As UEFA Champions League Consulting his conclusion, a new master will be crowned after Real Madrid’s quarter final defeat against Arsenal. BArcelona, Inter Milan, Arsenal and PSG dream of lifting the trophy in MunichBut they must first navigate 270 minutes of intense competition and overcome a prophecy that does not benefit everyone.
The equation is simple: every Champions League final held in Munich Have seen a team crowned champion for the first time. This happened by 2012 when Chelsea defied all odds to defeat Bayern Munich on their home grass. The scenario was repeated in 1997 with Borussia Dortmund’s victory over Juventus.
The trend also held true in 1993 with Olympique Marseille and in 1979 with Nottingham Forest who defeated Malmo from Sweden. Arsenal and Paris Saint Germain, the only two of the four semi -finalists who have never lifted a Champions League Trophy, has reason to smile.
PSV curse
But not everything is rosy for both teams. Despite the great form of Mikel Artetas men and Luis Enrique’s Squad, both Arsenal and Paris Saint Germain must also overcome a curse to become crowned champions in Europe for the first time. PSV Eindhoven from the Netherlands is the protagonist in the shadow of a line that has been maintained since the foundation for the best club tournament on the old continent. No one has surpassed it.
Just as it happens in Copa Libertadores with Alianza Lima, No team that has met the Dutch team in the Champions League history has stopped becoming crowned champion at the end of an edition. Remember that Paris Saint Germain pulled with PSV on October 22 at home. Arsenal, for its part, beat them during the round of 16 with a global score of 9-2 that is also in everyone’s accounts. Within just four weeks, we will end who will use the curse or prophecy to their advantage.
Remember that Barcelona and Inter Milan have already been European champions and that none of them have had to meet PSV. 2015 and 2010 are the last editions where both teams ended as the best team in the Champions League. Waiting for a semi -final that already lived in both cities, PSV’s curse and the trend in a final in Munich is present in a edition of the European Cup characterized by history.
