Paris Saint-Germain finally reached European football’s peak with a stunning 5–0 demolition of Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, sealing their maiden title in unforgettable fashion at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
Teenager Désiré Doué delivered a breathtaking performance, scoring twice and assisting once as Luis Enrique’s vibrant PSG side handed Inter Milan the heaviest defeat ever seen in a Champions League or European Cup final.
The rout began in the 12th minute when Achraf Hakimi, playing against his former club, tapped home after a fluid move initiated by Vitinha and Doué. The 19-year-old turned finisher in the 20th minute, doubling the lead with a deflected shot following a swift counterattack.
PSG’s dominance continued into the second half. Doué added a third in the 63rd minute, firing in at the near post after being set up by Vitinha once again. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and substitute Senny Mayulu capped off the historic night with goals in the 73rd and 86th minutes, respectively.
Inter, flat and overwhelmed, had no response. Marcus Thuram’s first-half header was their only glimpse at goal, while their defence crumbled under PSG’s relentless pressure.
For PSG, this emphatic victory represents the crowning achievement of over a decade of Qatari investment and strategic squad-building, especially following the departure of Kylian Mbappé. It also marks a second Champions League title for coach Luis Enrique, who previously won the trophy with Barcelona in 2015.
PSG becomes only the second French club to lift the European crown, following Marseille’s 1993 triumph. With a league and cup double already secured, this treble-winning campaign confirms the arrival of a new force in European football.
