This Saturday, as part of the 2024-2025 Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain faced Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena. Simone Inzaghi, the Italian team’s voach, stopped by the press conference after the 5-0 Parisian victory (video highlights PSG/Inter Milan). He spoke of a clear defeat, with a few explanations.
“How does it feel?
“It’s a great disappointment. PSG deserved to win and we’re very disappointed. We had a great campaign, and I’m proud of that, even if we didn’t play well on Saturday night. Their pressing was impressive. We didn’t play our best soccer, but I congratulated the boys. We haven’t won any trophies this season. That’s just the way it is.
How do you explain the gap?
We know it’s painful tonight and we know that defeats can make us stronger. Maybe we were more tired, not precise enough, they always arrived before us. We were playing for the title right up to the last day, but PSG have been champions for weeks. PSG were stronger in this tug-of-war. We deserve to lose”, comments relayed by Le Figaro.
Difficile pour Inzaghi de contester la supériorité du PSG sur ce match tant l’écart a été immense. L’explication n’est pas simple, même si les qualités parisiennes sont à mettre en avant. L’Inter s’est aussi loupé, ce qui est forcément embêtant pour l’entraîneur. Lequel peut bien sûr souligner l’écart de fraîcheur physique. Car cela joue.
Cependant, cela fait aussi partie de la gestion du groupe et de la saison. Le coach Luis Enrique et son staff ont été particulièrement forts sur cet aspect. La supériorité en Ligue 1 aide aussi, mais elle a été acquise par le jeu. C’est une immense saison pour avoir à cette finale.
