What a tie. I don't know where Inter found the energy to come back, they looked dead on their feet.
It's time for 5 refs.

All I heard was how different the outcome would be with Partey in the lineup.

:roll:

With Arsenal bowing out of the CL, they'll still have trophies for defeating Manchester City 5-1 as well as Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate.

As a Milan fan this final is the stuff of nightmares.

I never thought of myself as an Arsenal hater....but wow was I cheering for PSG this morning.

I cannot stomach Arteta and his demeanor.

Saw his comments after the game...apparently Arsenal are the best team in the UCL and Premier League, just the results don't show it. Pretty sure you don't get a trophy when you lose.
Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team

I don't like Arteta, but I like the Arsenal fans on this board. Tough loss to a good, in-form team.

So PSG never made the UCL final with Mbappe.

And Real, which makes the Final almost every year don’t make it the first year Mbappe is on the team and PSG are in the final in their first season without Mbappe.

For a team with many defensive talents Inter has too many lapses on defense

Inter have been totally exposed. Di Marco having a nightmare.

Meanwhile, Acerbi could've got one back on a header. Seems like Inter can get themselves back into it if they get a goal before half. But they have to do something about their defense

This PSG team is something. Really bossed it so far.

Thuram probably should have scored with that header, though.

Yup credit to Luis Enrique, somehow made this club quite likeable.


Set pieces is the key to getting back to this for Inter.

Dream half for PSG

Inter look so severely outmatched it's difficult to imagine it doesn't end 4-0
