The crowning moment arrived for Paris Saint-Germain as they delivered a stunning 5-0 triumph over Inter in the Champions League final, securing their first-ever title. After years of agonizing near-misses and significant investment, the French champions finally delivered on their ultimate ambition, proving that the 13th time was indeed the charm.
From the very first whistle, Luis Enrique’s “swashbuckling” side displayed an unmatched intensity and tactical brilliance, leaving Inter completely overwhelmed. The youthful sensation Désiré Doué was instrumental in their early dominance, bagging a brace before halftime that effectively put the game out of reach and showcased his immense talent.
The goals continued to flow in the second half, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia adding a fourth and substitute Senny Mayulu completing the unprecedented 5-0 scoreline. This devastating defeat marked the widest margin in a Champions League final, leaving Inter shattered and without any silverware, a bitter end to a season that had promised so much.
The emotional celebrations that followed, including a poignant tribute to Luis Enrique’s late daughter, highlighted the depth of feeling surrounding this victory. PSG’s fluid positional play, aggressive press, and clinical finishing underlined their status as truly deserving champions of Europe.
