Luis Enrique Martínez’s team continues to break records. Keep breaking prophecies. And, for second year in a row, they are European champions. Something that had only been achieved by Zidane’s Real Madrid, who also did it three times. Now, PSG too has broken this prophecy that had been fulfilled since the 2014 final, also with Real Madrid breaking the statistics.
It’s something simple, if you started winning, you ended up winning. Only Ramos broke that by tying Godín’s goal in stoppage time. But from Lisbon, No team has managed to come back or simply win the European Cup after starting losing. Until today. Until Luis Enrique arrived.
Luis Enrique’s ecstasy after his second consecutive Champions League with PSG: the ‘madness’ of a genius!
To give you an idea of the magnitude of what the Spanish coach has achieved today, these were the Champions League finals since 2014. Remember that no one came back from that Real Madrid in Lisbon:
- Real Madrid 4-1 Atlético de Madrid: Godín scored the first
- Juventus 1-3 FC Barcelona: Rakitić scored the first
- Real Madrid 1(5)-(3)1 Atlético de Madrid: Ramos scored the first
- Juventus 1-4 Real Madrid: Ronaldo scored the first
- Real Madrid 3-1 Liverpool: Benzema scored the first
- Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool: Salah scored the first
- PSG 0-1 Bayern: Coman scored the first
- Manchester City 0-1 Chelsea: Havertz scored the first
- Liverpool 0-1 Real Madrid: Vinicius scored the first
- Manchester City 1-0 Inter: Rodri scored the first
- Borussia Dortmund 0-2 Real Madrid: Carvajal scored the first
- PSG 5-0 Inter: Hakimi scored the first
- PSG 1(4)-(3)1 Arsenal: Havertz scored the first
All of these teams have tried. And only PSG has achieved it. A team that plays like that, a team. Without individualities. And with the luck of the champion, you also have to play with it. On penalties, after starting to lose the game very early.
By the way, one penalty shootout that has not been seen since Real Madrid’s against Atléticowhere the whites raised the eleventh. Also, for continuing to highlight data that has been broken today in this final: since 2018in Real Madrid-Liverpool, Both teams did not score in the final. Today, PSG broke the statistic again.
