"Real Nightmare Unfolds for Inter Football Club"
In a remarkable turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) claimed a commanding victory over Inter Milan in the 2025 UEFA Champions League Final, securing a 5-0 win and etching their name in the history books. The resounding triumph marked the second time a French team has lifted the Champions League trophy, with Olympique Marseille having done so in 1993.
France's prestigious sports media outlets hailed PSG's triumphant performance. L'Équipe proclaimed "L'Art et Le Triomphe!" (The Art and The Triumph), while Le Parisien hailed the victory as a long-awaited coronation for Paris as the undisputed King of Europe. Le Figaro praised the Parisian squad, including the young players who, after being written off by many following their performance against Manchester City in January, outclassed Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal on their way to Munich.
In Italy, the press was less enthusiastic about Inter Milan's performance, with Gazzetta dello Sport describing the game as a "tragic nightmare" for the Nerazzurri. Corriere dello Sport noted that Inter failed to pose a threatening danger to PSG throughout the match. Tuttosport criticized Inzaghi and his team for their poor showing, referring to the defeat as a "historic disaster."
La Repubblica continued the theme of disappointment, stating that Inter endured the "worst defeat in a Champions League Final" in the club's history. The helplessness of the Milanese team was palpable as they crumbled under the barrage of attacks from the Parisians, with the fourth goal coming at a time when both the San Siro and the Milan Cathedral seemed shrouded in a disheartened silence.
Spanish media lavished praise on PSG's performance, with Marca deeming the win a masterful demonstration by Luis Enrique, the Spanish coach who transformed the team from big-name signing-reliant to a cohesive unit focused on development. Mundo Deportivo concurred, applauding Enrique for executing his blueprint with surgical precision, ultimately realizing the dream that had consumed Paris.
In England, The Times praised PSG for successfully asserting their dominance over Europe, having humbled Inter Milan in a display that was both elegant and brutal. The victory confirmed PSG's title as the new kings of the continent.
This decisive victory not only validated PSG's years of investment under Qatari ownership but also provided a consoling redemption for the team, who were defeated by Bayern Munich in the 2020 final. In stark contrast, Inter Milan will have to take solace in the fact that they reached the Champions League final for only the third time in their history, but were unable to secure victory on this occasion, having lost twice in three years.
- As France's sports media continued to laud Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) Champions League victory, they also highlighted the significance of the team's 'employment policy,' as the young players, once criticized, proved their worth and played a crucial role in the triumph.
- Amidst the European league excitement, discussions in community policy circles revolve around the potential impact of the triple Champions League final losses on Inter Milan's employment and financial policies, as they strive to rebuild and contest future competitions.
