Taking the UEFA Champions League by Storm: Paris Razes Inter, Claims the Trophy
*
Under the moonlit sky of Munich, the ecstatic Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) crew, steered by the prodigious force of Désiré Doué, celebrated the end of a remarkable night. On June 1, 2025, they made UEFA Champions League history by humiliating Inter Milan and securing their long-anticipated triumph.
In this remarkable victory, the young 19-year-old wasn't alone. Ex-Dortmund players Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé added brilliant performances to the unexpectedly one-sided final bout in Munich, leading to the highest-ever victory in Europe's premier football competition.
Doué, with his electrifying display, exclaimed, "This is indescribable. Achieving my ultimate dream – in my rookie season. We've carved our name in history, and this is just the beginning." Coach Luis Enrique and Captain Marquinhos reverently touched the gleaming trophy during the presentation.
Luis Enrique in the Spotlight
At the heart of the revelry was Coach Luis Enrique, who was lifted into the air by his players and danced exuberantly on the Munich pitch. Decades after triumphing with Barcelona, the charismatic Spanish coach has once again ascended to the pinnacle of European football. A poignant tribute to his daughter, who was battling bone cancer and witnessed his last triumph before her tragic demise, adorned his jersey.
With an astounding 5-goal margin - the last time AC Milan won 4-0 against Barcelona in 1994 - Inter's goalkeeper Yann Sommer's return to Munich was a disheartening sight.
An Early Shocker Sets the Pace
Hakimi's strike (12th minute) and Doué's (20th minute), both engineered by Dembélé, shocked Inter, who had previously beaten Bayern in the prior year. No team had ever fallen 2-0 down in a Champions League final so early. Sommer and Pavard couldn't provide the requisite support for their team. Making matters worse, substitute Yann Aurel Bisseck, who replaced Pavard in the 54th minute, was forced to leave due to injury just eight minutes later.
The second half saw Inter's fortunes worsen. Doué's double strike (63rd minute) sealed the lead, breaking records as the youngest player to score and assist in a Champions League final. Kvaratskhelia (73rd minute) and Mayulu (87th minute) further cemented the win, much like they had against Manchester City two years earlier, though this time more painfully.
Qatari Finances Give Rise to Champions
The first-ever UEFA Cup triumph of PSG, an expensive project in Champions League history, finally realized its goal. For over a decade, PSG has relied on billions from Qatar for support. Winning Europe's premier league following the era of stars such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe seems ironic. Yet, under Luis Enrique, a unified team that lost 0-1 to Bayern in the group stage, has triumphed.
"Together, we are invincible" chanted the PSG supporters as their cherished club advanced to the final. From the onset, PSG took control and was rewarded with a masterfully crafted goal.
Vitinha, the linchpin of Paris' moves, found the unguarded Doué, who expertly set up Hakimi. The Moroccan finished for the lead, celebrating almost sheepishly, as a former Lille champion.
Inter's Misfortune with Dimarco
Inter's Federico Dimarco was ruled offside for the 0:1, and was also culpable for the 0:2. After a turnover in Paris' half, the ball swiftly moved forward via Kvaratskhelia to Dembélé. The 28-year-old served Doué on the switch, whose shot Dimarco deflected past Sommer. The PSG section erupted with fireworks, as they had for the opening goal.
Dembélé, who had gone on strike at Dortmund, demonstrated a mature demeanor on his way to the final. Just before halftime, he almost scored the third goal. Kvaratskhelia came closest to saving Inter in the additional time.
Yellow for Inzaghi, Victory for Enrique
Inter displayed a paltry offensive threat, causing frustration for Manager Simone Inzaghi for a considerable period. After Marcus Thuram missed a header from Hakan Calhanoglu's corner, Inzaghi had discarded his jacket.
Following the break, Inter managed a brief spell of hope, but their timid display failed to break down PSG's resilient defense, orchestrated by goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Inzaghi was cautioned (58.) as he sought to inspire his team to complete their "great adventure".
When Doué, Kvaratskhelia, and Mayulu scored five unanswered goals, Inter's dreams were finally squashed. Enrique sat back contentedly as his team savored the final, as he had demanded.
