Marco Mazzarri was criticized for her comments before Inter's final match against Paris Saint-Germain
Who could have told Materazzi that Inter's 5-0 defeat in the 2025 Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain would cost her more than the now-retired members of the team, including Simone Inzaghi and Lautaro Martinez?
The reason for this is due to the recent interview of this former Inter star, who admitted in this interview that she was a supporter of Barca and Real Madrid in the finals of the European Champions League in 2015 (Barcelona-Juventus) and 2017 (Real Madrid-Juventus)
He said: "I was there in Berlin and Cardiff, when Juve lost my heart was pounding because if they had won it would have been terrible." This former defender, who as a reserve player in Jose Mourinho's team, led Inter to win the European Champions League in 2010, faced criticism, and Italian media such as Tuttosport, recalling this story from the boomerang effect, said that he took the skirt of the former Inter captain.
Inter's disappointment is certainly not comparable to theirs, and even in terms of the scale of the defeat, it is worse than what Juventus experienced in 2015 and 2017. The Old Lady lost to Barcelona 1-3 in Berlin and lost 1-4 to Real Madrid in Cardiff.
On the other hand, Inter lost 0-1 against Manchester City in the Istanbul 2023 final and experienced its worst defeat two years later in Munich against Paris Saint-Germain with a result of 0-5. In Italy and especially in Turin, some reactions were published on social networks.
Indeed, Materazzi himself told Sky Sports after watching Inter's poor performance in Saturday's European final against PSG: "It was really agonizing... it was painful but you have to start again, right? My career started with a heavy defeat when I lost the championship in the last game in 2002 but then I won everything.
For all the players who suffered, I wish them a chance to start over. They lost with dignity, even if the result was very heavy, but they are ready to start again and they have this opportunity because in football it is always possible. "I don't say every three days, but in this case every fifteen days, because after that the Club World Cup starts."
