"Paris outperforms Inter, snatching Henkelpott in the opening act"
Party in Munich: PSG Makes History with 5-0 Champions League Wipeout
Turn the lights on low, confetti shooting high
The Allianz Arena was lit up on May 31, 2025, as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) stormed to an historic first UEFA Champions League victory with a thrashing of Inter Milan. The night belonged to the French titans, who motored to a 5-0 triumph, marking the largest margin of victory ever in a Champions League final.
Led by teen phenom Desire Doue and ably supported by former Borussia Dortmund teammates Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi, PSG put on a masterclass in dominance against a shell-shocked Inter Milan side.
Energy and Brilliance
Boasting an average age of just 23 years, one of the youngest squads in the competition, PSG demonstrated a pace and mobility that the elderly Inter Milan, with an average age of 29, simply couldn't match. With Doue, Dembele and Hakimi turning in stellar performances, Inter's defense crumbled under the pressure.
Tactical Mastery
From the outset, PSG picked up where they left off in their previous matches. The team established a relentless pressure, winning possession and dictating the tempo. As the third goal crossed the line, Inter's morale disintegrated before their very eyes.
Marquinhos, the team's captain, lifted the championship trophy in an emotional moment for the club. Together, they'd made history and had set their sights on a new era.
Enrique's Revival
Luis Enrique, the now seven-time European Cup-winning coach, orchestrated the team's success with vision, renewal, and a focus on youthful energy. He masterfully managed the squad and employed a possession-based, dynamic style of play that left opponents in awe.
In a touching tribute to his late daughter, Enrique led the squad with a "Together, we are invincible" tifo that encapsulated the unity and determination within the team.
Inter's Inferno
On the opposite side, Inter found themselves outmatched, outpaced, and in walks with fire. The Milan side struggled to keep up with PSG, and even their usually unbeatable defense crumbled under the French onslaught. Eventually, Enrique's team reveled in the final, having fulfilled their coach's demand for "fun."
Despite the lopsided result, Inter Manager Simone Inzaghi had no choice but to take his medicine, perhaps aiming to rebuild and challenge for glory once more in the years to come.
The Allianz Arena resounded with cheers as PSG made a triumphant entry into the European leagues, aiming to conquer the Champions League.
History was made on May 31, 2025, as PSG secured their first UEFA Champions League title, completing their dominance with a breathtaking 5-0 victory, marking a record victory margin in the Champions League final.
