Since 1962, there has been only one season, and the second-placed Champions League scored more than one goal in the finals.

Although many days have passed, the aftermath of the Champions League finals in the 24th to 25th season still shocked the world football world. There is no way, the 5:0 score is too scary and too subversive. In the past, the biggest score difference in the Champions League final was 4 goals, and Paris Saint-Germain further raised this standard, opening up new possibilities for the Champions League final. It turns out that the so-called peak European duel can also have such an extreme one-sided situation.

Most people focus on Paris Saint-Germain, and few people look at problems from the perspective of Inter Milan. It’s no wonder, what perspective does it have to talk about when you lose like this? Even if there is a perspective, it is a gray perspective. It is said that the runner-up will be forgotten the next day after the final, but Inter Milan may be remembered for a long time because the 5:0 background board is really too conspicuous.

In fact, objectively speaking, the second place in the Champions League is also worthy of respect. After all, like the champion, he played for a season and played all stages (the seasons of 24 to 25 are quite special. Due to the playoffs, Inter Milan performed well in the first stage and avoided this stage, but Paris Saint-Germain played the playoffs), and came to the final peak stage. To be honest, before 5:0, Inter Milan is definitely one of the most successful teams in the Champions League this season. Don’t forget that they scored 7 goals in Barcelona in two rounds in the semi-finals.

But the problem is, if you get 7 in Barcelona, ​​why did you stop the engine when you play Paris Saint-Germain?

In fact, if you look at the Champions League runner-up in recent years, all of them are not good. Like Inter Milan, have been knocked out in the finals in 2019, have been knocked out in Paris in 2020, have been Manchester City in 21 years, Liverpool in 22 years, Inter Milan in 23 years, and Dortmund in 24 years. However, Inter Milan lost a bit this season. As the most peak competition in European football, the Champions League final should have been evenly matched. Both sides scored goals, and even played a goal battle like the 2022 World Cup final, so that fans can enjoy it. But unfortunately, in recent years, the runner-up in the Champions League finals have been disappointing.

In addition, the Champions League runner-up before 2019 was actually not much better. For example, Juventus lost 1:4 to Real Madrid in 2017, and Manchester United lost 1:3 to Barcelona in 2011. how? Does the second-place runner-up pursue binary system in the finals? Is the number of goals scored or 1?

This is really the norm. Since 1962, the runner-up has only one season, and the runner-up scored more than 1 in the finals.

If you watch the ball for a long time, you will think of who this team is - the background board of Istanbul Miracle, AC Milan.

3:3, this is the 90-minute output answer for the Champions League final handed over by Milan. Although Milan seemed embarrassed to be reversed, they could score 3 goals in half. Who has ever seen a Champions League runner-up who is so arrogant? In fact, in that final, Milan was more than one level higher than Liverpool in terms of paper strength. They were indeed capable of scoring 3 goals in Liverpool.

Do you think Champions League runner-up like Milan is very common? wrong. As mentioned earlier, since 1962, no Champions League runner-up has achieved a stronger output in the final than Milan. There is not even a close connection. Except for Milan in 2005, from 1962 to 2025, in 63 years, all the Champions League runner-up scored either 0 or 1.

Finally, let’s talk about why it starts in 1962. Because before that, the normal state of the Champions League final was a goal battle. Real Madrid 4:3 Lance, Real Madrid 3:2 Milan, Real Madrid 7:3 Frankfurt, Benfica 5:3 Real Madrid... Are these finals very satisfying, and is the runner-up also awesome? The Champions League finals from 61 to 62 are Benfica 5:3 Real Madrid.

There is no hope that the second runner-up in the Champions League next season can reach Milan's output strength in 2005, but in the Champions League final, is it time to resume the situation of the championship and runner-up in the Champions League final? Let's start with 1, is that OK?
