PSG Trash Inter Milan 5-0 To Win First Champions League Title
Paris Saint-Germain have finally achieved their ultimate goal, lifting the Champions League trophy for the first time in the club’s history after a masterful 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in the final.
Luis Enrique’s side delivered a performance for the ages, completing a historic treble with a display of attacking football that left the Italian giants shell-shocked and unable to mount any meaningful resistance.
The French champions set the tone early, with Achraf Hakimi converting Désiré Doué’s cross just 12 minutes into the match. The Moroccan full-back’s clinical finish gave PSG the perfect start to what would become a memorable evening.
Young sensation Doué doubled the advantage eight minutes later when his deflected effort found the back of the net, putting the Parisians firmly in control before the half-hour mark. The 19-year-old’s impact didn’t end there – he went on to claim the spotlight with a standout individual performance.
Inter Milan, who had harboured hopes of securing their treble just weeks ago, offered little threat throughout the encounter. The Nerazzurri struggled to create meaningful chances and were repeatedly carved open by PSG’s fluid attacking play.
Doué completed his brace in the 63rd minute with a composed finish, coolly placing his shot into the bottom-right corner to effectively end any hopes of an Inter comeback. The French youngster’s performance epitomised PSG’s dominance on the grandest stage.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added further gloss to the scoreline 10 minutes later, racing in behind the Inter defence to beat goalkeeper Yann Sommer in a one-on-one situation. The Georgian winger’s pace and clinical finishing highlighted the depth of quality in Luis Enrique’s squad.
Substitute Warren Zaïre-Emery Mayulu rounded off the scoring four minutes from time with a beautifully worked team goal, capping off a night of pure footballing artistry from the Parisian outfit.
The statistics tell the story of PSG’s superiority – they created 3.23 expected goals from 23 attempts, while Inter managed just 0.49 expected goals from eight shots, underlining their struggles in both attack and defence.
This triumph represents the culmination of years of investment and ambition from PSG, who have long sought to conquer European football’s premier competition. Under Luis Enrique’s guidance, they have finally achieved their holy grail while completing a domestic and continental treble.
The celebrations won’t last long, however, as both teams prepare for the upcoming Club World Cup. PSG will face Atlético Madrid in their opening fixture, while Inter Milan will take on Monterrey as they look to salvage something from what has become a disappointing conclusion to their season.
For Inter, this defeat completes a dramatic fall from grace. Having been in contention for their treble just weeks ago, Simone Inzaghi’s side have now failed to secure any of the three major trophies they were competing for, raising questions about their ability to perform in the biggest moments.
As PSG lift their first Champions League trophy, European football has a new champion – one that has finally matched its financial ambition with on-field success on the continent’s biggest stage.
