Experience, Quality, Versatility – Why Inter Milan Can Win Champions League Final Against ‘Mini Barcelona’ PSG

The Gazzetta dello Sport brand PSG as a “mini-Barcelona” for their performances in Europe thus far.

The Parisians don’t quite have the attacking firepower that Barcelona do. Nor can they boast an individual forward as devastating as Lamine Yamal, or a midfielder with the class of Pedri.

However, PSG do seem to have a defensive steel and willingness to protect their goal as a unit that the Blauagranas do not.

Therefore, the Gazzetta argue, it will be a different sort of challenge to the all-out slugfest that Inter Milan had against Barcelona.

But the basic idea remains the same. Inter must keep a pacey, interchanging PSG attack at arm’s reach. And then attack the spaces that the French champions leave in behind.

And the newspaper argue that the key for Inter could be to use their vast experience.

For many Inter players, this is almost certainly the last opportunity they’ll have to list European football’s biggest prize at club level.

The Nerazzurri know what it means to miss out on it at the final hurdle from 2023. And they’ll do anything not to feel that heartbreak again.

That has been a motivator for Inter throughout the competition. It has pushed them to overcome the likes of Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona.

And for the Gazzetta, it could be decisive against Paris Saint-Germain as well.
