Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured their maiden UEFA Champions League trophy on Saturday with a stunning 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. This emphatic win marks the largest margin of victory ever recorded in a Champions League final since the tournament’s inception in 1956.
PSG dominated from the outset, with Achraf Hakimi opening the scoring in the 12th minute against his former club. The French champions quickly asserted control, with 19-year-old Désiré Doué scoring twice, becoming the first teenager since Eusebio in 1962 to net a brace in a final. Midfielder Vitinha and winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also contributed to the commanding lead before substitute Senny Mayulu capped the rout with a fifth goal.
This triumph completes a historic treble for PSG, having already won Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France this season. The victory is particularly notable as it comes in PSG’s first campaign without a global superstar like Kylian Mbappé, who departed for Real Madrid last summer.
Coach Luis Enrique celebrated his second Champions League title, having previously led Barcelona to glory in 2015. PSG’s success also makes them only the second French club to lift Europe’s premier club trophy, following Olympique Marseille’s 1993 win.
The match was a showcase of young talent and tactical mastery, with PSG’s aggressive pressing and swift counterattacks leaving Inter Milan overwhelmed and unable to mount a response.
