Munich, Germany – May 31, 2025 – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has finally conquered Europe, securing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a commanding 5-0 victory over Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena. The French giants, long haunted by near misses in previous campaigns, delivered a flawless performance to etch their name in football history.

A Night of Dominance

From the opening whistle, PSG showcased their tactical superiority, pressing high and controlling possession. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute, striking against his former club with precision. The early goal set the tone for what would become a record-breaking final.

Teen sensation Désiré Doué doubled PSG’s lead in the 20th minute, capitalizing on a swift counterattack orchestrated by Ousmane Dembélé. Doué struck again in the 60th minute, becoming the first teenager since Eusébio in 1962 to score twice in a Champions League final.

As Inter Milan struggled to respond, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia extended PSG’s lead in the 73rd minute, followed by Senny Mayulu sealing the victory in the 87th minute. The emphatic win marked the biggest margin of victory in a Champions League final since the competition’s inception in 1956.

Luis Enrique’s Tactical Masterclass

PSG’s triumph is a testament to Luis Enrique’s strategic overhaul. The Spanish manager, who previously led Barcelona to Champions League glory in 2015, transformed PSG into a cohesive unit, emphasizing youth development and tactical discipline.

“This victory is for the fans, for Paris, and for everyone who believed in us,” Enrique said post-match. “We built a team, not just a collection of stars, and tonight, that team made history.”

Celebrations and Fallout

The victory sparked wild celebrations across Paris, with thousands of fans flooding the streets. However, the festivities were marred by incidents, including over 500 arrests and reports of injuries during chaotic celebrations.

PSG captain Marquinhos, who has been with the club since 2013, dedicated the win to former players like Thiago Silva and Neymar, acknowledging their contributions to PSG’s journey.

The Road Ahead 

With the Champions League trophy finally in their grasp, PSG now sets its sights on the Club World Cup, where they will compete against the best teams from across the globe. The victory also cements PSG’s status as a European powerhouse, ending years of heartbreak and near misses.
