Crushing Champions League Finals: The Biggest Thrashings in History
Whenever the Champions League final rolls around, fans eagerly anticipate a gripping battle between the two best teams in Europe. However, history has shown us that sometimes, these contests turn into one-sided routs. Let's delve into the most significant victories that have left the opposition shell-shocked.
🏆 PSG 5-0 "Inter" (2024/25)Initially, fans hoped for a nail-biting encounter, but instead, they were treated to a demolition job. Young talent Desire Doué bagged a brace and provided an assist, etching his name in history as the first player to achieve three goal contributions in a Champions League final. Hvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Meïli further cemented the win, earning PSG their first European title.
🏆 AC Milan 4-0 "Barcelona" (1993/94)Despite the stacked lineup featuring legends like Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola, an injury-riddled "Barcelona" struggled against a resolute "Milan." Daniel Massaro's brace, Dejan Savićević's masterful goal, and Marcel Desailly's strike culminated in the most lopsided win in Champions League history—until the recent PSG victory.
🏆 Real Madrid 4-1 "Juventus" (2016/17)Cristiano Ronaldo led the assault, scoring twice, while Casemiro and Marco Asensio completed the rout. This final saw "Real" become the first club to retain the title in the Champions League era.
🏆 Porto 3-0 "Monaco" (2003/04)José Mourinho masterminded an unchallenged victory for "Porto," with Carlos Alberto, Deco, and Dmitri Alenichev finding the back of the net.
🏆 Real Madrid 3-0 "Valencia" (1999/00)In the inaugural Spanish Champions League final, "Real" triumphed thanks to Morientes, McManaman, and Raúl's goals.
PSG's latest triumph has etched a new record in the Champions League annals, which may be a tough one to surpass. Could a six-goal win be on the horizon in the future? Only time will tell.
