Inzaghi declined to comment on his future with Inter Milan
PSG’s dominant performance sealed the French club’s first Champions League title and handed Inter the most lopsided defeat in the competition’s final history.
Inzaghi entered the match with uncertainty surrounding his future due to links with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
With talks scheduled with the Inter front office next week, he declined to say whether he would still be coach the team for the Club World Cup.
“I can’t answer that,” Inzaghi said in his post-match news conference. “I don’t want to answer that.”
“I’m really upset about tonight and I only came here to answer questions out of respect for the media and the role. Now is not the time to talk about it.”
“Since July of last year, we played 59 games and got to the final of this competition, so it’s not good to talk about my future now.”
Lopsided defeat
The Serie A side did not stand a chance PSG throughout the match, ultimately suffering the humiliation of a 5-0 defeat.
Inzaghi admitted that Inter had been beaten by a vastly superior club.
“PSG clearly deserved to win this match,” Inzaghi said. “We are very disappointed, but we had a great Champions League campaign and I am proud of my team.”
“Defeats can make you stronger. This one hurts a lot, like the one against Manchester City in Istanbul [2023 final].”
“We were more tired, we weren’t fresh and PSG were always on the ball before us. But we played for our league title until last Friday and they [PSG] won their league weeks ago.”
“We knew they were stronger technically and we weren’t organised tactically, so we deserved to lose, bottom line.”
“We failed to win the most important match and we are very disappointed, but we have been through this before. When you lose a final, it always leaves it marks.”
