Conflict of two worlds and powerful traditions

Youth and excitement against experience and organization. Two different football philosophies will unfold their virtues tonight at the Munich Arena Arena, in the 70th final of the top European competition and 33rd in the Champions League (22.00 Mega).

It is the first time that the two teams will face a formal match and only the second French and Italian team will cross their swords in the Champions League/Champions League final.

The previous one was in 1993 between Marseille and the second representative of Milan football, Milan. As it is now, that final was hosted in the Bavarian capital and found the Marseille team victorious.

Munich has created a terrible tradition. All four finals he has hosted, the first three at the Olympic Stadium and the last in the Munich arena, highlighted winning teams that had not previously won the trophy. It happened in 1979 with Nottingham (Malmo’s opponent), in 1993 with Marseille, in 1997 with Dortmund (Juventus opponent) and 2012 with Chelsea (opponent Bayern). The Parisians, therefore, have every reason to optimize that they will become the fifth team that will win its maiden trophy in the Champions League in Munich and the 24th in the history of the event.

In return, Inter has another amazing tradition to line up. From the 2007/08 season, any team that excludes Barcelona in the semifinals lifts the trophy. In 2008, Manchester United were Inter, 2010, 2012 Chelsea, 2013 Bayern and 2019 Liverpool. Neratzouri is the team that put out the Blaugrana semifinals this year in their semifinals.

French and Italians will travel by thousands to Germany to strengthen their teams, despite receiving 18,000 tickets. Over 300,000 were the applications that Inter received for a place in the Munich arena, while on the secondary market tickets were sold by mid -week up to 12,780 euros.

Nerazzurri decided to open the doors of Macha to watch her friends at their natural seat through large screens, and so will Paris. In Marseille, however, thousands of Marseille fans are buying Inter’s jerseys hoping that the Italian team will make them a joke and keep Olibik as the only European champion from France. Marseille’s most famous child, Zinedine Zidane, said, however, that she would stand by Paris for obvious reasons.

The French authorities are preparing for the event that Paris lifts the trophy. If Marcinius takes the Holy Grail then, then Luis Enrique’s players may have a triumphant welcome in Sanz Elise, similar to that of the French national players when they won the World Cup in 1998.

Paris will play in the second final of its history after Bayern’s 2020 defeat in Lisbon, while Inter will take part in the 7th time, third in the Champions League and second in the last three years. In 2010 he won Bayern 2-0, while in 2023 he lost 1-0 to Manchester City.

The two finalists come to the final from different starting points, after epic victories and historical upheavals.

In League Phase Inter was one of the most stable teams. He was only lost once, by Leverkusen 1-0, which was the only goal he conceded, while in the knockouts he excluded two big favorites, Bayern, who longed to reach the final to be hosted at home and Barcelona. Her battles with Blaugrana have been recorded as classics in the history of European football as well as the overall score, 7-6.

Another striking element that characterizes this year’s Inder’s course is the fact that it has been back in just 16 minutes and 38 seconds or 1.2% of the total racing time.

The Paris scenario was completely different. Until the 5th race she was immediately in danger of being excluded, then to make three consecutive wins that sent her to 15th place and the playoffs. During her journey, she won the Manchester City in the League Phase and then excluded three more English teams, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal.

Neutral fans may have been waiting for a Clasico final or at least Barcelona and Yamal to be a finalist, but Luis Enrique thinks this year’s final may be one of the best in recent years.

« We know Lautaro and Turam, but Inter is more than that, he can play football. It’s a team that looks very much like us because she likes to have the ball. It doesn’t matter if players are missing, you will always see the same things on the court. A team made in the image of a great coach, Inzaghi, who has experience. But we are also a difficult team to play against her. Physically, they are stronger than us, they are very good in the setting phases. On paper, I think this is one of the best finals in recent years, « Luis Enrique said in his statements.

The conversation in the French capital revolves around the flight of Kilian Ebabe for Real and the comparison of last year with this year’s Paris. Her coach does not concern the past, on the contrary, she claims that last year, with Ebabe in her composition, Paris was « a real team ». « Let’s not forget that we had reached the semifinals. »

The point that satisfies the Spaniard from today’s set is that it does not depend on a player, but also the excellent work that his strikers do in the defense.

In another message he posted on the official Paris account in X, Luis Enrique said, among other things: « There was only one game left. There are only two teams left in the Champions League, Inter and us. Inter is a more experienced team. There is no doubt that it is worth the Champions League finalist, I think we can be proud of what we have achieved. But we need to finish the job because our goal is to write history. «
