PSG Crushes Inter Milan to Capture Historic First Champions League Trophy
What a night in Munich — one that Paris Saint-Germain fans will never forget. After years of heartbreak, near-misses, and astronomical spending, PSG has finally secured the UEFA Champions League title, and in emphatic style. With a dazzling 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in the final, the French powerhouse delivered a performance for the ages and lifted the coveted trophy for the very first time in club history.
It was a long time coming. For over a decade, PSG has been synonymous with glamour, marquee signings, and sky-high expectations. Neymar, Messi, Mbappé — all brought in to bring this title home. Yet none of them could finish the job. But now, under Luis Enrique, PSG has not just won — they’ve redefined themselves in the process. No longer just a collection of stars, this is a team in the truest sense.

From the first whistle, PSG were relentless. Within 12 minutes, Vitinha slipped a perfect pass to Doué, who unselfishly fed Hakimi for the opener. Minutes later, a deflected strike doubled the lead. The Allianz Arena, where PSG once lost to Bayern in the 2020 final, erupted with joy this time as Kvaratskhelia and substitute Mayulu — another teenager — added to the scoreline.
Luis Enrique, who now joins an elite club of managers to have won the Champions League with two different teams, orchestrated a tactical masterclass. He’s now guided PSG to a historic treble: Ligue 1, the French Cup, and finally the Champions League.
For captain Marquinhos, who has seen the ups and downs of PSG’s European journey, this was the emotional climax. Tears, confetti, fireworks — it was everything the club had dreamed of when Qatar Sports Investments took over in 2011.
But amid the celebration, there’s still a complicated legacy. While this win is a triumph of coaching, youth, and cohesion, PSG remains one of the most expensively built squads in world football. This isn’t a story of underdogs — it’s one of financial might finally aligning with footballing execution.
Still, on this night, few in Paris will care. The ghosts of past failures have been exorcised. PSG has arrived — not as flashy outsiders, but as true kings of Europe. And maybe, just maybe, this is only the beginning.
