No Mercy: PSG Crush Inter 5-0 in Champions League Final to Write New History

MUNICH, June 1, 2025 – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) finally fulfilled their long-standing dream by lifting the UEFA Champions League trophy for the first time in the club’s history. And they did it in brutal yet elegant fashion: dismantling Inter Milan 5-0 at Allianz Arena in a final that displayed tactical, physical, and mental superiority.

From the opening whistle, PSG applied relentless pressure and gave Inter Milan no space to breathe. In the 12th minute, Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring after a slick combination between Vitinha and Desire Doue. The goal struck a psychological blow to Inter, who immediately looked rattled under the intensity.

Just eight minutes later, PSG doubled their lead through a lightning-fast counterattack finished by Desire Doue. His shot deflected off an Inter defender, wrong-footing Yann Sommer and nestling into the net. At 2-0, PSG had already taken full control of the match.

PSG never slowed down. They dominated possession and pressed high, forcing Inter into countless errors. First-half stats showed PSG with 63% possession and 13 shots, while Inter failed to register a single shot on target.

In the second half, Inter attempted a more open approach, but it only exposed their backline further. On 63 minutes, Desire Doue scored his second goal, capitalizing on a brilliant backheel assist from Vitinha. His emotional celebration, removing his shirt, captured how much the moment meant for the young star.

The scoreline grew on 73 minutes when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made it 4-0. After receiving a pass from Ousmane Dembele, he rounded Sommer and calmly slotted the ball into an empty net. Inter had no response.

PSG even capped the night with a fifth goal, scored by young substitute Senny Mayulu just two minutes after coming on. From a tight angle, he found the back of the net to seal an unforgettable night for the Parisians.

Beyond their clinical attacking display, PSG’s defense was just as impressive. Gianluigi Donnarumma secured a crucial clean sheet in the final, with Inter failing to produce any real threat.

The match was also marked by an emotional moment when PSG supporters unveiled a giant tifo of coach Luis Enrique alongside his late daughter. A powerful tribute that reflected the deep emotional bond between the team, their manager, and the fans.

This victory not only marks a historic breakthrough for PSG but also sets a new record for the biggest win in a Champions League final. PSG are no longer just a domestic powerhouse; they are now a legitimate force in European football.

Paris finally had its night in Europe. And they made sure the whole world was watching.
