In the final of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain showed no mercy and made Inter Milan 5-0. The Italians had previously eliminated FC Bayern. All the higher, ex-international Michael Rummenigge estimates the performance of the French master.
“I have to honestly say that was one of the most one-sided endgames that I have ever seen. PSG was clearly superior from the first minute, tactically, physically, playful. Inter has never really arrived. And a 5-0 in a Champions League final, that’s historical,” said Michael Rummenigge in an interview with the “Westphalia Post”.
After 20 minutes, Paris Saint-Germain had led 2-0, in the second half the French made it really clear. “Luis Enrique set his team perfectly,” enthused Rummenigge from the coach of the radiant winner, who celebrated the triumph in an emotional way.
Although he did not meet in the final, Ousmane Dembélé was also strong. As the former BVB attacker acted in his role as the wrong nine, he “particularly impressed him,” said Rummenigge.
Dembélé had “played incredibly disciplined” against Inter “,” often let himself fall back “and thereby” opened rooms “.
“A team performance at the highest level”
Also for double packers Désiré Doué (“Two goals, a template. Madness!”) And director Vitinha (“dominated the midfield and pulled the strings”) had a special praise ready.
In general, he saw “a team performance at the highest level”-and not as a “one-man show à la Mbappé or Neymar, but through a real collective. And that makes this success special.”
Sharp criticism of inter-performance
Of course, PSG was able to shine like this because there was little resistance from the opponent.
“I had expected Inter stronger, they had a great Champions League season, defeated the German champion, FC Bayern Munich, and Spanish champion FC Barcelona. But you shouldn’t fall apart in a final,” said Rummenigge critically.
