It was a night of triumph and a secured treble for Paris Saint-Germain as they hammered Inter 5-0 in the Champions League final, claiming their first-ever title. The long and arduous journey, marked by years of near-misses and significant investment since 2011, finally culminated in this spectacular triumph, proving that the 13th attempt was indeed lucky.
Luis Enrique’s team was simply unstoppable, tearing into Inter from the first whistle with an intensity and precision that left the Italian side reeling. The sensational 19-year-old Désiré Doué was a key figure, scoring two crucial goals before halftime that effectively put the game out of reach and showcased his immense talent.
The scoring continued relentlessly in the second half, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia adding a fourth and fellow teenager Senny Mayulu completing the historic 5-0 rout. This devastating defeat for Inter, who had harbored treble ambitions and sought redemption, marked a crushing end to their season, leaving them utterly dejected.
The emotional celebrations that followed, including a poignant tribute to Luis Enrique’s late daughter, highlighted the depth of feeling surrounding this victory. PSG’s tactical brilliance, characterized by their fluid positional play, aggressive press, and clinical finishing, cemented their status as the rightful champions of Europe.
