Paris Saint-Germain delivered a performance for the ages on Saturday night, claiming their first UEFA Champions League title in stunning fashion with a dominant 5-0 victory over Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
From the first whistle, Luis Enrique’s men took full control, launching a relentless attacking display that left the Italian side reeling. Former Inter defender Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute, finishing a slick team move that showcased PSG’s intent from the outset.
Just eight minutes later, 19-year-old Desire Doue doubled the advantage, capitalizing on Inter’s shaky defense and effectively ending their hopes early in the contest. Doue continued to shine, netting his second of the night shortly after the hour mark with a stunning solo goal that highlighted his elite potential.
Despite a few missed chances by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian star added PSG’s fourth in the 73rd minute, calmly slotting home and capping a superb attacking effort. The historic night was sealed when academy graduate Senny Mayulu added a fifth in the 86th minute, making it the largest margin of victory ever in a Champions League final.
PSG Cement Their Status Among Europe’s Elite
After years of falling short on the continental stage, PSG finally achieved their European dream. Following the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, many doubted the club’s ability to compete at the highest level. However, under Enrique’s leadership and with a younger, hungry squad, the Ligue 1 champions have redefined themselves as a force in European football.
With this historic triumph, PSG completed a flawless season, having already clinched their 13th domestic title. Their transformation—away from the star-studded era of Messi, Neymar, and Sergio Ramos—has seen them embrace a new generation of talent, with players like Doue, Kvaratskhelia, and Barcola leading the way.
Inzaghi’s Inter Crumble in Munich – Manager Exit Imminent?
For Inter Milan, the night in Munich was nothing short of disastrous. Coming off the disappointment of losing their Serie A crown to Napoli, the Nerazzurri were unable to regroup, falling apart on the biggest stage of all. Simone Inzaghi’s men were outclassed in every department, sparking speculation that the Champions League final may have been his last game in charge.
Despite leading Inter to two UCL finals in three years and guiding them to domestic success in 2023/24, sources suggest that Inzaghi has already lined up a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, with an official announcement expected soon.
Desire Doue Steals the Show on the Grandest Stage
While Ousmane Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia were expected to be PSG’s main threats, it was Desire Doue who emerged as the hero of the night. The 19-year-old sensation, who had not scored in his last eight outings before the final, stunned fans with two goals and a dynamic performance that terrorized Inter’s backline—especially Federico Dimarco.
Doue’s double makes him the first player to score a brace in a Champions League final since Gareth Bale in 2018. With 31 goal contributions across all competitions this season, the former Rennes prodigy has announced himself on the biggest stage and secured his place in PSG history.
