Italy and Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero says PSG managed the Champions League Final like ‘a friendly’ and asks sarcastically: ‘Did I see three Vitinha?’
Del Piero analysed PSG’s massive win over Inter in the Champions League Final on Saturday.
The game at the Allianz Arena in Munich was the single-game final with the highest goal margin between the two teams.
Del Piero: Champions League Final like a friendly for PSG
“Everything worked well. I’m not saying it was easy, but psychologically, they [PSG] managed it as if it were a friendly, almost as if it were the tenth league game,” Del Piero told Sky Sport via SOSFanta.
“They were serene from minute one. It’s special. Everyone talks about the coach. Luis Enrique succeeded where everyone failed. There was a mentality switch.”
Former Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi criticised Inter’s mentality and physical preparation for the game, and Del Piero was just as harsh on the Nerazzurri.
“The owners have invested a significant amount of money, and they were present,” the former striker added.
Del Piero: ‘Did I see three Vitinha?
“Luis Enrique first trained the men and then the footballers. You could see it on the pitch. Did I see three Vitinha here? On the other side, [Inter] lacked all these things. It was a bad day; nothing worked at all.”
Del Piero won the Champions League with Juventus in 1996, but lost finals in 1997, 1998 and 2003.
The former striker is the player with the most goals and appearances for the Bianconeri.
Inter returned to Milan on Sunday morning, and their coach, Simone Inzaghi, will soon meet President Giuseppe Marotta to determine his future at the club.
