Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a commanding 5-0 victory against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute, followed shortly by Désiré Doué's goal in the 20th minute, establishing a 2-0 lead for PSG. Inter Milan struggled to escape their half, facing relentless pressure from PSG throughout the match. Just four minutes before the final whistle, Doué netted his second goal, with Kvaratskhelia and Mayulu also contributing to the scoreline, bringing the total to five. PSG showcased exceptional teamwork, solid defense, and outstanding goalkeeping from Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Inter Milan's Defensive Mistakes and Missed Chances
Inter Milan's inability to recover stemmed from defensive errors and a lack of discipline. Key players like Thuram, Acerbi, and Zalewski received multiple yellow cards, and the team struggled with offsides and handballs. Several attempts from Barella, Zalewski, and Thuram were easily thwarted by the PSG goalkeeper. The speed and precision of PSG's counterattacks frequently exploited Inter's defense, and their substitutions failed to make a significant impact on the game.
Opportunities Lost and Tactical Shortcomings
To have a chance at victory, Inter Milan needed to maintain composure and clarity under pressure. They squandered numerous opportunities due to poor finishing and offside infractions. PSG capitalized on Inter's lack of fresh tactics in the first half. Improved coordination in defense could have mitigated the impact of PSG's wingers. Enhanced midfield organization and passing could have created more chances for Inter to challenge Donnarumma effectively.
