The Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, which ended with a disappointing defeat for the Parisians, had an unexpected aspect that shocked the world of football. After the game, the PSG coach, Luis Enrique, made statements that aroused disbelief between fans and experts, accusing Inter Milan of being indirectly responsible for the failure of his team. According to Enrique, the defeat of the PSG was to be attributed to the fact that Simone Inzaghi’s team had influenced his players’ morality, destabilizing their concentration in view of the final.

“Inter won the Serie A, and this had a psychological impact on us. Our players could not concentrate completely on the final, thinking about the difficulties we would have encountered against a team like Chelsea. If Inter had not been so successful, perhaps we would have had a better mental balance,” said the Spanish coach, surprising everyone with a motivation that have judged ridiculously. The irony of this explanation did not escape the fans, who immediately poured on social media to criticize Enrique’s words, accusing him of looking for children’s goals for a defeat that depended mainly on the scarce performance of his team.

The most incisive answer came from the Inter Milan striker, Lautaro Martínez, who chose to respond directly and decisive to Enrique’s statements. “PSG has lost precisely because of his embarrassing game. If Luis Enrique thinks that the defeat is Inter’s fault, then it is clear that he has not understood anything about the game and his mistakes. We, at Inter, are proud of our journey and our victory. The PSG should have focused on his game and not seek justifications. The Chelsea deserved to win,” said the Argentine striker in a post-match press conference.

Martínez’s words immediately found the support of many insiders, who underlined how the PSG, despite the presence of world -class players like Mbappé and Messi, has not been able to express a fluid and cohesive game. The defeat against Chelsea was a scorching disappointment, especially considering the ambitions of the Parisian club, which had focused everything on the victory in the Champions League. The analysis of the match highlighted the defensive difficulties of the PSG, the lack of an incisive offensive strategy and the poor management of the decisive stages of the game.

In the meantime, the Inter fans, who witnessed a triumphant season in Serie A, commented irony with Enrique’s statements, expressing their disappointment for free and not very constructive criticisms. The rivalry between the two teams, now historical, has been further accentuated, fueling discussions that promise to continue in the coming months.
