Paris Saint Germain (PSG) etched their name into football history on Saturday, May 31, 2025, by clinching their first ever UEFA Champions League title with a commanding 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan at Munich’s Allianz Arena. In a match that will be remembered for its sheer dominance, PSG delivered a masterclass performance by overwhelming Inter Milan with a blend of youthful exuberance and tactical precision. The victory not only secured PSG’s maiden Champions League title but also marked the largest winning margin in a Champions League final since the competition’s inception in 1955.
Central to PSG’s triumph was 19 year-old midfielder Désiré Doué, who dazzled with two goals and an assist as he earned the Man of the Match accolade. His performance emphasized PSG’s successful investment in nurturing young talent. The scoring commenced early with former Inter defender Achraf Hakimi netting the opener in the 12th minute. Doué followed with goals in the 20th and 63rd minutes. Georgian winger, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a fourth in the 73rd minute, and 18-year-old substitute Senny Mayulu completed the rout in the 86th minute.
Manager Luis Enrique’s strategic acumen was evident throughout the match. His ability to unify a diverse squad into a cohesive unit was instrumental in PSG’s success. Enrique’s leadership culminated in PSG achieving a historic continental treble, having already secured the Ligue 1 and Coupe de France titles earlier in the season. The victory held personal significance for Enrique, who paid an emotional tribute to his late daughter, Xana, who passed away from cancer in 2019. Wearing a T-shirt featuring an illustration of Xana planting a PSG flag, Enrique expressed that although Xana is not physically present, she remains a constant spiritual presence in his life.
With this monumental victory PSG not only joins the elite ranks of European football but also sets the stage for future successes. As winners, PSG earned the right to play against Tottenham Hotspur, winners of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup and automatically qualified for the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup.
