PSG Destroy Inter Milan to Claim First Ever Champions League Trophy
You don’t see a 5-0 scoreline in a Champions League final, ever. But on May 31, 2025, in Munich, Paris Saint-Germain threw out the usual script and took a giant sledgehammer to it, blitzing Inter Milan to finally lift the trophy that’s always slipped from their grasp. This was more than just a win. This was domination, humiliation, and the coming-out party for a new era at PSG.
It started early. Achraf Hakimi, lining up against his old club, looked like a man with something to prove. He made it 1-0 before Inter fans could even find their seats. From there, PSG pressed constantly, looking like they had an extra man everywhere on the pitch. Inter, usually so organized under Simone Inzaghi, were chasing shadows.
Désiré Doué stole the show. A rising 19-year-old who’s been getting whispers as France’s next big midfield star, Doué made Munich his stage. First came a calm, precise finish just before halftime to double PSG’s lead. But it was his second—a thunderous strike from outside the box in the 64th minute—that left even neutral viewers gasping. That one was pure highlight-reel stuff, confirming his soaring 9.5 player rating and likely making him hot gossip in every newspaper back home.
Next up was Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, who added a fourth goal with his signature tricky dribble and low shot, making Inter’s defenders look like traffic cones. Those already celebrating in the PSG end barely had time to settle before Senny Mayulu, a late substitute and another youngster, banged in a fifth to officially turn the night into a parade.
Dembélé's Influence and Enrique’s Place in History
While the scoreboard lit up with goals, Ousmane Dembélé turned the midfield into his personal playground. He never found the back of the net, but nobody seemed to care. Inter couldn’t get near him—he picked up a cool 8.5 rating for his silky combinations, quick feet, and constant threat. Every attack seemed to start with him gliding past rivals or threading passes the defense didn’t see coming.
For PSG, this is the stuff of dreams—a first European Cup to stuff into a trophy cabinet already swollen with Ligue 1 and Coupe de France glory. It’s not the usual one-off glory either: this is a treble, and that’s a club milestone that won’t fade fast. For coach Luis Enrique, this wasn’t just redemption since his exit from Barcelona; it was his second treble, an achievement that puts him in the rarest company.
On the other end, Inter Milan will want to forget this as fast as possible. For all the work to reach another Champions League final, this loss stings even harder than their defeat two seasons ago. They rarely tested Gianluigi Donnarumma in the PSG goal, and looked unrecognizable from the hungry side that fought through the knockout rounds.
PSG fans erupted into celebration in Munich and back in Paris, singing into the warm night and dreaming about how far this side can still go. For the players, especially Doué and Dembélé, this could be just the start of something even bigger. One thing is clear after a night like this: the conversation around European football has changed, and PSG just flipped the script for good.
