Bitter Champions League for Inter: overwhelmed 5-0 by PSG, Inzaghi's reaction

Under the spotlight of the Champions League final , the Nerazzurri were overwhelmed by a sparkling PSG, unable to resist the strength and determination of their opponents. A heavy 5-0 that leaves no room for recriminations, but that burns deeply. At the center of this debacle is Simone Inzaghi, the Inter coach who shows up at the press conference with a tired face, aware of a defeat that is difficult to digest for him, the team, the fans and the entire city, in a final that no one will easily forget.

To calm the atmosphere, at least for the moment , Beppe Marotta intervened. In an interview with SkySport , the Inter president confirmed his full confidence in coach Simone Inzaghi, while recognizing PSG's superiority on the evening of the final.

Marotta stressed that this defeat must not compromise the entire Nerazzurri season and recalled that no changes are expected regarding the coach:

“Nothing changes about Inzaghi: we said we would see each other next week , he still has a year on his contract.”

He concluded by thanking both the team and the fans, praising the path taken so far and recognizing the value of the opponents, defining the match as the closing of an important chapter.

Inter defeat in Champions League final: Inzaghi's reaction after the defeat

“This evening didn’t seem like my Inter , I know it and the lads know it too, but that doesn’t take anything away, I’m proud of the path we’ve taken .”

Then, the technician added:

“We found a stronger PSG, who deserved to win. We approached badly, we stretched ourselves and made their task easier. It’s a bad defeat, but let’s not forget the season. No titles yes, but very good all the same . The boys must keep their heads held high”.

The big question now concerns the future of Simone Inzaghi. The coach explained that in the coming weeks he will meet with the club, underlining how, after losing the second final in three years, the bitterness is still too strong to face the issue with serenity. He also highlighted how the club has always been close to the team, sharing the disappointment for the result.

“Will I be 100% in the USA for the Club World Cup? I don’t know how to answer that question, I came here for education and respect. This defeat makes me very sad.”

He then confessed how much this defeat caused him great disappointment, but he also recalled how one can emerge stronger from setbacks, even if it may seem like a cliché, confirming that for him it has already been like this in the past.
