Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi made no secret of his admiration for Paris Saint-Germain’s performance after the meeting between the two clubs and Paris’ 5-0 victory in the Champions League final (video highlights PSG/Inter Milan). At the press conference, he underlined the physical and mental superiority of PSG, who literally smothered Inter in this European clash.
Acerbi “They were going twice as fast as us”.
“They were going twice as fast as us. These games can leave you bitter, but in reality, you walk off the pitch and ask yourself “what could we have done?”. You’re disappointed, but not excessively so. They were unplayable, even if we gave it our all. We were blocked mentally and physically”.
Francesco Acerbi’s analysis of Inter’s defeat by Paris Saint-Germain highlights the difference in standards on the pitch. In his opinion, the Parisians imposed a pace and intensity that were difficult to sustain, leaving little hope for their opponents on the night.
This feeling of powerlessness, shared by an Inter executive, reveals the transformation of PSG under the current era: a team capable not only of dominating technically, but also of physically and mentally surpassing its European rivals.
This impression of unplayability, evoked by Acerbi, testifies to the milestone reached by the Parisian club, which is no longer content to shine intermittently, but now imposes its law at major tournaments.
