Paris Saint-Germain have finally climbed to the summit of European football after demolishing Inter Milan 5-0 in the UEFA Champions League final at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
This landmark victory not only delivered the club’s first-ever Champions League title but also completed a historic treble for the Parisians, having already secured both Ligue 1 and the French Cup earlier this season.
The final was anything but a contest, with PSG asserting dominance from the first whistle. Inter Milan, making their second consecutive appearance in the final, were overwhelmed by PSG’s pace, cohesion, and clinical edge. The Italian side barely laid a glove on the French champions, who raced into an early lead and never looked back.

The floodgates opened in the 12th minute when Achraf Hakimi tapped in after an elegant setup from Desire Doue.
Doue, one of PSG’s standout performers, was instrumental throughout the night. The young forward added two goals of his own, and his involvement in the buildup play was as dazzling as it was decisive. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and teenage sensation Mayulu joined the scoresheet, ensuring that PSG secured the largest ever winning margin in a Champions League final, a feat that will go down in footballing history.
Inter Milan, by contrast, appeared to crumble under pressure, looking nothing like the side that narrowly lost to Manchester City just two seasons ago. Defensive lapses, poor coordination, and a lack of attacking edge summed up their dismal night.
The final few minutes were marked more by damage control than fightback, as PSG cruised through the final stretch with confidence and flair.
After the match, PSG midfielder Vitinha underlined the significance of the win, noting that the triumph was “not by magic” but a result of hard work, unity, and belief among the young squad. He highlighted the role of the fans, saying, “It means everything. It’s everyone’s dream. We are a great team, and we are very happy we did it like this.”

With this statement win, PSG have shattered the notion that they are perennial underachievers on the European stage.
After years of near misses and high-profile exits, the Qatari-backed project has finally borne fruit. The challenge now will be sustaining this success and defending their crown in a competition where staying on top is often harder than reaching it.
