Munich, Germany – May 31, 2025 – The Allianz Arena in Munich witnessed a footballing masterclass as Paris Saint-Germain etched their name into history, securing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a resounding 5-0 victory over Italian giants Inter Milan.

From the first whistle, PSG showcased an intensity and attacking prowess that left Inter Milan’s renowned defense reeling. The Parisian machine, driven by a blend of youthful exuberance and seasoned talent, wasted no time in asserting their authority. The opening goal came courtesy of Achraf Hakimi in the 12th minute, a poignant moment for the former Inter man who respectfully muted his celebration.

However, the night truly belonged to the sensational Désiré Doué. The 19-year-old French prodigy was the undisputed Man of the Match, netting two goals and assisting another. His first, an opportunistic strike that deflected past Yann Sommer, doubled PSG’s lead, and his second, a clinical finish in the 63rd minute, all but sealed Inter’s fate. Doué’s electric performance highlighted PSG’s successful transition from a reliance on individual superstars to a cohesive, fluid team unit.

As Inter desperately sought a way back into the game, PSG continued to pour forward. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a fourth goal, further cementing the Parisians’ overwhelming superiority, before substitute Senny Mayulu, another teenage sensation, completed the rout with a late strike, making it a staggering 5-0 – the largest winning margin in a Champions League final in the competition’s 69-year history.

For Paris Saint-Germain, this victory is the culmination of a long and often frustrating journey. Years of heavy investment and near-misses in Europe’s premier club competition had built immense pressure, but under Luis Enrique, the team found a new equilibrium. This triumph not only marks their maiden Champions League title but also caps off a truly historic season, seeing them achieve a continental treble alongside their Ligue 1 and Coupe de France triumphs.

Inter Milan, who displayed resilience throughout their Champions League campaign, including a hard-fought semi-final victory over Barcelona, ultimately had no answer to PSG’s relentless attack and tactical brilliance. While the defeat is a bitter pill to swallow, they can look back at a season of strong domestic performance and a commendable run to the final.
