Champions League 2024-25

[Horatio]

Donnarumma held his own decently in finals.

But don’t forget Liverpool 1 shot 1 goal.
Today had nothing to do.

On paper, I'd say PSG was the best, then Barca, then Liverpool. Nobody else comes close. Leaving aside them being an oil state club, strictly football wise, they are a deserved winner. One of the most deserving the last decade.

UEFA need to fix that stupid rule and hand the away leg advantage to the team that finishes higher in the league phase. That's the only bad part of this CL season that was unfair.

One huge positive for Barca fans in this final: This officially beat out the AC Milan vs Barca 4-0 thrashing as the worst ucl final scoreline in modern cl history

 

[jamrock]

They have serious problems at their CB line, and partly with Donnaruma as well when pressed.

Note that Pacho and Marquinos lost all headers to Thuram and Acerbi in a game where Inter had no other way to threaten them...

Why when mines carries the most on here and yours with the two that liked your post are laughing stocks lol, that no is interested in buying.

See what I did there? Or did it go over your head 😂

Arsenal a little bit

I still don't think PSG will be CL contenders next season.

Something about the CBs doesn't seem very convincing.

The midfield and the fullbacks don't let the danger come to Marquinhos and whoever his partner is.

They're both still average at best.

 

[Temptation]

I tend to agree with that.

Inzaghi had designed a cagey bus. The strategy was totally fucked up with the early 1-0.
From that moment, they needed to change approach, which they never did

Inzaghi's biggest mistake was that he believed he could make this game a cagey affair. He should have planned a more open game.

But can't blame him because normally CL finals are cagey af.

The defense didn't seem motivated enough.

 

[Birdy]

Lol if anyone is embarrassing themselves it's ma dude.

Just complete and total dog shit you've been talking.

Instead of simply saying I was wrong

The amount of people who said PSG are favorites for this title in numbers in the 10's of thousands, because it's was pretty clear if you have sense

But here you come, oh lookes at the XG and XYZ.

And as per usual, you are fucking wrong.

But I respect you for coming back for more, waiting for that 1 in a 100 time you might finally get one right.

I agree with you on some things, but generally you're a joke that as no clue what he's talking about

I got all Ws this season on every department, either teams or players.

I did not say Inter will win this, I said it will be tight.
I got it wrong as 99% of analyst and bookmakers, who did not foresee this.

Who foresaw Inter will collapse? No one.
I won't take seriously misguided views of trolls that can't read football properly and predict like 15-yr olds based on whims.
So you won't get any credit

 

[jamrock]

Inzahgi made no mistake, if he played it aggressively he would still have lost.

PSG are simply better

You forgot you are talking about PSG?

Unlimited funds. If there is something wrong with CBs, they can just get the best out there for ridiculous money and wages and they're set to go.

With so much money and such a good coach, so many unbelievable players that are pretty young... this PSG project can get scary.

I reckon they will be a serious force in Europe for the next few years

Remember it took City some time to click too then they were in semi finals every year and always contenders. And PSG is in a comedy league, they get it done in March and then go full force on the CL.

Inzaghi was wrong obviously. He could have seen what happened to Pool 1st leg who decided to sit back and got outplayed. In the 2nd leg at Anfield they were better when they decided to press

Same with Arsenal and villa: the moments or games they pressed, they caused PSG problems

But this can't be explained by tactics alone, as a proper Inter would never lose that badly.
This was like watching PSG - Queens Park Rangers final

 

[Temptation]

I was surprised at the total lack of dark arts and tactical fouling by Inter.

If you're trying to shithouse the game do it properly.

There was no playacting or provoking the opponents. No plan to win the second balls.

Atleast stink up the place and break the flow of the game!

FWIW, smash and grab is normally a good idea in CL finals. But they didn't perform the dark arts today. The team looked knackered and indifferent to the occasion. Just a really strange performance.

 

[KingLeo10]

The 4-3-3 just flat out owning the 3-5-2 is also a big reason.

Everyone on PSG was passing like Xavi simply because of the holes/spaces left by 3-5-2 against 4-3-3 Lots of times I saw the PSG midfield and even their backs play uncontested 15-20 m passes deep into Inter territory just because of the space mismatch.

 

[serghei]

Inzahgi made no mistake, if he played it aggressively he would still have lost.

PSG are simply better

His problem was not dominating Serie A with the best team. That's a bad look on his time at Inter so far. In CL he did very well and vastly overachieved. But titles wise, losing Serie A twice in 3 years to Napoli is really bad.

 

[Porque]

I tend to agree with that.

That counter off of the guy trying to play for a corner was an embarrassment to all Sunday league weekend warriors.
