Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has chased UEFA Champions League (UCL) glory for years. On a historic night in Europe, that dream finally became a reality. With a stunning 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in the final, PSG lifted their first-ever UCL title and delivered one of the most dominant performances in final history.
Désiré Doué: The Star that Shone Brightest
On the grandest stage of European football, it was Désiré Doué who wrote his name into the annals of PSG and UCL history. From the moment Vitinha intentionally kicked the ball out to reset the tempo, PSG were in control. Just 12 minutes in, Doué set up Achraf Hakimi against his former club. Eight minutes later, he turned scorer, his deflected strike doubling the lead.
Doué wasn’t done yet. With calm precision and unmatched awareness, he netted his second and PSG’s third, converting another clever ball from Vitinha. By the time he left the pitch, the 19-year-old had sealed his place among football’s brightest rising stars.
Inter Milan’s Misery and Missed Chances
For Inter Milan, it was a night of frustration and disappointment. Despite efforts from Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram on set-pieces, they couldn’t find a breakthrough. Even after tactical changes by Simone Inzaghi and attempts by Kvaratskhelia, the Italian side remained locked out by a resolute PSG side.
Injuries and disarray compounded their woes. Yann Bisseck had to leave the pitch shortly after coming on, and Lautaro Martínez collided with his teammate in their only real chance of hope. The night only got darker as PSG kept piling on the goals.
Georgian Glory and French Dominance
Ousmane Dembélé, instrumental throughout, set up Kvaratskhelia, who calmly slotted home to become the first-ever Georgian to score in a Champions League final. It was a fitting representation of how global PSG’s squad and ambitions have become.
Then came the cherry on top. PSG’s teenage sensation, Senny Mayulu, played a sleek one-two with Barcola and rifled home the fifth off the post. The crowd erupted, as history was made with the first five-goal margin in UCL final history.
Historic Achievements and Records Shattered
This win didn’t just secure a maiden UCL title for PSG. It marked the first UCL win by a French side since Olympique de Marseille in 1993. More remarkably, PSG completed their first-ever quadruple: Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophee des Champions, and now, the UEFA Champions League.
For Inter Milan, the defeat capped a trophy-less season, their second UCL final loss in just three years, despite high expectations at the start of the campaign.
