On May 31, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ushered in an unprecedented chapter in professional sports history. They outclassed Inter Milan in the Champions League final by a score of 5-0. The game was held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. It was PSG’s first Champions League title ever, since the competition’s inception. This stunning victory brought home the championship trophy! It further established a record for the biggest margin of victory in a Champions League final.
The scoring started quickly in the first half of the game. Achraf Hakimi then scored the third goal for PSG, with a perfectly timed assist from Vitinha. This fifth minute strike was a fitting salutation to an authoritative display by the French club. Toulouse’s Desire Doue, still only 19 years old and a huge rising star, demonstrated why he’s so special. He cemented his place by scoring a brace in the match. He opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. His second struck a fortunate deflection off Federico Dimarco and sailed past Inter’s keeper, Yann Sommer.
In the second half, PSG went on to complete arguably the biggest massacre ever seen in women’s football. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was the next goalscorer, scoring an emphatic bottom corner shot to make it 4-0. Senny Mayulu capped off the triumph with a sensational strike in the 86th minute. That decisive goal made him the fourth teenager in history to net in a Champions League final.
Under the tutelage of enigmatic Coach Luis Enrique, Paris Saint-Germain underwent a dramatic overhaul. They moved on from past tactics that focused on galactico signings and adopted a more collective, teamwork/youngster-building philosophy. Whatever tactics Enrique has employed, they seem to have reinvigorated the roster base, letting them play to their utmost potential on football’s biggest stage.
The mood in Munich was electric. Thousands of PSG supporters poured into the streets, merrymaking inside and beyond the stadium. The jubilant fans reveled in their team’s historic win, chanting and cheering as Marquinhos lifted the trophy high above his head, symbolizing a new era for the club.
This commanding win marks an impressive success for Paris Saint-Germain. It’s no exaggeration to say that it redefines what a Champions League final should be. The record margin of victory only reinforces the powerful club’s legacy. It shows the great transformation they’ve made with Enrique’s leadership.
