Inter Milan Attack Nonexistent Vs PSG – Lautaro & Thuram Isolated, No Shots On Target Until 75th Minute
Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram were isolated and had no impact as Inter Milan's attack was 'nonexistent' against PSG.
This is the view in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

It would be an understatement to say that Inter Milan struggle to cope with Paris Saint-Germain yesterday.
Quite simply the Nerazzurri failed to get up the pitch for much of the first half. And then when they did start to throw caution to the wind, they looked toothless as they approached the PSG penalty area.

As the Gazzetta note, Inter did not even muster a shot on target against Paris Saint-Germain until the 75th minute.
And it was clear to see why that was the case, watching the performances from the Nerazzurri's two forwards.
In the case of Inter captain Lautaro Martinez, the Argentine attempted to drop back at times. But unlike his PSG opposite number Ousmane Dembele, his efforts to add numbers to midfield bore little fruit.

Meanwhile, Martinez did attempt to win some physical challenges with PSG defender Willian Pacho. But for all his effort and grit, the Argentine never turned any of these into dangerous situations.
Meanwhile, Marcus Thuram did have one halfway dangerous chance in the second half. But that was hardly enough, particularly considering that he never really held onto the ball or got Inter into the PSG final third.

Barcelona stars Lamine Yamal & Raphinha's updated Ballon d'Or odds after PSG's UCL triumph

An update on the chances of one of Barcelona pair Lamine Yamal and Raphinha lifting this year's Ballon d'Or has been forthcoming online. And the info points towards the hopes of the pair beginning to fade. Advertisement The subject of the Ballon d'Or race has of course taken its place front and centre in the chatter across Europe once more over recent days. This comes after Paris Saint-Germain secured the club's first-ever title in the Champions League. Ousmane Dembélé, who was already considered as being amongst the frontrunners to lift the 'Golden Ball', played a starring role in the Munich showcase, notching a pair of assists en route to a 5-0 drubbing of Inter Milan. And if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then such exploits appear to have put Dembélé in prime position to be named world football's best player. Advertisement As per French outlet Actu Foot, citing the latest bookmakers' odds, PSG's in-form frontman is now considered as having a 66% chance of winning the Ballon d'Or' Lamine Yamal, meanwhile, sits some way back in 2nd on 27%, with Barcelona teammate Raphinha rounding out the top-3, joining Mohamed Salah on 9% odds.

Djokovic cruises into record 19th French Open quarter-final

Novak Djokovic secured his 100th win at the French Open as he beat Cameron Norrie (ALAIN JOCARD) Novak Djokovic eased into a record-breaking 19th Roland Garros quarter-final with a comfortable straight-sets victory over Cameron Norrie on Monday. The three-time French Open champion will renew his rivalry with third seed Alexander Zverev in the last eight on Wednesday after seeing off Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 on Court Philippe Chatrier. Advertisement His tally of 19 quarter-final appearances at Roland Garros is the record for a single Grand Slam tournament. "I feel good. I know I can play better. But 12 sets played, 12 sets won, it's been solid so far," said the 38-year-old after his 100th French Open win. "It's great, but victory number 101 would be better. I'm very honoured... But I need to continue now." Djokovic holds an 8-5 winning record in his head-to-head with German Zverev, but retired injured from their last meeting in the Australian Open semi-finals in January. "He's 10 years younger. He calls himself a veteran of the game. What should I call myself, then?," Djokovic said of his next opponent. Advertisement Britain's Norrie, a former top-10 player now ranked 81st, has lost all six of his career matches against Djokovic. The sixth-seeded Djokovic showed no ill-effects from a "complicated" trip back to his hotel on Sunday night after attending Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League title celebrations at the Parc des Princes. PSG forward Ousmane Dembele presented the trophy to the crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier ahead of Djokovic's match. "They (security) were suggesting us at one point not to go back at all, to maybe find a place to sleep somewhere around here for a night, because at that point it was already past midnight and some gas bombs and cars under fire and stuff happening on the street that was really dangerous," Djokovic said. Advertisement "In the end we talked. We waited for a bit, and then we decided to go. Then it was fine. In the end we reached the hotel all good, but it was quite noisy with a lot of things happening outside of the hotel... "At some point it was getting out of hand, but it's understandable that people are so excited." The Serb, hoping to set a new outright record of 25 Grand Slam titles this week, dominated against Norrie from the start. He broke serve three times in a one-sided opening set, before battling through a closer second, crucially saving a break point before holding for a 3-2 lead. Norrie, playing in the second week in Paris for the first time, mustered little resistance in the third set as Djokovic wrapped up victory on his first match point. jc/ea
