Who wins this game, at least based on, uh, tactically, uh, two good managers, right, because you've got Inzagi who's like very futuristic as far as his tactic as far as his tactics are.

I think a lot of teams are gonna be playing like Inzagi Zinta in the next 2 to 3 years because He loves to mix it up.
Positions are not important.
Being able to handle your position on the pitch is important for these players.
And then you got Luis Enrique, which molds his team based on the, the team they're playing.
He will adjust to get an advantage over the team they're playing.
He is that much of a, they're both.
Masterful tacticians, they're both masterminds.
They're both playing chess at a very high level.
It's so much so that I couldn't tell you who has an advantage tactics wise.
I think maybe PSG walked into this a little bit more because you're not really 100% sure exactly how they're gonna, I mean, you know how they're gonna sit up, but you don't know who's gonna hurt you.

Where when it comes to that, you kind of understand like this is gonna be Bedlam, but for the most part.
If you can get Laudro Martinez or Toram in space, you're in trouble.
Yeah, based on the lineups, you would think like the PS Luisianica has the the quality on his side.
He has a talent advantage.
I do think so.
Um, but there's just something about Inter Milan this Champions League season that is the belief, the faith that they have in themselves, and and I would give that to PSG.
Uh, as well, but In has have always managed to figure out the, the, even if they are up against a more a dominant opponent like, like Barca, they, they just find a way.
Advertisement
And that's my slight feeling is that they're just gonna find a way again.
I guess I kind of see where you're, where you're, where you're coming from, but at the same time, man, PSG wasn't even supposed to be here, bro.
They weren't, but the league phase was terrible for them.
It took them really a while to kind of get going.
They're playing on house money and they've looked good throughout.
I've said, even before they played against Arsenal, my favorite team and the team that I support, I said PSG is winning this whole thing.
So I'm gonna have to stand on that business and say, I think Luis Enrique kind of figures it out.
Advertisement
We gotta give our predictions.
Uh, what do you, who do you think is gonna win and what do you think the score is gonna be?
PSG 31.
I think this game is a tossup.
I it's really difficult to pick.
I, I think they're both not necessarily evenly matched in every asset, but like the where one team is, is strong, the other team is weak and vice versa and in other parts.
I'm gonna, I think it's gonna be a high scoring game.
I think it's gonna be 3-2 enter, but I think this goes to extra time.

Inter Milan President Denies Talks With Como Coach Cesc Fabregas: ‘We Never Spoke With Him Directly'
Inter Milan President Denies Talks With Como Coach Cesc Fabregas: 'We Never Spoke With Him Directly' Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta denies that there were any talks between the Nerazzurri and Como coach Cesc Fabregas. Speaking at the Festival de Parma, via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri President addressed his club's reported interest in appointing the Spaniard. Advertisement It is hardly a secret that Inter Milan had considered Cesc Fabregas as a major candidate to replace Simone Inzaghi as coach. Reportedly, the Como coach was one of the top names that the Nerazzurri considered after Inzaghi stepped down. However, there was always the key matter of whether or not Como would sanction the move. Lariani President Mirwan Suwarson strongly rebuffed the Nerazzurri's interest, and stated that his club would refuse to release the Spaniard. Therefore, in the end, Inter moved for Cristian Chivu instead of Fabregas. Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta Denies Talks With Como Coach Cesc Fabregas COMO, ITALY – APRIL 27: Francesc Soler Fabregas head coach of Como 1907 celebrates the victory at the end of the Serie A match between Como and Genoa at Stadio G. Sinigaglia on April 27, 2025 in Como, Italy. (Photo by Pier) Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta claimed that there was 'nothing' between the Nerazzurri and Cesc Fabregas. Advertisement 'Because we never spoke with him.' 'We simply asked Como if we could test the waters as far as his availability,' Marotta explained. 'As is right. In this line of work, the coach is like a general manager,' the Inter President continued. 'We asked about it. But it wasn't possible.' However, Marotta made clear that 'Chivu is not a Plan B or a backup option.' Rather, the Inter President made clear that the Romanian coach is 'simply the choice we went with after.' Meanwhile, Marotta also addressed rumours of Inter's interest in Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund and Parma's Ange-Yoan Bonny. 'These are names that can be included among a list of other names that are subject of interest and possible negotiations,' he kept it tight-lipped.

Tottenham reveal why Ange Postecoglou was sacked despite Europa League win
Dismissed: Ange Postecoglou has been sacked by Tottenham despite winning their first major trophy for 17 years (Zac Goodwin/PA Wire) Tottenham have revealed that the board unanimously decided to sack Ange Postecoglou as manager after concluding that they could not 'base the decision on emotions aligned to' winning the Europa League. Confirmation arrived on Friday evening that Spurs have sacked Postecoglou after two years at the helm, with Brentford's Thomas Frank the early front-runner to replace him. Advertisement The decision was largely taken due to the club's unprecedented 22 defeats and worst-ever 17th-place finish in the Premier League this season. It comes despite Postecoglou having delivered Spurs their first piece of major silverware in 17 years by guiding them to Europa League glory in Bilbao last month. That trophy, secured with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final, earned Spurs a return to the Champions League for next season, but Postecoglou has been informed that he will not be the man to lead them through that campaign. Tottenham's full statement published on their official website read: 'Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Advertisement 'Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month — an achievement that will live with us all forever. 'We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. 'However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. Advertisement 'This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances — injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph.' Spurs added: 'It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. 'We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. 'We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future - he will always be welcome back at our home. 'News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course.'
