'It's a disgrace!' - Marco van Basten slams 'garbage' Linkin Park performance at Champions League final in furious outburst

Per Metal Sucks, Netherlands icon van Basten was left disgusted by Linkin Park's performance ahead of the Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan. Analysing the game for Ziggo Sport, the three-time Ballon d'Or winner claimed that it was a "disgrace" that the band were booked to play just minutes before the most important game in the European football calendar.

Van Basten not only seemed unmoved by the performance, but he also felt that the show served more as a distraction than anything else, particularly for the players taking to the field. PSG won the clash 5-0, being crowned champions of Europe as a result.

Van Basten told Ziggo Sport: “The Linkin Park performance was garbage, absolutely garbage.

“It’s a disgrace that UEFA allows this. I find it absolutely idiotic… Worthless, totally worthless.”

The European football season may be over but the Club World Cup looms. Whether a musical performance will accompany - or ruin, depending on your viewpoint - the final remains to be seen.
