Inter Milan Attack Nonexistent Vs PSG – Lautaro & Thuram Isolated, No Shots On Target Until 75th Minute
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. Advertisement 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. Lautaro & Thuram Isolated As Inter Attack 'Nonexistent' Vs PSG PARMA, ITALY – APRIL 05: Lautaro Martínez of FC Internazionale looks on during the Serie A match between Parma and FC Internazionale at Stadio Ennio Tardini on April 05, 2025 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) 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. Advertisement 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.

Saudi clubs take interest in Borussia Mönchengladbach pariah Tomas Cvancara
Czech striker Tomas Cvancara's very public rift with his Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach almost certainly heralds a departure this summer. Germany's Niederrheiner have little to-no-interest in retaining him, even amid news that starting striker Tim Kleindienst might miss the beginning of the season. Two reliable German sources – RTL/ntv and Sport1 – report that there's interest from the Arabian Peninsula. An unnamed Saudi Pro League side could help Gladbach recoup some of the €10.5m they once paid for their intended replacement for Marcus Thuram. Advertisement Having scored just six goals in 49 Bundesliga appearances over the last two seasons, Cvancara's estimated market value has plummeted from €12m to €4m. Gladbach have other options in mind for the attacking corps and will hope to shed themselves of their team pariah quickly. Sport1 does note that Cvancara himself still considers himself worthy of one of Europe's top five leagues. Whether or not a Serie A, Ligue 1, the Premier League, or La Liga suitor can be found nevertheless remains to be seen. GGFN | Peter Weis
