I am a totally Madridista person but I do agree with you that a PSG and Barcelona final would have been better, because I would have liked to see BARCELONA fall in the final and they would have kept quiet a bit, I think it would have been more painful, it's not that it's Machiavellian, it's that they thought they were invincible, however the best thing is what happens, Inter knocked them out and I think that there Inter played their last cards and left nothing for the final, PSG did have clear what they had to do.
You're right Barcelona would've been a good match for the finals and it would've been a bad one for PSG, PSG should be very happy that inter eliminated Barcelona if not it would've been a stumbling block for them because PSG and Barcelona have almost the pattern of football and mind you that's a finals which I know that Barcelona will not joke with it, they would have given all they got that day to make sure that they win PSG, to me despite how PSG is, Barcelona remains their superior unless such has to be proven wrong this time by both of them meeting in finals of such competition like the UEFA champions league.
Inter spoilt the tough match we would have watched if it was PSG vs Barcelona, meeting at the finals of UEFA.
Till today, I can't imagine how Inter defeated Barcelona, only to lose terribly to PSG. Making this year's finals of UEFA to be less tough and uninteresting for us that watch it. Barcelona and PSG could have made a lot of sense, for teams that are passionate in winning their matches meet at the finals of UEFA.
Let us just forget about the disastrous performance of Inter Milan in the Champions League finals against PSG because they made many people angry with their poor performance, their loss in the final was just like when Arsenal won Real Madrid and everyone was anticipating that they will eliminate PSG in the semifinal, only for PSG to win them without stress. After the tough game Inter Milan had with Barcelona and eliminated them in the semis also, majority of football fans were already hoping that Inter Milan would defeat PSG at the finals, but the reverse was the case after PSG gave them a huge winning margin, very annoying defeat because it is rare to see a team win the other with that kind of score in a final.
