PSG Reaches Unique Milestone in Champions League Finale
Crushing Victory: PSG's Record-Breaking 🏅 Champions League Final
Brace yourself, football fans! PSG decimated Inter with an unprecedented 5-0 drubbing in the Champions League final. This mammoth margin has set a new record for the largest victory in Champions League history.
Talk about historical moments! Prior to this year, only four teams managed to win by a margin of four goals. The late '80s and '90s saw AC Milan snatching two 4-0 victories against Steaua Bucharest and Barcelona, respectively [1][3]. Bayern Munich accomplished the same feat against Atletico Madrid in 1974 [1][3]. An astounding 7-3 victory by Real Madrid over Eintracht Frankfurt in 1960 shares the same four-goal difference, but the match's extraordinary goal count skews comparison [1][3].
The triumphant Parisians also made French football history, amassing the most trophies in a single season. Dominating all domestic tournaments, this European cup win marked their first international title since the Intertoto Cup back in 2001 [2].
To add to the victory, Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov became a Champions League champion with the PSG team. He earned this title by playing in two matches during the tournament, despite not featuring in the final game [2].
