PSG's strange tactics

In the early morning of June 1, Paris Saint Germain started the final match with Inter in a surprising way, when they kicked the ball straight out of bounds right from the start of the match.

The puzzling situation was hotly discussed by fans on social media. One fan wondered: "Why does PSG always do this right from the start of the match?". Another commented: "There must be a reason behind it."

According to SportJoe , this is a regular start-of-game ritual for the French champions. In most of PSG's games, such as in Ligue 1 and also against Liverpool earlier in the Champions League campaign, PSG always try to kick the ball out of play near the corner flag.

PSG kicked the ball straight out of bounds during the kick-off in the Champions League final.

"This bold and daring move often forces the opposition to take a throw-in deep in their own half, allowing PSG to quickly deploy their players into the opposition half," the British newspaper said.

PSG (average age 25 years, 96 days) and Inter (average age 30 years, 242 days) created the Champions League final with the biggest age gap in history (5 years, 146 days).

Contrary to expectations of an exciting match, the match at the Allianz Arena was incredibly uneven. Inter, known for their solid defense, let PSG score 5 goals. The Serie A representative only managed to get one shot from Marcus Thuram blocked by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The final whistle blew with joy for Luis Enrique and his team. For the fifth time in history, the Allianz Arena witnessed a team reach the top of Europe for the first time. The person who helped PSG complete the treble (Ligue 1, National Cup, Champions League) was coach Luis Enrique and a squad of young, enthusiastic players.
