PSG - Inter (31 May 25)

They say when the final is in Munich, the team that wins has never won it before . They also say whoever beats Bayern wins it.

In the past 17 years, either Real or Barca or the team that knocks them out has won it

They also said that winners are always changing in the modern era. But then Madrid won three titles in a row, so things like this could happen at any time.

It would be better to wait for a more reliable source, such as the Octopus, Parrott or whatever animal they decide to use.

My fucking heart can't take this. Not sure I will survive the final.

This game is going to be like when a 50 something year old dad plays his teenage son in a game of 1 on 1 basketball and suddenly finds the strength to whip his ass. Of course those dads are also known to gas out quickly and need painkillers immediately afterwards..

By and large this season, we’ve started games much much better than we finish them. Maybe it’s reflective of our average squad age and the inevitable consequences of it being what it is, not sure. But I also see this game being like that. I really don’t want to see extra time and I really really don’t want to do a penalty shootout against Donnarumma with our dogshit penalty takers.. So we best take this before the 90minutes are up.

This is an interesting clash of young talent vs vets. PSG seems like a more balanced version of Barca to me and it will be no easy feat.

I can't handle losing to this money laundering FFP breaching Qatari club from cesspool Paris.

Barca I thought was a very difficult draw for us, I was not sure we would be able to slow their scoring enough to knock them out and both games frankly terrified me. PSG will be tough but I am relieved to be past Barca and I think this matchup is much more winnable than our last final.

For some weird reason I’m nervous about Donarumma. I just have a feeling he might be extra pumped against us. He made some exceptional saves against Arsenal. Dembele, Doue and Kvara will be scary but we can do it.

We are disrespected and underestimated too often. Winning this UCL will be a big middle finger to all our doubters and will force people to respect us.

Me too. Donarumma is abnormal this season. Acerbi should go more often upfront, Donarumma has no chance then.

 

[SiamoNoi]

The fact that he's scored at the Allianz before and the dagger to knock out Barcelona gives me such strong "Frattesi winner" vibes that I know for a fact he'll drop an almighty stinker if he sees the pitch.

Didn't even think about this but for sure fact that we played recently on this stadium and had positive memories has to be slight advantage.

Same. It will be really hard to score against him. And penalties...forget it.

PSG main strength relies on:
- Control of the midfield (Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery)
- Pace at the back (their defenders aren't the best but damn they can all run fast)
- Kvaratschelia factor
- Liberty up front for their pacey forwards who like to take on their defender.

It's pretty similar to Barcelona as a concept, without the very high line but it's still quite high, but these guys will prefer to control the game deeper so that their attackers will have more room to attack the space.
And unlike Barcelona, they don't tend to swarm the middle and suffocate you, not in the same way. So ideally you hit them from the center or if you manage to get behind the full backs, that's perfect.

They don't want to camp outside your box, they cannot work well with crosses and they cannot decode your defense with a highly technical passing game.

So key is to let them hold the ball close to your box and hit them when their full backs try to get involved up front.

Unlike our last route to the final, this time we have won one after another game against tougher opponents (Bayern & Barcelona).

PSG seems to be a very balanced side but I hope that we play our best game and somehow win it by hook or crook. For once, lets win a major final game.

I've just realised I'll be in Paris on Wednesday to Friday before this match.

I'll make sure to pack my Inter top.

I like how everyone is suddenly on the 'last time was easier' bandwagon now

Do we know who gets to wear the home colours? How is that even determined?

PSG is the home team. Whoever won that semifinal was guaranteed to be the home team.

Yeah I think we’ll be in the white kit. Just hope it’s not the yellow one
