Paris Saint-Germain has made history by winning their first-ever UEFA Champions League title after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the final played on Saturday, June 1, 2025.
The French champions dominated the match from start to finish, with Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue scoring within the opening 20 minutes to give PSG a comfortable early lead.
Doue added his second goal just after the hour mark to put the result beyond doubt, while late strikes from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and substitute Senny Mayulu completed the rout in what will be remembered as one of the most one-sided Champions League finals in history.
Former PSG star Kylian Mbappe, who left the club for Real Madrid last summer, took to social media to congratulate his former teammates on their historic achievement.
"The big day has finally arrived, Victory and with the manner of a whole club, Congratulations, PSG," Mbappe wrote.
Vindication for Luis Enrique's Vision
The emphatic victory represents a significant vindication for PSG manager Luis Enrique, who made the bold decision to rebuild the team after the departures of star players Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar.
Enrique placed his faith in a younger squad, a strategy that has now delivered the prestigious European trophy that had eluded the Qatari-owned club since their takeover in 2011.
Hakimi's opening goal was particularly noteworthy as he made history by becoming the first Moroccan player to score in a Champions League final.
For Inter Milan, the defeat marks a disappointing end to their European campaign, having reached the final for the second time in recent years after their 2023 appearance against Manchester City.
PSG's triumph caps off a remarkable season for French football in European competitions and establishes the club among the elite winners of football's most coveted club trophy.
