JUST IN: ‘The Only Fool Here Is Me!’ – Inter Fans Vent Fury After Champions League Final Collapse Against PSG
The mood at Milan Malpensa Airport was one of dismay, disillusionment, and raw emotion as Inter Milan’s players returned home following their devastating 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final in Munich. Hopes of lifting a fourth European title were dashed in brutal fashion, and fans were quick to make their feelings known.
One supporter, voice shaking with emotion, summed up the sentiment of many: “The only fool here is me!” His words cut through the silence of the arrivals hall, drawing murmurs of agreement from other fans who had gathered to confront their fallen heroes.
Inter’s journey to the final had sparked dreams across the blue half of Milan. With a commanding Serie A campaign and impressive victories over Bayern Munich and Manchester City en route to the final, many believed this squad, led by manager Simone Inzaghi, was destined for European glory. Instead, the final became a night to forget as Kylian Mbappé and PSG ran riot, exposing tactical frailties and a lack of composure from Inter’s senior players.
Fans had expected a fight; what they got was capitulation. The team lacked urgency, creativity, and any real threat in the final third. Lautaro Martínez, usually so dependable, was a ghost. Nicolo Barella struggled to impose himself. Inzaghi’s substitutions came too late and did too little.
Upon arrival, the players were met with a mix of jeers and stunned silence. A few paused to sign autographs or offer brief apologies, but the atmosphere remained tense. Some fans held up scarves and banners, while others simply looked on with visible disappointment. For many, it wasn’t just about losing — it was about how they lost.
“They didn’t even show up,” said one longtime supporter. “It’s not the defeat that hurts — it’s the surrender.”
Despite the bitter ending, others called for perspective. “It was a fantastic season, and reaching the final is still an achievement,” said another fan. “But it’s clear the club needs to learn how to take that final step.”
Inter Milan must now regroup. The pain of Munich will linger, but if history has taught us anything, it’s that from heartbreak, resilience can grow. For now, though, the words of that anguished fan echo louder than any chant: “The only fool here is me.”
