Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) clinched their first-ever UEFA Champions League title after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich to record the biggest winning margin in the history of the final
.
In what will go down as the most one-sided Champions League final, Luis Enrique’s PSG side produced a dominant display at the Allianz Arena, completing a historic continental treble after already securing the Ligue 1 title and Coupe de France.
PSG knocked out Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal en route to the final, but they carried the weight of history with calm authority and ruthless precision.
Teenage sensation Désiré Doué was the standout performer, scoring twice and assisting the opener for Achraf Hakimi. Doué’s first contribution came in the 12th minute, feeding Hakimi, who side-footed home the opener.
Eight minutes later, Doué himself doubled the lead with a deflected strike following a rapid counterattack sparked by defender Willian Pacho.
The 19-year-old added his second and PSG’s third after a dynamic run by Vitinha, who combined with Ousmane Dembélé before setting up Doué for a precise finish.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made it 4-0 with a brilliant low strike, before 19-year-old substitute Senny Mayulu capped off the historic night by finishing off a slick team move to seal the scoreline.
The Qatari-owned club became only the second French side after Olympique Marseille in 1993 to win Europe’s most prestigious club competition, finally delivering on years of heavy investment and lofty ambition.
