Oh no! Inter fell into a trap. They overcommitted into gaining the lead, which is exactly the strength of PSG's defensive prowess - holding on to a terrifying counter attack. Basically, a team with a persisting attacking force enough to get beneath PSG's defense can easily score the club. Arsenal is a kind of club that pressures PSG, Inter is always likely to lose against PSG.

Inter didn't need much fast attacking playstyle to conquer PSG — that's something PSG excels at. What's very frightening about PSG right now is their midfield. PSG midfield made Liverpool's midfielders look like a joke and even Arsenal midfielders (rice + oddegard) were outworked by PSG's?

A better match up would've been PSG vs Barcelona.

I’ve said it before and would say it any other day when opportunity provides, Inter Milan had no business in the UCL finals. Yes, they fought their way through the stages and even Barcelona to get to the finals and when they finally arrived, they messed it all up, not just for themselves but, the UCL was mad a laughing stock.
Barcelona would have given us a far better show than we had with Inter Milan and yeah, the midfield has always been one means to better control the game. Own that and you would be on to something. PSG showed a peculiar mastery of it in the finals and they never got to slow it down.

You may be right Smartvirus but you never can tell if Barcelona would have given us a better show that day, don't forget the match between Barcelona and inter Milan was a very big match and everyone really enjoyed it in fact it was as if it was a final match, for the fact that inter Milan defeated Barcelona means that inter Milan was more stronger and inform, in the first leg match between Barcelona and inter Milan, inter Milan was leading with 2 goals before Barcelona equalized and they draw the match, for me Barcelona would have done better but I still believe PSG would have won them because PSG was very determine to win and very much inform.
Some people are saying if it was Barcelona and PSG that played the final that Barcelona would have won PSG, but if inter Milan would have won Barcelona then I believe Barcelona wouldn't have won PSG.
