Munich, Germany – Paris Saint-Germain have been crowned UEFA Champions League winners for the first time in their history after a stunning 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The victory not only secured their long-awaited European crown but also set a new record for the biggest winning margin in a Champions League final.
From the opening whistle, PSG dominated proceedings with confidence and flair, asserting control early on. Their breakthrough came swiftly as Vitinha sliced open the Inter defense with a perfectly weighted pass to Désiré Doué, who squared the ball to Achraf Hakimi for a simple tap-in. The Parisians continued their relentless pace, and just ten minutes later, they doubled their advantage.
Defender Willian Pacho displayed quick thinking to keep the ball in play and launched a counter-attack that eventually saw Doué’s effort deflect off Federico Dimarco—unlucky yet again after playing Doué onside for the opening goal. It was a nightmare first half for Inter’s left wing-back, who struggled to contain PSG’s explosive attack.
Despite growing into the game midway through the first half, Inter’s best chance came from Marcus Thuram, who failed to hit the target with a header following a corner. PSG, however, remained in control, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia came close to adding a third before the break.
The Georgian winger remained dangerous after the restart, missing two early chances but continuing to torment Inter’s defense. Just after the hour mark, Doué struck again, calmly slotting home to make it 3-0 and effectively seal the victory for the French giants.
With the result all but confirmed, Doué was substituted for Bradley Barcola, highlighting the depth and quality of PSG’s bench. Barcola nearly made it four within minutes but fired over the bar. Kvaratskhelia eventually got the goal his electric performance deserved, making it 4-0 with less than 20 minutes to play.
The final blow came in the 85th minute as PSG’s youth academy graduate Senny Mayulu capped off the night with the fifth and final goal, etching his name into club history and ensuring a record-breaking triumph on the grandest stage.
Inter Milan, meanwhile, struggled to muster any real response. Their sole effort on target came in the 75th minute through Marcus Thuram, easily handled by Gianluigi Donnarumma, who enjoyed a quiet night between the posts.
The victory marked a turning point for PSG, whose previous squads boasted megastars like Zlatan Ibrahimović, Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé. With Mbappé now at Real Madrid, manager Luis Enrique has successfully ushered in a new era built on youth, tactical discipline, and collective strength.
This Champions League title is Enrique’s second—coming a decade after his first with Barcelona—and under his leadership, PSG have now completed a historic European treble. The Spaniard’s philosophy has transformed PSG into a cohesive, pressing unit capable of dismantling even the most formidable opponents.
As Paris celebrates its new European kings, one thing is clear: this PSG side is only just beginning its reign. The era of superstars has given way to a team that plays as one—and the rest of Europe should take notice.
