The Club World Cup is about to start. Paris Saint-Germain is lucky that they have the opportunity to win all the championships of this season and may also become the seven-champion champion of the 2025 year. Yes, with the launch of the new version of the Club World Cup, every four years from now, Europe will have the opportunity to have a seven-champion title, and the previous six-champion title has been revised and upgraded.

At the same time, it can also be seen that Paris Saint-Germain has achieved good results in the Champions League in the past decade. You should know that Paris Saint-Germain qualified for this Club World Cup is not the Champions League championship this time, but the total Champions League results in the past few years. If someone had ridiculed Paris Saint-Germain as a nouveau riche before this season, then now, with the 5-0 Champions League final, those people may even be ashamed to leave.

Compared with Chelsea and Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League championship process and method are obviously stronger. You should know that in the past 60 years of the Champions League, there has never been a game with a gap of 5 goals in the final. Paris Saint-Germain completed a breakthrough in one fell swoop, setting a record for the largest score difference in the history of the Champions League final. Perhaps, in the next few years, Paris Saint-Germain will maintain long-term competitiveness in the Champions League.

However, today we are going to talk about another record. Few people noticed this record. Inter Milan in the Champions League final was disappointing, they were almost vulnerable. The score of 0:5 is too eye-catching, demonstrating their powerlessness and vulnerability. Even if Inter Milan scores a goal, 1:5, it can be considered a resistance, which can be regarded as a way to save some face, and it can also keep the biggest score gap in the history of the Champions League final at 4 goals.

However, Inter Milan has actually maintained its consistent character as the runner-up in the Champions League final in recent years. From the 18th to 19th season, Liverpool started 2:0 to Tottenham Hotspur, until this season, all the Champions League runner-ups were sealed for seven consecutive years. I won’t list the specific matches, everyone must be familiar with them, so I will just briefly talk about the score. 2:0 in the 18-19 season, 2:0 in the 19-20 season, 22-23 season, all of which are 1:0 in the 23-24 season, 2:0 in the 23-24 season, 5:0 in the 5:0 in the 22-23 season.

The second runner-up in the Champions League in the past seven seasons is disappointing, with no substantial output and no score in the finals. This makes people miss the era of Real Madrid's three consecutive championships. In those years, every time they reached the Champions League final, their opponents could score goals, and both sides had outputs. This kind of game is good-looking and can be called a peak showdown. Including Barcelona and Bayern, who were a few years earlier, also scored goals with the opponent.

So, before this season, in the history of the Champions League final, the runner-up was repeatedly blocked for several years?

It was the distant late 1980s and early 1990s. Eindhoven 0:0 Benfica (Eindhoven won the penalty shootout) in the 87-88 season. For eight consecutive seasons, the second-placed UEFA Champions League was completely blocked in the finals. 88 to 89 season, Milan 4:0 Bucharest star, 89 to 90 season, Milan 1:0 Benfica, 90 to 91 season, Belgrade Red Star 0:0 Marseille (winning the penalty shootout), 91 to 92 to 93 season, Barcelona 1:0 Milan, 93 to 94 season, Milan 4:0 Barcelona, ​​94 to 95 season, Ajax 1:0 Milan.

It was not until the 1995-96 season that Juventus and Ajax scored 1:1, and the runner-up scored in the final.

For eight consecutive seasons, the runner-up in the Champions League final was defeated. Therefore, next season, if the Champions League runner-up still does not score in the final, then this Champions League record will be tied. Even further, it may be broken.

But it is better to terminate such a record as soon as possible. As for the same sentence, the Champions League final is a peak showdown, and we don’t want to see a one-sided situation. Moreover, although the finals are unknown, you can see the scores of the last two World Cup finals, 4:2, 3:3, which shows that you can also play a goal battle in the finals now. Hopefully next season, we can see a game where both sides have output.
