MUNICH – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are European champions for the very first time. They demolished Inter Milan 5-0 in a stunning Champions League final at Munich’s Allianz Arena. This historic PSG Champions League win also capped a phenomenal season, securing a coveted treble alongside their Ligue 1 title and French Cup.
The Paris giants were relentless from the first whistle. Achraf Hakimi, in a poignant clash against his old club, coolly slotted home the opener, thanks to a smart assist from 19-year-old sensation Desire Doue. “It was a special moment for me, but I had to respect the badge I once wore,” Hakimi said, explaining his muted celebration. Just eight minutes later, the dynamic Doue turned scorer, his deflected shot finding the net after a rapid counter-attack led by Ousmane Dembélé. Inter Milan struggled to find their footing, their best first-half effort a tame Marcus Thuram header, as PSG’s dominance hinted at a historic night unfolding.
Teenager Doue Lights Up PSG Champions League Win
The second half saw Desire Doue etch his name into Champions League folklore. The 19-year-old netted his second with remarkable composure, gliding the ball past Inter’s Yann Sommer to make it 3-0. “I’ve dreamed of this moment since I was a kid,” a beaming Doue shared post-match. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi tried to shake things up with a raft of substitutions, but PSG’s momentum was unstoppable. The PSG Champions League win was becoming a masterclass, with young Doue at its heart.
Record Rout Seals Historic Treble
The goals kept coming. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, after an earlier miss, made no mistake with a firm header to stretch the lead to four, leaving the Italian side visibly reeling. For Inter Milan, it was a second straight Champions League final heartbreak, a painful repeat but without the same competitive spark. As the final whistle approached, another 19-year-old substitute, Senny Mayulu, added the fifth goal with just his second touch on the ball. This completed the rout, marking the largest margin of victory ever seen in a Champions League final. This dominant PSG Champions League win was truly one for the ages.
“This is not just a win—it’s a legacy,” declared PSG manager Luis Enrique. As fireworks lit up the Munich sky, PSG’s blend of global superstars and exciting new talents delivered a performance that will be talked about for years, a truly dominant chapter in European football history.
