Heaven gave birth to Marotta, why was Enrique!

Ten years later, the two reunited in a Champions League final in Germany, but this time in Munich, on two new battles: Enrique led PSG, and Marotta was the one behind the success of the current Inter. Will the CEO of Inter pay the old debt, or once again bowed to Lucho?

Still the Champions League final. Still Germany. Different teams. But the “old” main characters returned. Marotta and Enrique. The 2024/25 Champions League final between PSG vs Inter took place on 1/6 in Munich once again witnessing the confrontation between Enrique and Marotta, two of the key characters behind the home team’s success.

Last season, Lucho helped PSG reach the semi -finals and collect Dortmund, the team then lost to Real Madrid in the final. And this season, the Spanish strategist led the home team in the final match convincingly after passing a series of names like Liverpool, Aston Villa or Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Marotta was no longer working at Juve, but became a main brain of the current flourishing cycle in Nerazzurri. Having been with Inter since December 2018 as a family, Marotta brought to Giuseppe Meazza a series of names like Antonio Conte and Simone Inzaghi to train clubs; Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku, Achraf Hakimi, Nicolo Barella, Christian Eriksen, Andre Onana, Hakan Calhanoglu, Matteo Darmian, Edin Dzeko, Marcus Thuram and Alexis Sanchez are some of his remarkable contracts at the football player, with many players in this contribution to Inter’s recent success.

Before Marotta arrived, Inter went through the drought of the title lasting 10 years. And thanks to him, Nerazzurri won Scudetto in 2021, 2024; 3 Italian Super Cup, reaching 2 Coppa Italia finals, 1 Europa League final and 2 Champions League finals.

And now, Marotta has been heading to the No. 1 European playground championship for the first time since 2010. However, to do that, he has to confront the old opponent Enrique, who is helping the Qatar owner realize the Champions League championship dream with PSG.

Berlin, Olympiastadion, June 6, 2015. Juventus confronted Barca in the first final against Allegri on the bench and Marotta was the football director. However, the Catalunya team led by Lucho was the team to win the championship with a 3-1 victory, thanks to the goals of Rakitic, Suarez and Neymar; While Morata scored the Honorian for Juventus.

The match in Munich will be Lucho’s second Champions League final as the coach. He did better than last year and was preparing for PSG’s first crown and his individual’s second time as a coach.

And the match against PSG will be the fourth Champions League final in Marotta’s career. He went through two such losses with Juventus: Losing to Barca of Enrique in 2015 (1-3) and Real Madrid in 2017 (1-4). In 2018, he moved to Inter and also lost to Man City with a score of 0-1 in the 2023 final. In this fourth time, Marotta hopes to add the most prestigious European Cup to his profile.
