PSG Makes History with Record 5-0 Victory Over Inter Milan to Win First UEFA Champions League Title

Paris, June 1, 2025 — Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) clinched their maiden UEFA Champions League crown in emphatic style, overwhelming Inter Milan 5-0 in the final at Munich’s Allianz Arena on Saturday. The French champions delivered a dominant display, setting a new record for the largest winning margin in a European Cup final and completing a historic continental treble.

Early Domination Sets the Tone

PSG seized control from the outset, with Achraf Hakimi opening the scoring in the 12th minute against his former club. Just seven minutes later, 19-year-old Désiré Doué doubled the lead with a composed finish, before adding his second goal in the 63rd minute, becoming the youngest player since Benfica’s Eusebio in 1962 to score twice in a Champions League final. By halftime, PSG had registered 12 shots to Inter’s two, underlining their attacking intent.

Second-Half Brilliance and Record Margin

Inter Milan, unable to match PSG’s intensity, struggled to create clear chances. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a fourth goal in the 73rd minute following a swift counterattack, and substitute Senny Mayulu capped the rout with a goal four minutes from time. PSG’s high-pressing, fluid attack, and defensive solidity left Inter with no path back into the match.

Historic Achievements and Team Transformation

This victory marks PSG’s first Champions League title and only the second by a French club, following Marseille’s 1993 triumph. It also represents the first time a French club has completed the treble, having already secured Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France this season. Coach Luis Enrique, who previously won the Champions League with Barcelona, becomes just the second manager to win the treble twice with different clubs.

Remarkably, PSG’s triumph comes in their first season since the departure of superstar Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid. The club’s recent shift from signing global superstars to focusing on young, dynamic talents paid off spectacularly, with teenagers like Doué and Mayulu starring on the biggest stage.

Celebrations and Next Steps

Fans and players celebrated long into the night, with midfielder Vitinha declaring, “It means everything! The fans are the main reason we wanted to win this trophy. It’s our dream, it’s everyone’s dream. The team is very good, and the result is not by magic”.

With this victory, PSG earns the right to face Tottenham Hotspur, winners of the UEFA Europa League, in the UEFA Super Cup in August, and will represent Europe at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
