<p>Per <a href="https://www.metalsucks.net/2025/06/02/ex-soccer-star-calls-out-uefa-for-booking-linkin-park-calls-the-show-garbage/" target="_blank">Metal Sucks</a>, 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. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>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. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/psg-player-ratings-vs-inter-champions-league-final-desire-doue-achraf-hakimi-khvicha-kvaratskhelia/blt24794f494c5999b3" target="_blank">PSG won the clash 5-0</a>, being crowned champions of Europe as a result.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Van Basten told Ziggo Sport: “The Linkin Park performance was garbage, absolutely garbage. </p><p>“It’s a disgrace that UEFA allows this. I find it absolutely idiotic… Worthless, totally worthless.”</p>

WHAT VAN BASTEN SAID

<p>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. </p>
