After the final whistle, some Inter Milan players fell onto the Allianz Arena pitch. They were just victims of the final match with the largest score difference in the history of the C1 Cup/Champions League.
In fact, when the score was 3-0 for PSG, Inter fans who knew the fate had settled down. There are no signs for them. The 4th and 5th goals came in turn, each time as if drowning the emotions of Inter players down to the bottom.
On the other side of the front line, PSG is as happy with this historic achievement as Inter is miserable. They have reached the final for the second time in 3 years but have failed and have not scored any goals.
Not only that, perhaps Inter have lost to themselves, rather than being defeated by PSG's perfect playing style. They are the team known to have the best defense in Europe at the moment but are incredibly broken.
After losing to Napoli in round 38 of Serie A in the championship race, a bad feeling has come to Inter. They have put a lot of effort into the domestic arena but are not strong enough to keep their feet fresh enough for the entire Champions League arena. And then within just 7 days, Lautaro Martinez and his teammates lost everything.
Simone Inzaghi's Inter won but also lost a lot. Last season, they won the Scudetto for the 20th time. However, under Inzaghi, Inter have lost 2 Champions League finals in 3 years, losing 2 Scudetto in 4 years.
This is an achievement that is very difficult to sympathize with even if you are an Inter fan. There is a feeling that they can easily lose everything when just winning 1 more match is enough to get glory.
Inter is the team with the highest average age in the Champions League semi-finals (over 31). Therefore, it is difficult for this generation of players to go together for another successful period.
The defeat to PSG could open up a long streak of days without knowing what the taste of the Champions League final is, let alone the championship. Two years ago, they stopped against Man City, accumulating enough experience and courage but still not enough to defeat PSG.
PSG, after winning the championship, still has a bright future ahead with a squad of young players, but on the contrary, when looking at Inter, fans only see an uncertain future. This summer could see many partings, one of the existing examples being Al Nassr being able to buy Alessandro Bastoni.
After the match, Inzaghi said he was still proud of his players. This is true because despite a heavy defeat in the final, Nerrazzuri had a great journey, defeating both Bayern and Barca on the way to the final stage. Many players will consider this the most beautiful ending even though the glory may not always come.
Inter owner Oaktree wants Beppe Marotta to rejuvenate the squad this summer and that process is about to take place on a large scale. In the next few days, Luis Henrique (Marseille) may hold Inter's shirt as the first brick for the club's renovation process.
As for Simone Inzaghi, there have been many rumors about him leaving the team to follow the call from Saudi Arabia. Next week, the Italian strategist will have a meeting with the team's leadership to find his own direction in the coming time.
If Inzaghi leaves the chair, there will still be Cesc Fabregas ( Como) or Roberto De Zerbi (Marseille) waiting to take the hot seat at Giuseppe Meazza.
