PSG's strange tactics

In the early hours of June 1st, Paris Saint Germain began their final match against Inter in a surprising way, kicking the ball straight out of bounds right from the start of the game.

The perplexing situation sparked heated discussions among 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 ritual that the French champions regularly perform at the start of matches. In most of PSG's games, such as in Ligue 1 and even their previous clash with Liverpool in the Champions League campaign, PSG always try to kick the ball out of bounds near the corner flag.

PSG kicked the ball straight out of bounds when they took 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 position their players in the opponent's half," the English newspaper stated.

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

Contrary to expectations of an exciting match, the game at Allianz Arena turned out to be incredibly one-sided. Inter, known for their solid defense, conceded five goals to PSG. All the Serie A representatives managed was a shot from Marcus Thuram that was saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The final whistle blew, bringing overwhelming joy to Luis Enrique and his team. For the fifth time in history, the Allianz Arena witnessed a team lift the European trophy for the first time. The man behind PSG's treble (Ligue 1, French Cup, Champions League) was coach Luis Enrique and his young, enthusiastic squad.
