Football Madness 2025: Week 1 recap

PSG is the new European Champion after beating Inter Milan 5-0. Some may think it was just easy because of the final score, but PSG did a great job last night. Inter, who scored 8 goals in the SF against Barça, could not even score a goal. PSG had several opportunities to even increase the distance, which, by the way, is the largest in a Champions League final.

What I find really interesting is that it's the first year that the PSG looks like a team, instead of several top players (Mbappé, Messi, Neymar,...) gathered together to win because of their names. Real Madrid can take some ideas...

The results of this week are:

This match closes our first week in our contest. This is how it stands at this stage:

There's a lot of grey on that spreadsheet. We all did pretty poorly (except for @TNStacker, who's just been on a tear).

You're right, especially in the Arsenal-Barcelona match, no one could predict that result...

That was the intention but if you haven't got a team, it's difficult to win. Messi's success was not only because he was the GOAT but having Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Puyol, Piqué at his side.
