Inter Milan lived a very harsh night after the humiliating loss from Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Champions League 2024-2025.
The “Nerazzurri”, led by its coach, Simone Inzaghi, performed a catastrophic performance against the Parisian giant in the match at Allianz Arena, to increase the largest defeat in the history of the final of the ancient European championship with a score of 5-0.
The Inter Milan season ended in a bad way, after it was a competitor for the trilogy, the team came out with a scale of titles.
The British newspaper “The Guardian” commented on Inter’s performance in the European final against Paris by saying, “It happened in Allianz Arena was a humiliation, similar to a biographical operation in the school stadium.”
She added, “Inter Milan, known for his fierceness and fighting in every inch of the stadium, was destroyed in a violent way, as he did not only make the final but lost part of his identity. This match recently revealed the limits of traditional courage in front of a team that plays with superior football intelligence.”
Not only did Paris Saint -Germain surpass Inter in the method of attack and collective defense, but also with small details, such as the lack of tactical errors, excellence in the airways, as well as obtaining the second balls.
Inzaghi’s plan relied on depriving Saint -Germain star Othman Dembele from the ball whenever he retreated back, but the French player went to the parties, taking advantage of the spaces behind the appearance and obtained support and support for the rest of his colleagues who have high individual skills.
Inter lost the battle of acquisition as well, as the Italian defense line found a solemn pressure from the Saint -Germain players, which made things difficult for their midfield colleagues and caused the defenseless dual -attack by Marcus Turam and Lotaru Martinez and depriving them of the ball.
In most of the shots, Saint -Germain had numerical preference even in the opponent’s penalty area, and the largest evidence of that goal scored by Moroccan Ashraf Hakimi, who put the ball in the net -free net from a very close distance.
According to the newspaper, this shot specifically hit the Inter players with amazement and shock to ask among themselves, “If their right back records from a distance of 6 yards. What is the use of our existence, then?”
“The only hope for Inter was a little retreating and absorbing the massive pressure practiced by Saint -Germain players in order to maintain the goal difference for as long as possible, but the rebound weapon was the repeated nightmare that caused them to be killed in the end.”
Druze Diou succeeded in scoring the second and third goals of two typical attacks, adding his teammate Khfisha, the fourth expression, then the substitute Bradley Barcola, who continued to manipulate Inter defense and humiliated Francisco Atharbi before he guided a decisive pass to his colleague Sini Mayo, the fifth goal.

“This degrading loss was for Inter, at the end of the road, although Inzaghi said that he would think about his future, but what future is waiting for this team? I am 37 years old, Jan Somer and Henrik Mukhtaryan, 36, and even the youth Alessandro Bastoni and Marcus Turam are not really young. Sooner or later, a new team will have to be built over the bones of this team.”
Inter Milan must rebuild the team at a time when the club lives one of the “moments of humiliation”, although the new project will be “long, painful and full of pitfalls.”
