PSG were crowned Champions League winners after a wide and convincing victory over Inter Milan in the final. The Parisian side handed the Italians a "glut," making it the final with the largest margin in the competition's history, having been practically decided from the very first minute. Once the match ended, Tomás Roncero spoke out on his X account (Twitter) to send a clear message to FC Barcelona.
"Barça is an overrated team"
Tomás Roncero, after PSG-Inter, took the opportunity to bring up old scores: "PSG have been infinitely superior. The thrashing is historic," he began. In this regard, he continued: "The question is: How could this Inter score seven goals against Barça?"
Recalling that Inter beat Barça 7-6 on aggregate in the Champions League semifinals, Roncero answered himself: "The answer is simple. Barcelona is an overrated team and this limited Inter exposed them."
The truth is that the numbers speak for themselves, as Tomás Roncero says. Barça conceded 7 against Inter, while PSG scored 5 against the Italians. If they had qualified for the final, the thrashing could have been historic for the Catalans. They should be grateful for not having reached the Champions League final, because the result would have been even more disastrous.
PSG win their first Champions
The Champions League is the most prestigious competition in European soccer, and only the best clubs on the continent have managed to lift it. At the top of all is Madrid, who dominate the all-time ranking with 15 titles, far above the second-placed AC Milan, who have 7.
Liverpool and Bayern Munich, with 6 Champions each, complete the honor podium. Barça, one of the giants of world soccer, have won the trophy 5 times, closely followed by Ajax, with 4.
Inter and Manchester United have 3 trophies each, while clubs like Chelsea, Juventus, Benfica, Nottingham Forest, and Porto have won 2. In the list of champions with only one conquest are historic teams such as Borussia Dortmund, Celtic, Hamburg, Marseille, Steaua Bucharest, Aston Villa, Red Star, Feyenoord, and PSV.
In recent years, City and PSG, modern giants, have each won a Champions, although their investment forces them to keep fighting for more.
In total, 26 teams have tasted the glory of being European champions. But, for now, Real Madrid still rule with an iron fist in the history of the Champions League.
