Italy Star Admits There's 'No Explanation' For Horrorshow Inter Milan Collapse Vs PSG In Champions League Final Nicolo Barella says that there is 'no explanation' for the way that Inter Milan collapsed in the Champions League final against PSG. The 27-year-old looked back on the horrorshow that was that 5-0 defeat while speaking to DAZN, via FCInterNews. He admitted that the team have discussed what might have went wrong. Advertisement Inter Milan did not just lose to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. The Nerazzurri fell to a crushing 5-0 defeat. It was the widest margin that any team has ever lost a European Cup final by. Inter were 2-0 down by the twentieth minute of the match. And things hardly got better from there. For the entirety of the match, the Nerazzurri looked unable to cope with the physicality and organization that PSG brought to the match. It was a night-and-day difference from the 2023 final, in which Inter went toe-to-toe with Premier League giants Manchester City. Nicolo Barella: 'No Explanation' For Inter Milan Collapse Vs PSG PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Nicolo Barella #23 of FC Internazionale Milano warms up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California.

Advertisement 'And there probably isn't an explanation,' he went on. Barella commented that 'it's a combination of a lot of factors.' 'I would struggle to say, 'It happened because…' We tried to talk about it a lot, and confront one another, even the best players in the team.' 'Not to find a culprit,' Barella explained. 'But to understand the feelings that we had inside ourselves.' 'They were all different. So that means that there were a lot of elements to it.' Then, Barella noted that 'Football is like that.' 'It can happen that you have a bad day. Unfortunately, it happened after we reached the final. That's the biggest disappointment.' Advertisement 'But I'm staying on this path,' said the Italian international. 'We lost against the strongest team in the world,' Barella said of that defeat in the final. 'And we won against the two other strongest [Bayern Munich and Barcelona].'

Two Key Players Struggling To Adjust As Cristian Chivu Changes Tactics At Inter Milan
Two Key Players Struggling To Adjust As Cristian Chivu Changes Tactics At Inter Milan Federico Dimarco and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are particularly struggling to adjust to the tactical changes Cristian Chivu is making at Inter Milan. Today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, note how neither of the pair quite fit into the 3-4-2-1 formation that the new coach has been experimenting with. Advertisement Cristian Chivu has been Inter Milan coach for a couple of weeks now. Therefore, the Romanian has had a number of training sessions to put his stamp on the team. Moreover, Chivu has been on the bench for two Inter matches so far. He has coached the Nerazzurri in Club World Cup matches against Monterrey and Red Diamonds. Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri have one more group stage match to go in the tournament. Watch Inter Milan vs River Plate for FREE with DAZN on any device! These matches have presented an invaluable opportunity to observe how Chivu will try and change the team. Sometimes, the 44-year-old has stuck closely with the 3-5-2 shape that Simone Inzaghi had virtually always used. Advertisement However, Chivu has also tested out a 3-4-2-1 formation. That was the starting formation for Saturday's clash with Urawa Red Diamonds. Dimarco & Mkhitaryan Struggle To Adapt As Chivu Tests Out Change In Shape At Inter PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Henrikh Mkhitaryan #22 of FC Internazionale Milano warms up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) A big question with this change in formation has been how certain players would adapt. Inzaghi's 3-5-2 formation had gotten the best out of a number of players in the squad. And there are some early signs that certain players in the squad aren't nearly as comfortable in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Wingback Federico Dimarco had been one of the big success stories under Inzaghi at Inter. The Italian international had an enormous amount of freedom on the pitch, and particularly in the final third, under Inzaghi. Advertisement On the other hand, in the 3-4-2-1 Dimarco has to stay wider and deeper. This is because, with two attacking midfielders, it is harder for the 27-year-old to drift infield without stepping on other players' toes. Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan was another of Inzaghi's most-used players. The Armenian was the player who brought balance to the left side of Inter's team. But the role that Mkhitaryan really thrived in under Inzaghi was on the left of the midfield trio. The 36-year-old doesn't quite have a natural position now, either in the midfield double pivot, or as an attacking midfielder.
