EPL 2024/2025

[sparky]

It's the UEFA Champions League Final in a few hours time. Paris St Germain Vs Inter Milan in Munich.

PSG are very much the bookies' favourites and it would be big upset if the French/Qatari side didn't win: https://www.oddschecker.com/football/champions-league/winner

PSG lead 1-0 in the 12th minute. Goal by Achraf Hakimi the Right Back after a clever move.

[sparky]

It's been a really high press by PSG and Inter haven't been able to get up the pitch yet.

[sparky]

And Doué has doubled the PSG lead.

2-0 to the Parisians.

[sparky]

Think of the party in the City of Light if it stays like this after 90 minutes.

[sparky]

Inter are hanging on by the skin of their teeth at the end of the first half.

[sparky]

The 19 year old Doué is causing Inter all sort of problems.

[sparky]

Doué scores his second. What a talent.

PSG 3 Inter 0. The Champions League trophy is heading to Paris for the first time.

[sparky]

This has been a mismatch. PSG far too good for Inter Milan.

[sparky]

And it's four!!!!!!!!

Kvaratskhelia

It's a rout.

[sparky]

It's five!!!!

Mayulu, another of the 19 year olds.

If it finishes like this it will be a record-margin of victory in the final of any European football competition.

What a pompelling!

Hats off to Luis Enrique. Let's Kylian Mbappé leave, puts his trust in the youngsters and they win the Champions League Final with a rout.

[sparky]

The ref stops it on 90 minutes. He's right. Inter have taken enough punishment.

Ruthless brilliance by PSG.

After all those years of trying to buy big name established players to win the title, it appears PSG won it on the backs of kids

One of the most poignant things I've seen in sport.

Some random stuff.

Salah has played 8 seasons for Liverpool, his lowest scoring EPL season is 18 goals and he's missed a total of only 16 games in that time - it's an astonishing consistency in performance and fitness.

Frimpong to Liverpool and apparently Florian Wirtz is heading there as well from Leverkusen. Good luck to Erik ten Hag (new Leverkusen manager).

De Bruyne to Napoli possibly and Conte staying as manager after winning the title.

[Cyclops]

Yeah feels like Alonso timed his jump to perfection.

Bit late to this but man, I couldn't have been more wrong with my Inter prediction.

And to think how close we really were to toppling them in the quarters 😉

Ange has been sacked at Spurs.
