. Some people think that their domestic games rely on referees, and the European game is slightly weaker. Inter Milan definitely does not have this situation now. It can only be said that the overall level of Serie A is indeed a little lacking, and Italian football has a long way to go.

2. Fighting on multiple lines, there are more veterans and extremely fatigued

Inter Milan fights on multiple lines this season, especially in the league and Naples won the championship until the last round, which consumes a lot of money.

In this Champions League team lineup, Inter Milan is the oldest, with an average age of 30.3 years old, while Paris Saint-Germain is the second youngest with 24.9 years old.

Inter Milan have veterans such as 35-year-old Mkhitaryan and 37-year-old Archerby, while the young players Douai and Neves in the Paris Saint-German team are only 20 years old, but they can already take the lead. Not to mention Mendes, the 22-year-old, and the joining of K77 has completely transformed Paris Saint-German, and he is only 24 years old.

The oldest lineup in the Champions League faced the second youngest Paris Youth Storm and was hit hard. After a season, they were really too tired.

The collapse in the second half was related to Inter Milan's physical and mental exhaustion.

Inter Milan had only 41% of the ball possession rate in this game, with only 8 shots, including 2 shots;

In contrast, Paris Saint-Germain has a ball possession rate of nearly 60%, with as many as 23 shots, including 8 shots, scoring 5 goals.

Compared with Inter Milan's fatigue in fighting on multiple fronts, Paris Saint-Germain has much less pressure in domestic games. The league has confirmed the championship early. Players are generally younger and recover faster. They can send substitutes to deal with various fronts and attack with all their strength. They have never won the championship. In fact, many people have expected the final result. Before the game, Kaka clearly expressed optimism about Paris Saint-Germain.

3. I thought I was using the method of dealing with Barcelona to deal with Paris Saint-Germain, but I didn’t expect that Paris’s defense line was not a shoddy project.

But when the game was only 20 minutes, Inter Milan lost 2 goals, and then changed sides in the second half, Paris Saint-Germain scored another 3 goals, completely defeating the Nerazzurri.

This time Barcelona was caught in the shooting. They may have indirectly helped Enrique and confused Inter Milan.

In the semi-final match against Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan scored first in both rounds, which made them miscalculate their strength and believed that taking the initiative would be the best way.

Barcelona's tofu defense line also confused them. Paris Saint-Germain's defense has been tested by many Premier League giants, and their main goalkeeper is still Italian national goalkeeper. It is not easy to break the city of Paris Saint-Germain easily.

In fact, whether in the Champions League semi-finals or finals, Inter Milan is a team that is at a disadvantage in the field. It is a certain part of luck to eliminate Barcelona. Barcelona's main center is absent and unstable defense is an important factor.

Paris Grande is already a completely different team after entering 2025, and other teams have not yet studied them thoroughly.
