Paris Saint-Germain is highly regarded by experts and has high expectations ahead of the Champions League final against Inter Milan at Dawn on June 1.
PSG wants to assert its position on the French football map. |
Coach Luis Enrique didn’t hesitate to call the upcoming match in Munich one of the most important scenes in PSG’s history. The French team has never won the European Championship and needs this Champions League title to make history.
Power
PSG’s journey to the Champions League final has been impressive. Initially, they barely made it through the class. However, their ability to come back and overcome the challenges demonstrates the resilience and bravery of the French team.
Luis Enrique’s side beat top teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa in the knockout rounds en route to the final.
The 4-2 victory over Manchester City in the previous season was a significant turning point in PSG’s Champions League campaign. Prior to the match against Manchester City, PSG had defeated Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal, making many doubt their abilities.
However, starting in late December of last year, PSG seemed to have a makeover. They’re playing better. Impressive results in the knockout rounds have given PSG a lot of confidence. They’re ready to face Inter Milan, a tough opponent to face, but one that’s still under the control of “Les Pariens.”
The power of exceptional individuals in the squad helps PSG be more highly regarded than Inter Milan. Coach Enrique has many players who can pose a significant threat to Inter Milan’s defense.
The trio of Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désure Doue are enough to break down any defense thanks to their speed, technical platform and ability to create mutations.
Dembele is having the best season of his career, while Kvaratskhelia has the ability to hold the ball and make a big difference in attack. On the other wings, Desire Doue has a young and promising player.
Dembele is a strong contender for the Golden Ball award. |
Inter Milan’s defense, although considered the strongest in the tournament before facing Barcelona, showed holes. In both games against Barcelona in the semifinals, despite taking the lead several times, the distraction almost caused the La Liga team to let them advance.
These weaknesses of Inter present PSG with an opportunity. Inter’s defense, with many older players, will face a major challenge when faced with strong young attackers and exciting PSG’s stars.
Inzaghi – Inzaghi
PSG has an advantage over Inter in that coach Enrique won the European Championship with Barcelona in 2015. Meanwhile, coach Simeone Inzaghi has never won this tournament.
In the 2023 final, Inzaghi and Inter lost to Manchester City and Pep Guardiola. Coach Enrique’s experience should help PSG gain an advantage over Inter.
With the guidance of the Spanish strategist, the team’s combination of experience and youth, and the spirit of the team being forged through great matches, PSG has a reason to believe in a victory.
Inter Milan, despite being a formidable opponent, still has problems with their physicality and defensive systems. If they take advantage of decisive moments and maximize the abilities of their stars, PSG can completely make their Champions League dream a reality.
