First thoughts, Stefano.

First thoughts is it's historic, right?
It's a historic loss for Inter Milan.
Uh, this, we haven't seen anything like this.
No team in the Champions League era has ever conceded 5 goals in a final.
We haven't seen that in any European final since 1962.
So, I mean, this is historic.
I don't think anybody expected this.
I think there was definitely a lot of people who had PSG as this dominant force attacking.
But everyone kind of wanted to say, especially prediction wise, everyone wanted to say, oh, but it's Inter's defensive prowess, a fantastic performance from PSG.
They are miles ahead of this In side, and you saw it right from the start, right?

It was, it was, it wasn't, it wasn't a game from the beginning.
For the final to turn out the way it did, it, it felt like, uh, you know, PSG is facing a, a team, uh, you know, the champions of Romania or something like that like how I, I, it's.
It's hard to believe, especially with the, the, the matches that uh um you know, that that Inter Milan had to get to this final, especially most recent, obviously in in like Barcelona, to be able to put in that kind of performance and not just, you could argue tactically they got things wrong because they gave up as many goals as as they did, but you know, to find the heart, to find the faith, to score the goals that they did and get to this final and just immediately not show up.

Donnarumma jokes abound after Chevalier howler on PSG debut

Lucas Chevalier's howler in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham prompted PSG fans to worry they will regret forcing Gianluigi Donnarumma out. Inevitably, the decision to freeze out hero of the Champions League campaign Donnarumma in favour of Chevalier poured extra pressure on the new goalkeeper. On his debut, he saw Palhinha's effort come off the bar with Micky van de Ven ready to turn in the rebound. UDINE, ITALY – AUGUST 13: Marquinhos, Lucas Chevalier and Willian Pacho of Paris Saint-Germain line up prior to the UEFA Super Cup 2025 match between Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur at Stadio Friuli on August 13, 2025 in Udine, Italy. (Photo by) Far worse was the second goal, as Cuti Romero's diving header on a Pedro Porro free kick found Chevalier totally unprepared, the finish bending back his gloves to loop into the empty net. Chevalier comparison to Donnarumma doesn't start well TOTTENHAM DOUBLE THEIR LEAD! ⚽️⚽️ New captain Cristian Romero on the scoresheet! 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) August 13, 2025 It was a real howler from the €40m plus bonuses purchase and did not go unnoticed by PSG fans who felt Donnarumma was harshly treated. The error was followed by numerous jokes on social media with supporters pointing out Donnarumma was probably at home chuckling as he watched his replacement struggle so badly. But that's none of Gianluigi Donnarumma's business 🐸☕ — B/R Football (@brfootball) August 13, 2025 Many more pointed out the Italian 'would've saved that easily' and while he may not have the skills with the ball at his feet that Chevalier might command, he is still perhaps the best shot-stopper in the game right now. 48′: PSG 0-2 Tottenham 😳 — CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) August 13, 2025 Set-piece perfection 😮‍💨 Cristian Romero doubles Tottenham's lead against the UCL Champions 🔥

Manchester United set to rival Arsenal for Paris Saint-Germain winger

Manchester United are looking to strike a deadly blow to Arsenal in the transfer market ahead of the season opener between the two bitter rivals at Old Trafford this Sunday. Focus on attack The Red Devils have prioritised an overhaul of Ruben Amorim's misfiring forward line after the club's worst campaign in the Premier League era last season. United scored a paltry 44 league goals with only three sides scoring less – Everton and three relegated sides, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton. No player in Amorim's squad reached double figures in the league while the senior striking partnership of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combined for just seven goals. The decision was made that the existing forwards were not up to scratch and new recruits would be targeted this summer to improve the team's attacking threat. Consequently, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have all been signed for a combined cost in excess of £200 million, beating out Premier League rivals in the race for each player. Fans are excitedly awaiting each new forward's debut in the grudge match against Arsenal tomorrow. All three are expected to become key members of Amorim's starting eleven with players like Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho likely to leave Old Trafford as a result. But United appear to show no signs of slowing down in their overhaul of the Portuguese coach's front line. The Red Devils are reported to be keeping tabs on further options to strengthen the attack with Caught Offside revealing the club are 'closely following' PSG winger Kang-In Lee. Behind Arsenal in the race Lee, 24, has been 'linked with a move away' from the French capital in recent months, according to the report, despite being 'highly rated by PSG manager, Luis Enrique'. United are said to be joined in the hunt for the South Korea international by Arsenal and Serie A champions Napoli with Lee's recent performance against Tottenham Hotspur in the European Super Cup having 'attracted the attention of Europe's leading clubs.' United hold a long-standing interest in Lee, who previously played for LaLiga side Valencia before his move to Paris. However, Arsenal have moved ahead in the race for the versatile forward after 'making direct contact' to agree a deal, narrowing United's window of opportunity to strike. INEOS will have to act fast to trump their rival and secure Lee's signature – as they have done so three times already this summer.
