Speaking in an interview with TNT Sports, the one-time AFCON winner was pleased with how his side secured their first-ever treble.

“It’s amazing, and the way they did it, they made it look so easy. They came with a good game plan, it worked out for them, and they totally deserved it.

“I didn’t think it would be 5-nil, I predicted 2-1, but who cares? I wanted to see them win, and they won. It’s great for the club, the first time in their history, and I think it’s good for football as well,” the former Frankfurt midfielder said.

Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are the mavericks of Luis Enrique’s side because of their skills and trickery. Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, asked Okocha if their skills made a difference, considering he was a wizard in his playing days.

“The skills were the difference, they used their individual talent for the team. They held the ball very well, and they made Inter suffer a bit. I think it’s down to their ability to do something with the ball.”

Owen Hargreaves asked Okocha if he’d play in the team’s current front three, considering how much they press without the ball, and the Olympic gold medallist said;

“If I were to play in this front three, I’d have no choice but to press like that. When you’re around great players, they make you look good.

“The pressing was incredible, but the hard work is in the mind. If everything is working out well, you don’t mind going an extra mile for the team, and that’s what they did.”

Liverpool legend, Steven Gerard, asked the former Super Eagles captain about his opinion on PSG’s manager, Luis Henrique.

“I think he made us realise football is a team game. No matter how good you are, if you’re not playing for the team, you can’t win anything, and they just justified that,” Okocha concluded.

Paris Saint-Germain will now join Manchester City, Real Madrid, Inter Miami and other clubs at the FIFA Club World Cup competition that will be held in the United States between June 15th and July 13th
