Chelsea 20/21 outplayed RM and City lmao.

Only true shithouse win is Chelsea 2012. Once in a lifetime. But the pattern is clear otherwise.

That’s why I said almost impossible.

Cause starting from 3-0 you need to enter realm of crazy upsets as a prediction.

So yeah, not impossible. But no one gonna give 3 goal differences as a prediction for final.

I know I was being playful lol

 

[DonAK]

I'm going to say it again.

While the defensive structure first of all need improvement and the players also need to perform better, I am not very optimistic with our chances if we have to rely on Ferran despite his good season and an even older Lewandowski.

It's hard to see a 5-0 in a CL final coming. Don't think it ever happened. But Inter played with fire too many times before. And this time it didn't work as PSG were not letting this one slip for a second. Unlike Barca did several times.

Inter is like a watered down Simeone Atletico from 2014 and 2016, except that side was far superior in defense. Far superior, not even close.

Recall the 2011 Barca-UTD final to see the difference.
That's a clear example of a final with a clear favorite, that did not end up in a 5-0, but could have easily, and had that happened, no one could say 'I did not see it'

 

[KingLeo10]

So Mou's Inter, Tuchel's Chelsea, and the many times Madrid played like that under both Zidan and Ancelotti, never existed according to this logic.

That's at least 6 finals since 2010

RM got referee help, with offsides in the no VAR era.

But they MO isn't bunker up in away games and focus on the home game. It's to be shit and still win from crossing, referees, and opposition shitting their pants.

Atletico and Juve didn't lose those matches because they played anti football. They lost because the other team had Cristiano Ronaldo.

Great against juve but poor in both finals against atletico he was

Still a 5 at the back team with similar tactics, principles and gameplay to that of Inter.

Madrid are easy to dominate but tough to get results against. Kante absolutely annihilating KCM singlehandedly in both the legs certainly helped.

 

[KingLeo10]

Mou's inter only really shithoused us. Versus Bayern they were dominant and better team.

Well, it's different, because PSG play in Ligue 1. You don't exactly know what you're getting with PSG. Even in CL, they had that massive scare vs Aston Villa.

But tonight they were lethal. Gave Inter no chance at all.

Barcelona at that time were already CL winner with the same core in 2009, and had a proven record of smashing the elite teams. Including a better version of United in that epic 2009 final.

Of course RM got help.
But I am talking how they played: anti-football and parking bus to win on counters and individual moments:
happened at least in 2018 all the way to the final, 2022 all the way to the final, 2024 all the way to the final

Tbf Real in the final never played shithousery. They dominated and deservedly won all of those finals.

Granted, maybe Ramos shouldve been sent off for deliberately injuring Salah

Aston Villa played as they could.
Inter did not. Shadow of themselves in every department and metric.

PSG was not more lethal or different than the Liverpool Villa Arenal games.
Instead, they were asked to do much less

You are trying to draw a conclusion that is not there...

 

[Temptation]

RM played some nice football but they were primarily a counter attacking team in the CL. It's not terrible football but pretty average for the most part.

Inter's Inzaghi has played nice football many times before.

You don't need to be a total football machine to win the CL.

They did not dominate most finals
The only final I could say they dominated, was vs Juventus in 2017

Inter played a crap game, I agree. I'm only saying they did that before. They lost 0-3 vs Milan at home not long ago ffs. That's why they are trophyless now.
