"10 out of 10"
Two stars of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) accepted a very rare 10-point rating from French leading magazine 'L'Equipe' after winning the European Champions League. On the other hand, a defender from Inter Milan, who had a nightmare night by dedicating five goals in the final, scored only one out of 10.
France's first-round PSG defeated the Italian powerhouse, Inter Milan, 5-0 in the European Champions League final held at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 1st (Korea time), lifting its first Champions Cup in 55 years since its foundation in 1970.
L'Equipe, a French sports magazine, is famous for being stingy and strict about ratings. The highest score of 10 is rarely given to players who have shown irrefutable performance, but as many as two players received a perfect score of 10 in the final of PSG. This means that he couldn't find any flaws in his performance. 2005-born striker Desiree Doue, who was replaced in the second half after scoring two goals and one assist, received 10 points. L'Equipe commented "The teenage player's performance on the biggest stage in Europe is amazing" It was such a great performance that it was regrettable that he could not complete the hat trick due to the replacement. Desiree was also responsible for the UEFA European Champions League Young Player Award. Due scored five goals and three assists in 16 European Champions League matches.
L'Equipe then gave Luis Enrique, who once again dominated the European stage following his time as Barcelona's head coach 10 years ago, a perfect score of 10. "Enrique's decision to choose Due instead of Bradley Barcola as the right winger has paid off greatly. His ability as a coach is a complete success."

It was an overwhelming and absolute performance, with none of the PSG players receiving less than 7 points. 'Ballon d'Or Candidate' Usman Dembele scored eight points. The midfield trio consisting of Vitinha, Neves and Fabien Lewis, as well as defenders Hakimi and Pacho, also scored eight points side by side. Hakimi scored PSG's fourth goal in the final, but did not celebrate the goal in front of his former team Inter Milan.
On the other hand, it was a nightmarish night for Inter Milan, directed by Simone Inzaghi. Inter Milan players also had the worst ratings. Left wingback Federico DiMarco, who was replaced early in the second half after dedicating the first and second goals in succession, tasted the humiliation of one point in the lowest rating. L'Equipe described his performance as "disaster". Only three of Inter Milan's players received two or more points. Benjamin Pavard had four points, Alejandro Bastoni had three, and Marcus Turam had four.
Inzaghi also scored only two points. L'Equipe's sharp criticism was not avoided. "The players were unable to remain calm on the field because the coach showed too much emotion during pre-match preparations" he criticized. "His last game on the Inter Milan bench was a disaster," L'Equipe criticized Inzaghi, who is on the Saudi league's hippopotamus in the summer transfer window.
