In the 2024-25 Champions League final, Paris 5-0 Inter Milan not only set a new record for the largest score difference in the Champions League final, but also set a new record for the largest age difference between the two teams in the Champions League final. According to statisticsThe average age of the starting line-up in Paris was 25 years and 96 days, while the average age of Inter's starting line-up was 30 years and 242 days, making Inter Milan a full 5 years and 146 days older than Parisć
Serie A has been far away from the era of the Seven Sisters and the Small World Cup, and now the visa-free Serie A is the retirement home of the Premier League, La Liga, and the Bundesliga, especially the Premier League players, who do not play well and enter the end of their careers, they will first go to Serie A for the elderly, because the pace of the game in Serie A is slow, especially suitable for players who are not confident and close to retirement.
Inter Milan has officially announced the departure of Inzaghi Jr. and reached the Champions League final for the second time in 3 years, which many people say is a pity. From a personal point of view, Inter Milan's 2 Champions League runners-up in 3 years are already the face of Serie A, and they have already played super strongly. For example, this season, if it were not for the absence of Barcelona's main full-backs at the same time, it would be difficult for Inter Milan to advance to the final. Why did Inzaghi Jr. go? Oak Capital is not willing to invest in reinforcements at all, former Arsenal frustrated player, 36-year-old Mkhitaryan is still the absolute main force of Inter Milan, and the 30+ year-old Champions League starting old boy squad was crushed by the 25-year-old Paris youth army with extreme high-pressure pressing. Since there is no good lineup, Inzaghi Jr. and Inter Milan can't talk about the investment in reinforcements, so they simply go to the Saudi Super Riyadh Crescent to pan for gold, with a tax-free annual salary of 26 million euros, and the Saudi Super League has worked for Serie A for many years, so why not?
Modric, who will be 40 years old in the new season, is also going to Serie A for retirement.La Repubblica: Luka Modric is rumored to have agreed to join, Milan offer a 1+1 contract! It's not that Modric is bad, and he can't play the whole game at this age, it's not so much that Milan signed a super midfielder Magic Flute, but that Serie A is really in decline.
In addition to the 39-year-old Modric, the 33-year-old De Bruyne is also going to play in Serie A, and Tintin's next stop is Serie A champions Napoli. Referring to Mkhitaryan's call for wind and rain at Inter Milan, De Bruyne, who has fallen off a cliff in form this season, will certainly succeed at Napoli. Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne are both super midfielders, but now Serie A can only be worthy of a superplayer at the end of his career. Serie A is now synonymous with a slower pace of the game, a "retirement home" for frustrated and aging stars, and the days of the Apennine Seven Sisters are gone.
