PSG - Inter (31 May 25)

This is made by one Bulgarian inter fan. It seems that the third kit is not "bad luck" actually

This game is all about presenting Inter’s brand to the world and we are playing in YELLOW? our marketing department is in shambles right now

The white could have have gotten us some of that Real Madrid European final aura.

Please change the thread name to PSG - Borussia Dortmund

Uefa mafia already setting and preparing whole event for PSG to be new kings of Europe. Sick and tired of treating Inter like some shitty club.

The two most deserving teams have made it to the final. We took down the favorites, and PSG steamrolled the entire Premier League. Now may the most deserving team win, and that’s Inter in my book. While pSG have been splashing cash like water, we climbed every step counting pennies. This is heart versus wealth, heart versus hype! Forza Inter! Let's go boys!!!

Real madrid wore their third kit in the 2017 UCL final and when they lifted the trophy they changed to their home jersey (white one).

We should worry more about the game itself and to make sure we finally win our last game vs PSG and lift that damned trophy after 15 years. I believe in our boys!

One thing I want to see here is the midfield show their best. Barca made our trio look invisible. Barella ran 15 km, and he was still invisible.

This was arguably our strongest department not too far back, and they should start playing like it.

In the unlikely event that we have a playoff against Napoli, will it be played before the CL final? My concern is losing that game and losing a few key players to injury when we head to Munich

 

[varmin]

We need Sensi and Esposito for this one

The funny thing is that their midfield trio held the ball more, but I wouldn't necessarily say they were better or more effective than our midfield trio. In the first game, yes, Pedri was the best midfielder of the game and without him Barca wouldn't draw us, but in the second game, nah.

While I wouldn't say no to having Frenkie or Pedri here, I just don't agree that our midfield looked invisible, we just focused more on fast counterattacks and we were pretty good at that. If we'll try to be cute and build slow attacks against PSG, I don't think we'll manage to score.

So "visibility" of midfielders depends on the playing style too. I don't think Barella had a Frattesiesque disappearing act, I actually think he was involved a lot. Helped stretch the field, he was the furthest player next to Thuram many times and I saw him everywhere when defending.

BTW just imagine how we would feel if somebody did a Dimarco and stole the ball on our side of the pitch to hockey assist the goal. Luckily we didn't anything that stupid.

All this to say - we have a certain system that just might work against PSG too, no matter how visible our midfield will be. In my opinion our midfield did great against Bayern and Barca, even if the opposing midfield looked more dominant.

Our midfield was much worse in the first leg. We just could never settle things down. In the first half of the second leg we largely controlled the tempo of the match and the midfield did a great job with those delayed passes to get behind the high line. It all crumbled in the second half once the fatigue set in, which won't be nearly as much of an issue now that we're back down to one match per week.

PSG with Fabian, Neves, Vitinha and also Zaire-Emery will try to impose their game and control the ball. The main difference is how quickly they move it forward and find spaces.

Raphinha performed some great through balls, most of which succeeded, but as phenomenal as Yamal is, he's a ball stopper and tries to take on defenders. PSG has four of those and none of them will think to go for the through ball before dribbling. Kvaratschelia, Dembele, Doue and Barcola, they'll all try to be fancy. Kvara will probably have to rethink that strategy if it won't work, but the rest, that's just how they operate.

The French league is dirty and tough, so their midfielders are accustomed to tough play, so even if we try to outmuscle them, they'll manage well. As I said earlier, it all depends on how much space we're going to leave them. I'd rather we let them camp outside our box than allow them to play closer to the middle of the pitch. Keep our defensive line as low as possible, but getting counters out wide will be trickier because all their defense is pacey as fuck.

If we manage to get a bunch of set pieces, we can make them pay. But at the same time, we'll need to be wary at the back since we all saw that Barcelona carved us wide open on several occasions whilst we were attacking.

Let's just hope Inzaghi has the full team to pick from. The rest will follow.

And I wouldn't underestimate Luis Enrique. The guy obviously manages to transmit a football identity to his teams, and we saw that with the Spanish NT and PSG now. And like Guardiola, he also is a former Triplete winner, and like Guardiola he also has some Serie A experience (with Roma, too), in his case as a manager, so he's not some random dude that manages a very expensive side. Don't underestimate him. He has enough time to think of how to play and he's not as stubborn as Flick to go all out and jeopardize his chances to win for some odd ideology.

Unfortunately, they are stronger then Barca. To beat them we would need to perform both half times like we performered first half time vs Barca at Meazza. Problem is that we were not capable for performance like that in whole season. Second half we just collapse. Than God and Acerbi for miracle cause whole second half we were overun.

my dumbass signed up for the UEFA website thinking I could buy tickets but that shit has probably been sold out for months

We were really struggling against Young Boys this season.

In no universe is psg stronger than Barca. This Barceelona has like a few players who are demons that will win ballon dors i have 0 doubts. Yamal is fucking INSANE. Raphinha too is better thaan any player in psg as is Pedri.

I won't go position by position but this Barca team murders every other team not named inter.

^ P$G is not bad this season - they're actually a structured team - and they don't play that high of a barca line. Having said that, If we survived Yamal and all that suffocating pressure in the semis we can go past this and win it. Different battle plus it's the final. I'm pretty positive about our chances and I think this is our year. Barcelona was by far the most difficult game we've played, same as in 2010, perhaps even harder.

If we do loose it tho, I'll put my heartbreak on the side for a minute or two and tip my hat to Luis Enrique who has become such a poor soul from loosing his 9 year old daughter that has devoted everything to the game in the aftermath (it's painful to see even tho he tries to always deflect it with positivity).

Never thought I'd see Inter 3 times in a Champions League final in my lifetime because we have suffered a lot too, let alone 2 finals in 3 years.
Thank you Inzaghi and everyone in the team.

It feels like it's our year. Hopefully that's not just a feeling.
Forza!

They have much stronger defence, fast and strong fullbacks that can stop our Wbs, they dont play naive like Barca, with high defence. Lets wait and see what Limone will cook, I trust him.
