Why PSG is a little bit more dominant
PSG showed a strong performance against three Premier League clubs from the round of 16 to the semifinals. And in addition to the aggressive form through the destructive power of Hvicha and Dembele from the side, Donnarumma’s good defense from the back played a big part in reaching the final.
On top of that, Luis Enrique’s experience, who already has Championship-winning experience, would have allowed the team to manage and operate the squad efficiently during the tournament.
On the other hand, Inter won the semifinal match against Barcelona after a 7-6 slugfest, but in terms of content, it was a game that was overcome with concentration while operating on a defensive level. Although Inter shows a high level of organization under the leadership of Inzaghi, it is true that they are not as destructive as PSG in terms of content.
