Somehow I missed the Champions League final last Saturday, despite having it on my calendar. Since it is several days ago I hope I don't spoil anything by saying that PSG whumped Inter 5-0.
This year's season was nothing short of remarkable for PSG, primarily because the club became the most successful example of addition by subtraction since our '83 CHHS team benefited from the departure of the talented but selfish and disruptive T.R. After trying to build a franchise around the wonder trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, PSG reached the top after all of them left and Ousmene Dembele blossomed after years of playing in the shadow of bigger names. Yes, some younger folks also grew into larger roles, but it was only because the space was made for them to do so.
Hats off.
