French President Emmanuel Macron will host Paris Saint-Germain’s triumphant squad at the Élysée Palace on Sunday to celebrate their historic 5–0 victory over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final, a win that secured the club’s first-ever European title.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Macron hailed the momentous achievement as a “day of glory for PSG.” He added, “Bravo, we are all proud. Paris is the capital of Europe tonight.”
The emphatic victory at Munich’s Allianz Arena was led by teenage sensation Désiré Doué, who scored twice and assisted the opener for Achraf Hakimi.
The Parisians went 2–0 up within 20 minutes before Vitinha, Kvaratskhelia, and 19-year-old substitute Senny Mayulu rounded off the most one-sided final in the competition’s 70-year history.
PSG’s success marks the first time a French club has lifted the Champions League trophy since Marseille’s triumph in 1993. The team’s dominant performance, youthful core, and cohesive tactics under coach Luis Enrique signal a new era not just for the club, but for French football at large.
