There is usually time to savor between the victory of a UEFA Champions League semi-final and the top itself.
That was 3 weeks for Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in 2019, but for PSG and Bayernit just over 3 days.
And so, barely a week after celebrating their first final appearance, the French team lost 1-0.
It was a devastating evening for enthusiasts in the French capital. Not being able to attend the match probably gave them more time and opportunities to see what was going on in Marseille right after the final whistle.
Bayern players had not lifted “Ol Big Ears” faster than enthusiasts of PSG’s biggest rivals took to the streets and celebrated as if they themselves had won the trophy.
If he fro bullabesa in the Parisian wound, that’s exactly what the enthusiasts of the old port city wanted.
That’s football. It’s not just about loving and supporting your team, it’s about not loving others.
All teams want an opponent that you must do wrong, and nothing sweeter than watching that opponent fail at the biggest level of all.

The bitterness between Paris, the capital of the north that is considered the embodiment of sophistication, and Marseille, the archetype of the brave southern port city, is genuine and needless to say it is the same. .
Marseille is the French team that has won the biggest prize in Europe, even if there is a large asterisk influenced by corruption alongside this access in the record e-book, so there are even less reasons for southern club enthusiasts to need Paris to get the courage they so desperately want.
Growing up in England, at a time when English clubs were hosting European competitions, it was speculated by television commentators that all audiences would be interested in local kids in their continental challenges.
And some did, for the enthusiasts of many clubs, that was not the case.
Manchester United’s dramatic comeback in the 1999 Champions League final, when he returned from a purpose opposite to Bayern with two purposes in the time off to win the trophy, he had a good time in England and why?
If you’re a Liverpool fan who doesn’t like United, you need to hurt the team, all the time.
The fact that they suddenly play against a team from another country, there are many reasons for that to replace other people as much as possible, and vice versa.

For Arsenal fans, watching Tottenham lose in the most important game in its history last year may be a moment after Arsenal won it.
There may be many in France who need Paris to win, but it would be a bit if Marseilles felt the same way.
Boasting the loss of PSG makes a lot of sense to those fans.
Football is in terms of rivalries. Of course, they exist in other sports, but the intensity and breadth of the global game adds an additional dimension.
There are rivals of the same city, neighboring cities, from other parts of the country or even from abroad.
In fact, while Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal might love to beat Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, they would love nothing but the chance to take on the Wanderers in west Sydney.
Hila’s 2019 AFC Champions League triumph blotted out the pain and bitterness of the 2014 loss to the Australian team.
Big games offer opportunities for big trophies, but there’s a risk.
How much greater is the joy of Marseille enthusiasts than the global watching PSG’s pain is there for everyone to see in the biggest club game on the planet.
The club in the capital has spent massive sums for European glory, so being so close is heartbreaking for losers, but welcome elsewhere.
For fans, watching their rivals lose so painfully is almost as sweet as a non-public victory.
It may not be a mature or complicated reaction, but in football it is a very logical reaction.
