Match Summary:
PSG dominated with their high-pressing, fast-paced style, overwhelming Inter’s defense. Their midfield, led by Vitinha and João Neves, controlled the game, completing significantly more passes under pressure than Inter. PSG’s attacking trio of Dembele, Doue, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia exploited Inter’s vulnerabilities, while their defense, anchored by Willian Pacho and Marquinhos, remained impenetrable. Inter struggled to create chances, with only 13 of 27 long passes completed and a missed opportunity by Marcus Thuram in the 37th minute.
Key Performances:
- Desire Doue (PSG): Scored twice and assisted, earning praise as a rising star.
- Achraf Hakimi (PSG): Scored against his former club and was lively in attack.
- Willian Pacho (PSG): A rock in defense, his key takeaway led to the second goal.
- Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG): Had little to do but was solid when called upon.
- Inter Milan: Struggled to match PSG’s intensity, with their midfield easily bypassed and their defense unable to cope with PSG’s dynamic attack.
Post-Match Context:
PSG’s victory marks a historic moment, making them the second French club to win the Champions League after Marseille in 1993. The win completes a treble for PSG, having already secured Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France. For Inter, this loss marks their second defeat in a Champions League final in three years, despite a strong campaign that included victories over Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
