PSG has an appointment with its history. In a few hours (9 p.m.), the players of the capital's club will enter the lawn of the Allianz Arena to play a Champions League final against Inter. It is only the 2nd final in this competition for Parisians, after that lost against Bayern Munich in the final 8 of 2020. From this team, there is only Marquinhos left, and to a lesser degree of involvement due to an absence of two years, Presnel Kimpembe. The latter is still in the group.
“”It's different from 2020. Socially, it was already a different moment. There was no audience and it was a completely different competitionExplained the Brazilian captain yesterday at a press conference. It is the symbol of this team, present at the club since 2013. He has known everything at PSG, great joys, in particular the national plan but also terrible disappointments such as the remover of Camp Nou in 2017, the hat -trick of Karim Benzema against Real Madrid in 2022. Each time, it was a symbol of these shipwrecks.
PSG wants to write history
“”People make a lot of comparison with all the years I have spent here and the teams I have had. But this team, she takes pleasure every day on a daily basis, in all matches, how we help each other, how we all run together, how we understand each other on the fieldHe continued in front of the media in pre-match. “”I think there is influence in this in the result of the team. I am in love with this team and everything we do on the field and everything we do for each other.»»
Marquinhos has already written the history of PSG, he can now write that of tricolor football by becoming the second captain of a French team to raise this cup with big ears after Didier Deschamps with OM in 1993. It was in the same city, not the same stadium. History has nothing to make symbols as much as there will be a tough opponent tonight. The Inter will put in addition to this probably at the end of the Simone Inzaghi cycle and will turn the page of an aging team, unhappy finalist two years ago. It is up to PSG to extend this dismay and to raise what its Qatari shareholder has been desperately looking for since his arrival in 2011.
