Roberto Martinez, the Portuguese national team’s winner, has expressed a boundless admiration for Paris Saint-Germain after their brilliant victory in the Champions League against Inter Milan (5-0). In an interview with FIFA following the final, he described the performance of the Parisian club as “perfect”, highlighting the singularity of the score obtained in the final. For Martinez, this success is not the result of chance, but the result of hard work throughout the season, marked by significant championship and Coupe de France victories. He stressed the gradual evolution of the GMP, which improved week after week to reach an impressive level of maturity.
The Portuguese breeder particularly highlighted the PSG’s ability to impose his own style of play, with a team able to shine his field, exploit the speed of his side and offer spectacular football in the duels. He stressed the effectiveness of the top cleaning of the Parisian club, its rapid recovery of the ball and its solid defense, which allows it to create many opportunities. Martinez also stressed the pleasure of watching the PSG evolve, especially thanks to its defensive rigor and the balance it brings to the team, a key element for the major formations.
Finally, Roberto Martinez stressed the cohesion of the Parisian group, in particular the positive dynamic created by the presence of four Portuguese internationals, whose qualities he knows well. He noted that the difficult period that the PSG went through at the beginning of the European campaign eventually strengthened the team and helped it to take a decisive course. According to him, the PSG now seems “quasi unstoppable”, obtaining a form of international recognition that goes beyond the mere victory of a title. This performance is seen as the greatest victory of all, attesting to a higher level achieved by the Parisian club.
