The day after the incredible qualification of Inter Milan against Barça, PSG in turn won its ticket for Munich, theater of the final, on May 31. Already winner 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium, the capital's club gave this to the Parc des Princes against Arsenal and confirmed its ease against the residents of Premier League.
In the final, it is therefore a giant of Italian football that PSG will have to drop to win the first Champions League in its history and the task will inevitably be difficult. “For me, Paris is not favorite. Thinking for a second that you can be favorite in front of an Italian team is that you don't understand anything about football ”, also assured Christophe Dugarry at the microphone of RMC.
Less definitive than his former teammate in the Blues and in Bordeaux, Bixente Lizarazu is also suspicious. The fault in particular of the success of the integrators on the set kicks, one of the weak points of the Parisians. “Inter is the best team on offensive stop kicks. And that is a bit of a weakness from Paris Saint-Germain lately, so they have to work on it ”, he entrusted to the microphone of Franceinfo.
PSG trapped by its youth?
Inter Milan can also take advantage of the experience of the Champions League final disputed two years ago against Manchester City. An advantage with regard to the importance of “Emotional management of a final”. “Paris played a final against Bayern five years ago, but it was not the same group. This group is very young, he did not experience this pressure, and it is not easy. So I think it's going to be a big psychological work for Enrique ”, he said.
However, the Basque did not fail to underline the route directed by PSG. “Paris is capable of being flamboyant, especially when they control the game well, but Paris is also able to suffer and it takes all these qualities to go far”, he explained, adding: “Paris eliminated Liverpool, who was the big favorite of this competition. I think it gave them confidence. Then, Paris changed its game and knows how to alternate possession and transition, counterattacks. »»
