Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) delivered a masterclass performance to demolish Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final on Saturday night in Munich, securing their first-ever title in Europe's premier club competition.
The French champions dominated proceedings from the opening whistle, taking an early lead in the 13th minute when Achraf Hakimi found space in the penalty area to convert a precise low cross from Desire Doue.
PSG doubled their advantage just seven minutes later when Doue's effort took a deflection off Inter defender Di Marco, wrong-footing the goalkeeper and finding the back of the net.
The young winger Doue wasn't finished, adding a third goal with a composed finish that effectively ended Inter's hopes of a comeback. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Mayulu completed the rout with two more goals, capping off what was truly a five-star performance from the Parisians.
Historic Achievement for Luis Enrique
The victory marks a significant milestone for PSG manager Luis Enrique, who has now achieved his second treble as a manager, having previously accomplished the feat with Barcelona. Under his guidance, PSG have now secured the Ligue 1 title, domestic cup, and the coveted Champions League trophy in a single season.
Hakimi's opening goal was particularly noteworthy as it made history, though the specific record was not detailed in the source material.
The triumph represents the culmination of PSG's long-standing ambition to conquer Europe, following years of substantial investment in world-class talent. Despite previously reaching the final in 2020, where they lost to Bayern Munich, this comprehensive victory finally delivers the trophy that has eluded the Qatari-owned club since their takeover in 2011.
For Inter Milan, the defeat marks a disappointing end to their Champions League campaign, as the Italian side struggled to contain PSG's attacking prowess throughout the match.
